SAINDIDBb?. &c ssons Euca- lyptiExtraot. I Under the distinguished patronage of His , Rlajeaty the King of Italy, as per communica- •iou made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1833. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over tho Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract lbs market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2. 1878, we tate :— It is proved by teßts by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor f Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that arc saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other eubstancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant \llorude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which are abandoned loner since as an nterna.l udicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m speoifio density through the presence of acids. By their taate, the result of the contracting tendency of rosins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called encalypl extracts, are applied by mistake m canna of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nfiamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
