SAIN_DJ__.K, Sc »o_i*s JB.ico.- lyi»ti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for lialy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract tbe market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. Iv order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which ie 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, andreported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr.* Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which are abandoned long since as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extraot develops moßt freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called euoalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
