These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m gungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. J By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- 1 ance being reduced m speoifio density I through the preßenoe of acids. I By their taste, the result of the contracting j tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
