SAWIXESK Sc Sons Euca- lypti 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 Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and UniveraitWß all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extraob the 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 forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, Maroh 2, 1878, we tate :— It is proved by testa by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Frußßia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor { Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Direotor of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of reainoua and other nubstanoos, adherenb to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the . plant \ll crude oils, or bo called Euoalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an nternal adioament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extraob develops mosb freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density throngh the presence of acids. By theirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resinft and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypb extracts, are applied hy mistake m cases of oronp, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamatione, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are moßt appalling.
