POISOINED! 11 A report comes from tbp district of WagunyaU N.P.W., of a pettier and his family exhibiting very >eripus symptoms of poisoning after partaking o their evening meal. In searching for tho cause, sua pioion fell oa the tea they had used. A sample taken from a ouo pound tin in use wa3 unalyEod and found to contain strong traces of uiiiriiitlc uriil, the proscuca of which is caused by the use of spirits of fia'ts in welding tho parts of tin together. The analyst Warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing I to its very absorbent uatiiro, is very liable to fcccomo ' impregnated with this ncid, and therefore dangerous , lor Unman consumption, and advises that the very i safest package to purchase is that packed in lead with nu inside liuing of vegetable paroumont. Thisstjt of pa ktt Is quite impervious to tUo air, aDd ten su packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength for s period of five years." ItO'rB.— KOZIB TEA is packed in lead with an nsido lining of Vegetable Parchment. I have been a sufferer from chronic diar- rhoea ever since bhe war and have used all kinds of medicines for ib.

SANXMBJ!* &; »oii!S Euca- lypti xdxtmct. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica' tion 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 Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not bo taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI BXT.BA.CT, 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 tests ly the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Profesaor Dr. Moseier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are oaturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develops the *unative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so callod Eucalypti Extract? are to be classed according to the named authorities, among tho turpentines, which are abandoned lonsf since as an nternal aclicamont:. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholics thin and mobilo appear- ance being reduced in specific density through the preaonoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. : If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, interim! nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
