Under the distinguished patronage of Hi* Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Conßul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, Maroh 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Euoalypti Extract m 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 0 be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, Maroh 2, 1878, we tate:— It is proved by tests by the Medioal Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of P&rmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mosßier, Director of the Medioal Clinicß at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of ds resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the «anative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extraots Are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an nternal ttdioamenr. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called euoalypt extraots, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
