Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinouß oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTEACT, 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 by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, 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 ds resinous and other subßtancos, adherent i primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long Bince as ani nternal ddicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, ate discernible ; 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m speoifjo density through the presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, bo called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- s equences are most appalling.

BLOOD PURIFIED. WEIGHT SNCREASED. Health Completed Restored. Col. Jas. H. Carmichael, a Distinguished member of the Staff of tha f Governor of Massachusetts, and whose portrait is here reproduced, | heartily recommends Ayer's Sarsaparilla. "I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla with markedly beneficial results. When I began using it I was very much out of health, and had lost a good deal m weight My blood was man unhealthf ul condition, which was made manifest m several unpleasant ways. Soon after commencing the use of the Sarsaparilla I began to improve, my weight increased, and bef orevery long my health was completely restored. I heartily recommend AVER S SAKSAPABILLA." The above testimonial from the gallant Colonel, and the many thousands of others received from all parts of the world, are incontrovertible evidence of the wonderful efficacy of AVER'S SARSAPARILLA as a blood purifier and health restorer. " Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." There are many worthless imitations seeking to profit by the world-wide reputation Of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. See that the name-Ayer's Sarsapar illa-is on the wrapper, and blown m the glass of each bottle. Accept no other. Preoared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, -Mass., U. S. A.
