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 iißtillat'on forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, whioh is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, aa 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 Medioal Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substanoos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Euoalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, whioh »re abandoned long since as an nternal udioament. These crude oils, or so called Euoalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — whioh our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extraob develops moab freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m speoifio density through the presence of aoide, By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennatea. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m oaßes of oroup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
