Under the distinguished patronage of Sis Majesty the King of Italy, aa 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 Amßterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Onivereities 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 be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which ia recognised by the medical division of the Pruasian Government be of perfectly pure origin, a3 per n formation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, wo tate : — It is proved by testß by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Drl Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are taturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancoß, adherent to primary distillation, will develope tbe vanative qualities proper to the plant \llcrude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpenoinee, which are abandoned long since as an nternal udicatnent. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our prodncfc, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops moato fceely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m spocific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of rosins and tenoates, If these crude oils, so-called euc&lypt extracts, are applied by mistake ia oases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamatione, dyßentery, etc., the con- sequenced are most appalling.
