ls'pti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, Maich 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 disullatjou forming crude resinous oils. In order t hat these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which i 8 recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per "formation 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, i'ruasia, 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 reainouß and other Btibataocoß, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the .anative qualities proper to the plant Ul crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extraots are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which *re abandoned long since as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are 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 alooholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m speoifio 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 extracts, are applied by mistake ia oases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamationß, dysentery, etc, the con- sequences are moat appalling.
