iypti ICxtrnct. Under the distinguished patronage of Hie Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over th« Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti 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 to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state:— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dri Mossier, Director of the Medioal Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develops the 1 sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts 1 are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpensinee, which are abandoned long since as an internal j medicament. These crude oils, or so called I Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:— ) 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— whloh our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extraob develops most) freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic tbin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake In cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
