SAZNI>JL:jc & Sons Euca lypti .Extract. I Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as 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 Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinics and Universities all over the 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 tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinio of the Universities at Bonn and Greifawald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz.Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director pf the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen a.id freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develops the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts Ate to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpendnee, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. 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 alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through tne presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If thesa crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake ia cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling. For safety ake ask always for SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. — Sandhurst, Viotoria, Australia. f SANDEK & SONS.



EOT.LOWAT'a OINXMBNT AND PILLS. — The Good Die Young.-—Unlike most popular eayiDgs, this has very little truth m it. Experience every day proves that some at least of the good are spared to make the world brighter and better, and a more pleasant place to live m, In fact, our experience is that good people, and good things generally, live the longest. For example, consider the thousands of articles which have been widely advertised and are now forgotten. Why 1 Because they were bad. On the other hand, wa hare Hollo way's Pills and Ointment, which have proved the faithfa 1 frfend of poor humanity for fifty yeara and more. Why ? Bec»u»e they are good; Of a troth, that which is good does not die, but lives for all time.
