SAIXI>JEIK <Sc a*ons .Euca lypti JBxtrn,ct. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tloa 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 Medical Olinica and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract In 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 bate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinic of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sobulz,Professor of Parmacoiogy, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director sf the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen a.jd freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All erode oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts *re to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, 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 produot, 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 toe presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resine and tennateß. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake ia cases of group, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nftomations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
