" A. report comes from the district of Wagunyah, N.S.W., of a settler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sus picion fell on the tea they had used, A sample taken. - from a one pound tin ia use was anaiyeed and found to contain Btrong traces of muriatic wr.iil, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa-ts m welding the parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed m email tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed In lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. Thin style of pa ket is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known t» retain ai its aroma anil strength for a period of five years.' -KIT K.-KOZIE iZA is packed m lead with as nsideliuine of VctrefsWe Parchment.

S^XJDXiiii. &c (sons £2uea« iypti*«actr«ct. Under bhe distinguished patronage of Hlr Majesty the King of Italy, ac 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 Medical Olinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products o{ 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 Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schnlz,Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Drf Mossier, Director of the Medical 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 sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, whioh 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 moat freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin 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 resin* and tennates. If these crude oils, sooalled eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake la cases of croup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nominations, dysentery, etc., the con* sequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. — Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER & SONS. f—^— ——■—^———■——»w THE LEADING JEWELLER, & WATOHMAKER J.V.
