SAJNDXiH && saonm JEiiea lypti Extract. Under trie distinguished p-ttronige of Rip Majesty the King of Italy, as per communiea tioa 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 m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURK VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pare origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2. 1878, we tato s— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by D . Sohulz.Profeasor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinicß at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Ail crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extract* are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpendnee, which sre 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, 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear acco being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennatee. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.

POISOINED! wi™l6^ comes from the district of Wagimyah, H.8.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 analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic acid, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of salts m welding the parts of tin together! The analyst warns consumers that tea packed ia small tins owinc 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 m lead with Bn inside lining of vegetable parchment. This style of packet is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength for a period of five years.' Jiaide lining at Vegetable Parchment.
