SAZVDEK Ac »on« Euca lypti Extrnct. 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 Olinios and r Universities all over the Globe. ' There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract '. m the market, products of simple ' distillation forming orude resinous oils. In ' order that these crude oils may not be taken, 1 UR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYFD | 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 1 Consul at Melbourne, Maroh 2,1878. we 1 bate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical CHno i of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald i Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz.Profeseor f Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr« i Mossier, Director &f the Medical Clinics at i | Greifswald, that only product* that are i ] saturated with oxygen aud freed of aolds, i 1 resinous and other substances, adherent to r { primary distillation, will develope the , I anative qualities proper to the plant ; A'l crude oils, or so called Euoalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named [ authorities, among the turpenoiuee, which : are abandoned long since as an internal i medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— whioh our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. ' 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear* ance being reduced m specific density through tae preeenoe of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennatcs. if these -crude oils, so-called euoalyptt extracts, are applied by mistake ia cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nfiamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.

Miscellaneous Items. «■ ' ■» — I A Wilt Native.—An instance of how a wily native got the better of some rapacious Boers is related by a King William's Town journal. It may also incidentally illustrate the Boers' horror of eoap Shortly before making tracks for the colony, the native got a bar of ordinary soap, m which he embedded eighty British sovereigns, carefully removing all indications thtt the bar had been tam pered with ; m fact, simply showing that it had apparently been used once or twice. Then, with a few loose shillings iv his pocketr, he started for tho colony, and on tha way he met with a party of Boers, who overhauled him f on h<-ad to foot, and examined his bundle, m which was the innocent-looking soap. Tho Boers took the few shillings the man had, and, giving him several kicka and cuffs, ordered him to clear. A Brave Tbooper,—Heie is a hitherto unpublished incident m connection with the British victory at Elandslaagte, which will plaoo on imperishable record the name of one of Grahamstown'B sons, now serving with the Imperial Light Horse m Natal. In the thick of the fight, Colonel Chishoime was shot through the pody, and immediate'y Trooper Oiflford ITurpin, son of the Rev. W. H. Turpin, rushed forward, aid, raising his commending officer m his arms, heroic ally sought to convey him out of the zone of fir>, but eie he could do so another bullet crashed through the unfortunate colonel's bmin, instantaneously killing him. For that gallant act, m the face of a storm of lead, Trooper Turpin has been awarded his sear gent's stripes, _and—prouder distinction yet —he has been specially montioned m de spatches for conspicuous bravery m the field, Amberley, Dec?, 1899 [Copy] Messrs Ckaighead AfD Berryman AhhburtoD, Dear Sirs, —Could yon make a eu<t at once.
