SAJSJXEIJcS. <Sc Wons JESnca lypti Extract. 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 tha Globe. There are imitations of Euoalypti 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 EUOALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medioal 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 Medioal Cimio .of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schuk,Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Moßsier, Director ef the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aad 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 Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentine*, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so oalled Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through tne presence ai acids. By their taste, the result of the oo a tract ing tendency of resins and tenna' et* if these crude oils, so-called euoalypti extracts, are applied by mistake la cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc, the con sequences are most appalling.
