S/t3iX>lQJbt. &,. sssotkm XOuea lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of Hie 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 Medical Clinics 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 ornde oils may not be taken, OUR PURB VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussi&nGovernment to be of perfectly pare origin, m per information forwarded to ns through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2,1678, we state :— It is proved by teats by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz,Professor of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. , 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 develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Ail crude Oils, or so oaliod Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpenoinee, which are abandoned long since as an Internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:— j 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour'- j which our product, the only genuine ; Eucalypti Extract develops most freely j through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear• ance being reduced in specific density through the preseDoe of acids. 3 By their taste, the result «f the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude cile, co-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake in oases of «oup, bronchitis, diphtheria, inr.ernal uflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling. For safety s*ke ask always for SANDER & SON'S ECJCALYFTI EXTRACT. — Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. ■ SANDEIi & FONS. Ftuse prophets ar.tf charlatans have wrought mnch iTfißchie! in ail ages.
