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 Clinioa and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, product? of simple distillatiou forming crude reainous oils. In order that thees crude oils may not be tifeeff, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYP'JT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the PrussianQoveroment to be of perfectly pure origin, aa per tuformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state:— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinoi of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz,Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mjßßsier, Director <»f the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aad freed of aoids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop© the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Euoalypti Extraots *re to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpenoihet, which are abandoned long since as an Internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:— i By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen, S By their alooholio thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through toe presenoe jf acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennate*. if these crude oils, so-called euoalypti extracts, are applied by mistake m oases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
