Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities ail 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 PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI 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 Consul at Melbourne, March 2,1878, we tate :—



Chronic I»iarrho«ii Coreti My mother Buffered witn chronic diar rhoea for several months. She was attended »y two physicians who at last pronounced her caee hopeless. Sha procured one 25-cent bottle of Chamberlain's (Jolio, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy, and five doses gave her permanent relief. I take pleasure m recom mending it as the belt on the market.—Mrs F E Watson, Aiken, Ala. Sold by ASHBCB JON DBCO COMPANY! i



It is proved by tests by the Medical Ctinio of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz,Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dri Mossier, Directpr £>f the Medical Clinics at Greifswaid, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aad freed of aoids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts Are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, 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 Eucalypti Extract develops moat freely j through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through tne presence af acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. xf these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extractß, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con. sequences are most appalling.
