SAZVI>JE±€ <& »on» Euca lypti JtSsctfrne*. Under the distinguished patronage of Hie Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tioE 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 Olinica and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract la the market, products of simple diadilation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI ! EXTRACT, which is recognised by the j 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 bats :— It ia proved by teats by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmaeology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director af the Medical CHnics at Greifßwald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aad fraed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent, to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant AH crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are fco be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpencinec, whish are abandoned long since aa an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through tine presence jf acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake its cases of oroup, bronchi tie, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the oon iequencea are most appalling.
