It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz,Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. i Mossier, Direotor of the Medical CJinics at Greifswald, that only products that are , saturated with oxygen a»d freed of aoids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will deveJope the sanative qualities proper to the pluiit All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extract* *re to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpendnee, which «c abandoned long since as 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 Extracb develops most" freely through its surplus oxygen, 2 By their alcoholic fhia arc! mobile appear ance being reduitul m specific den'Sjfcy i through the presence of acida. 3 By their taste^ the result of the contracting tendency of retype and tennates.
