SA.??l>]&i:C. «c sons Euca lypti Extrnct. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire bhrough 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 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 bate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinic of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dn Mossier, Director ni the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen a^d freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts &re to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpendnee, whioh are 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 Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific; density through tne presence of 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 im cases oi croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamatione, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling. For safety ake ask always for SANDER & SON' 6 EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. — Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDEK & SONS.
