These crude oils, or so called Euoalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our produot, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops moßt freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates.
