SAJSIXEitt Sc tsona £noa* lypti Extract, i Under the distinguished patronage of Hia Majesty the King of Italy, aa per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Olinioa and Universities all over the Globe. There are Imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, produota of aitnple distillation forming crude reainoua oila. In OUR PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPIf EXTRACT, which ia recogniaed by tb» medical division of the PruaaianGovernment .to be of perfectly pure origin, aa per information forwarded to na through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2,1878, we abate:— . - It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universitiea at Bonn and Greifswald, Pruaaia, and reported by Dr. Sohult,Ptof«Ksot of Parmacology, at Bon, and Profeuor Drt Moaaier, Director of the Medioal Qliafica at Greifawald, that only product! thft are aatarated with oxygen and freed af acids, reainoua and other aubatancea, adhnut to primary distillation, will develop* the aanative qualitiea proper to the plant All crude oila, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts are to be claaaed according to the named authorities, among the turpenawet, which are abandoned long sinoe aa an internal medioament. Theae crude oila, or ao oailed Eucalypti Extracta, are diacernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only gen nine Eucalypti Extract developa moat freely through ita aurplua oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appcar &bco being reduced in specific dtrtity through the preienoe of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resin* and tennatea. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake in caeto of oroup, bronchitis,, diphtheria, inien-al ufiarnations, dysentery, etc., the cuu sequences are most appalling. For *ar3ty sake ast alwaya for SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. — Sandhurst, ViotoriA, Aviistralia. SAM>EK & 80N5,.., >f;■ unumimMmmammmmmmmmMmmammmimammimm PHASES OF THE MOON. AVBIt.
