SA-INOEK &; Sous Euc alypti JExtrnet. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as 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 Clinica and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eacalypti Extract m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oila. In order that these crude oil? may not be taken, UR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the I 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 t«te :— It is proved by teats by the Medical Clion of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz,Professor f Parmacology, at Bop, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director ?f the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen a.jd freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to . mary distillation, will develope the anative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so oallod Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpendiner, which are abandoned long since as an Internal medicament. These crude oila, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odoar— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen, 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through bae presence jf acids. 3 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 m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
