Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs 'jhroKgh the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In fder that three crude oils may not be taken, UUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is reconciled by the medical division of the Prussian Government to bo of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state:— It is proved by tests by the Medion! Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifewald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Pchu3z,Profeesnr of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director <»f the Medical Clinics n f GreifswaM, that only products th»t a? saturated with oxygen aud freed of «cid reainous and other substances, adherent t primary distillation, will develope th. sanative qualities proper fco the plai.- Allcrade oils, or 30 called Kscalypti Extract ire to be classed according to the natner> authorities, among the turpenoiner, wbieK -re abandoned long since as an Intern*.' medicament. These crude oih. or so called i'luoalypti Extracts, are disoerolble :— 1 By their deficipney in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extraeb develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. ll~By iuSir a!ooh«3jp_thJo and mobile appear 4»uce beiag reducedi ln'-fps'ilifiol _ de^sitj through toe presenoe of aoidn. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eocalypM extracts, are applied by mistake is cages oi sroup, bronohitis, diphtheria, iucenml tiflamations, dysentery, etc., the con iequences are most appalling.
