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 itß surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through tae presence jf acids. By theirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resine and tennates.

" A. report comes from the district of Wagunyah N.S.W., of a Fottler and his family exhibiting very serious Bymptoma of poieoning after partaking o their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sus j picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a on« pound tin m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic ar.Kl, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa'tu m welding the parts of tin together; The analys warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become Impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very Bafest package to purchase is that packed m lead with rd inside lining of vegetable parchment This sty c of packet is quite impervious to the air, and tea bo packed has been known to retain al its aroma and itreugtb for a period of five years.'
