lypti JESxtract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as par communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire through the Consul-General for Italy, at i 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 oik. In order that these crude oil* may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPT EXTRACT, which ie recognised by the media*! division of the PrussianQovernr, *">' ,to be of perfectly pare origin, as p< information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878. vrp babe :— \ It is proved by tests by the Medical CU-t, < of the Universities ac Bonn and Greifswr.'i I Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz,ProfW-';r i f Parmacology, at Bop, and Professor On | Mossier, Director nt the Medical Clinics ah Greifswaid, that only products that aro saturated with oxygen aid freed of acxdo resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope th« sanative qualities proper to the plan | All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extract. are to be classed according to the ntimai ' authorities, among the turpenoinee, whish <kre abandoned long eince as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— 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 in specific density through tne presenoe #f acids. 3 By their taste, the result of tha contracting tendency of resins and tennates. i xf these crude oils, so-c MA eucalypti extracts, are applied by mißta :e In caoes of | oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal in Carnations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are 'most appalling.
