lypti Extract. 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 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 order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical divißion of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to uh through the Consul at Melbourne, Marr.h 2, 1878, we bate:— It is proved by tests by the Medical .Client of the Umveraitieß at Bonn aiad Grei'swald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schnlz.Profeeeor of Parmacolbgy, at Bop, and Profeeeor Dt€ Mossier, Director i»f the Medical filmiea at Greifawald, tha-t only pro«?'.icv ti<«t ate saturated with oxygen aid freed o acids, resinous and other substances, atlinrrtit to primary diitillation, will devployw fcfte sanative qualities proper to r.be plan, Allcrude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extr&ets are to be classed accordiEg to the uame'd authorities, among the turpeooinee,. whish "ire abandoEfd long Bince aa an iateraa' medicanien*. These orucio oils, or so calied Eucalypti.Extracts,, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which oar product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely ttroagi its tiurptaa oxygen, 2 By their alcoholic thia and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through tne presenoe of acids. 5 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. xf these crude oils, so-c led euculypti extracts, are applied by mista ;e in oases of proup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflrrniationp, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
