Under the distinguished patronage of Hie Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics antf 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 theee crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EDGALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the PrussianGovernmeat to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to as through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we bate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Client of the Universities afc Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Eor, and Professor Dre Mossier, Director »f Che Medical Clinics as Greifswald, chat only products that aro saturated with oxygen a.id freed of acid c resinous and other substances, adherent !> primary distillation, will develope th sanative qualities proper to the plan Allcrudo oils, or so called Eucalypti Extract are to be classed according to the Earned authorities, among the turpenoinee, whiah ire abandoned long einoe 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 specifics density through toe presence of acids. 3,8y their taste, tho result of the contracting tendency of resice and tennatee. if these crude oils, so-c led eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista c in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, intern*] inSamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
