QUEEN -S ET, AUCKLAND, (Immediately opposite City Market). , si [Established 1855. si XHSSENCE OF THE BLUE GUM, JUj or EUCALYPTI GLOBULUS. The Australian Anti-Fever Tree—That is, the Blue Gum, or Eucalytus globulus— has now spread its fame throughout the world,, though many do not properly estimate its. splendid qualities.! The Essence as manufactured by Messrs Sander and Son, although not a. panacea for every ill that fleshds heir to, is, nevertheless a Grand Remedial Agent. In Scarlet, Typhoid, or any case of Fever,, nothing will protect better against contagion than a few dror)s of the essence poured in the palm of the hand, and rubbed in, in order to liberate the vapours, or sprinkled over the clothes. The perfume will be noticed for a great length of time. Inwardly used, take three or four drops in half a tumbler of water. ' The essence effects a most surprising change of the whole constitution,, correcting. Indigestion, and creating a Healthy Appetite; . ' . In Cases of Sickness, a few drops put into a. saucer, and put into the room, will, being an, etheric essence, evaporate,' and» fill the- room' with the purifying vapour. Are you obliged to travel 2 A few. drops oe-^ casionally rubbed on the body will protect against any contagion you may be exposed'to in coming direct with sick persons, or in sleeping in the same room with, orin beds occupied pre viously by, sick persons. All Hotelkeepers will do well1 in sprinkling; from, time to tame in drawers, where linen is usually kept, a few drops of the pure essence. It produces no spots whatever, as every particle of it evaporates, and nothing remains. For all Wounds, Cuts, Burns, Sealdings,Ulcers i and Cancerous: WoundSi , a piece of linen wrapped round the suffering part, and moisted with a few drops of the, eucalypti essence, wnl stop all pain, and effect a speedy cure., to cases where a piece of linen cannot be applied, the moistening of the suffering part with the pure essence will do as well. '■' „ . ; In Case of Colds,, moisten the nostrils with a few drops and inhale the vapour, and you will feel the immediate relief and entire riddance of the heat. , .
