POTT E R & C 0., 'j. Durham-street West SSENCE OF THE BLUE GUM, OR EUCALYPTI GLOBULUS. The Australian Anti-Fever Tree—That is, the Blue Gum, or Euccdytus 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 flesh is 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 drops 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 our drops in half a tumbler water. The essence effects a most surprising change of Ithe 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 ? A few drops oc 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, or in beds occupied pre viously by, sick persons All Hotelkeepers will do well in sprinkling from time to time 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, Scaldings,Ulcers and Cancerous Wounds, a piece of linen wrapped round the suffering part, and moisted with a few drops of the eucalypti essence, will stop all pain, and effect a speedy cure. In 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.
