Bead the offioial reports that accompany eaoh bottle. iSVe have no oooasion to offer rewards m proof of the genuineness of our references. The official reports of medioal olinioa and universities, the offioioial communication of the Oonsul-General for Italy at Melbourne ; the diploma awarded International Exhibition, Amsterdam— all these are authentio documents, and, as suoh, not open to doubt.

Incisions i 3 made m two places. Although Lister's dressing was applied, the seoretion became, two days later, very copious, and had adopted a foetid, decomposed oharaoter. The temperature rose enormously, In oonsequence the dressing was removed, and on its place were made during the day-time repeated irrigations with Euoalypti Extraot.
