THE GUM LEAF CURE, Eucalypti Essence! ET the Public take notice of a few facta put forward for their information in this intimation. They may be worth their study, and repay perusal in enlightening them upon a subject of practical utility. The History of the Essence's The Australian anti-fever tree—that is the blue gum, or eucalyptus ylubulus— has now spread its fame throughout the world, but there are many who do not properly estimate its splendid qualities. It has been estimated that the Australian blue gums, which stud the face of the Colony, contain about five hundred million gallons of pure volatile oil, that is the mortal foo of fever and ague. Every day in the year the forests of the colony are giving out and exhaling in the form of vapour, an aromatic fragrance to our breezes, and a health-giving essence to our people. This fact is now recognised by all scientists in the world Its Claim as a Curative. ft has now become the fashion with the inventors of discoveries of remedial agents to claim something little short of infallibility and universability of cure for their respective agents. Messrs Sander and Sons did nothing of the sort. They have confidence that their essence possesses many virtues ; but the full extent of these they do not know yet. They are now collecting data, and they are most careful and searching in performing this. It is quite sure then, that their eucalypti essence can fairly assert itself to be a grand panacea for many of the ills that flesh is heir to. 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 vapors, or sprinkled over the clothes. The perfume will be noticed for a length of time. Inwardly used, take three or four drops in lialf a tumbler of water. The essence effects a most surprising change of the whole constitution, correcting indigestion, and creating a healthy appetite. For Chi'dren Altendiwj Schools, the samo mode may he adopted. Discovery.

In Cases of Sickness, a few drops put into -a saucer, and put into the room will, being an etheric essence, evaporate, and till the room with the purifying vapor. Art you obliged to Travel! A few drops occasionally rubbed on tho body, will protect against any coutagiou you may be exposed to, in coining direct with sick persons, or in sleeping in the same room with, or in beds occupied previously by sick persons. All Hotelkeepers will do well to sprinkle from time to time in drawers where linen is usually kept, a few drops of the pure essential essence, it produces no spots whatever, as every particle of it evaporates, and nothing remains. In short, where a disinfectant is needed, the pure essential eucalypti essence ought to be the one you have recourse to, and no ■ family ought to be without it. For all Wounds, Cuts, Burns, Scoldings, Ulcers, and Cancerous Wounds, a piece of linen wrapped round the suffering part, and moistened with a few drops of the eucalypti essence, will atop all pain, and effect a speedy cure. In cases where a piece of linen cannot bo applied, the moistening of tho suffering part with tho 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 immediate relief, and entire riddance of the heat. In all cases inhere the. Lungs may he Affected, the above-mentioned process, continually repeated, will be tho best that cau be advised. In cases of Rheumatism, a mixture of one part of the pure essential eucalypti essence with three parts of spirits of wine, well rubbed in the suffering part, has acted better than any other remedy. In all cases of Inflammation, the essence may be applied to the part affected. In severe cases of Toothache of rheumatic origin, the pure essence may be applied on tiie external part of the face. In cases of Inflammation of the Eyes, apply the pure essence to the outside of tho eyelids. Headache, and Rheumatic Pains in the Head are positively cured and removed by rubbing the essence on the affected parts. For many cases of Severe Bruises tho essence has proved the best remedy. •gtr No other essence 5s genuine except that in tho vials hearing on the labels our signature and trade mark Retail Agents-; Henry Hotot, Chemist, Clyde.
