It has been estimated that the Australian blue gums, which stud the face of the Colony, contain about five hundred million gallons of pure volati.e oil, that is the mortal foe 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 iu the world Discovery.

Its Claim as a Curative. It lias how become tho fashion with the inventors of discoveries of remedial agents to claim something little short of infalliiii it y ami universahility of cure for their respective agents.
