THE GUM LEAF CURE. Eucalypti Essence! ET the Public take notice of a few facts 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 Lhe blue gum, or eucalyptus globulus—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 foe of fever and ague. Every day iu 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 onr people. This fact is now recognised by all scientists in the world. ■lts Claim as a Curative. Discovery.

It has now become the fashion with the inventors of discoveries of remedial agents to claim something little short of infallibility and univorsability 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 assort 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 bettor 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 half a tumbler of water. The essence effects a most surprising change of the whole constitution, correcting indigestion, and creating a healthy appetite. For Children Attending Schools, the same mode may bo adopted. In Cases of Sickness, a few' drops put into a saucer, and put into the room will, being an ethcric essence, evaporate, and lill the loom with the purifying vapor. Are you obliged to Travel! A. few drops ■occasionally rubbed on the body, will protect against any contagion you nray be exposed to, in coming 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 arothing remains. 'ln 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, Cats, Barns, 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 stop all pain, and effect a speedy cure. In cases where apiece of linen •cannot be applied, the moistening of the suffering part with the pure essence will do as well.

In cast of Colds, moisten the nostrils with a few drops and inhale the vapour, and you will feel immediate relief, ami entire riddance of the heat.

In all cases where the Lungs may he Affected, tho above-mentioned process, eontiuufUly repeated, will be the best that can be advised.

hi cases of Rheumatism, a mixture of one part of the pure essential eucalypti essence avith throe parts of spirits of wine, well rubbed in the suffering part, has acted better than any other remedy. In all cases of lif animation, the essence may bo applied to the part affected. In severe cases oj Foothachc of rheumatic origin, the pure essence may be applied on the external part of the face.

I n eases of Inflammation of the. Eyes, apply the pure essence to the outside of the eyelids. "
