FACHE CROMWELL:-Mr. JAS. MARSHALL Arrow:—M‘DOUGAL & SMITH THE GUM LEAF CURE. Eucalypti Essence! LET 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 Discovery. The Australian anti-fever tree-—that is the 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 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. It 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 thdr 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 fonr 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, Uie same mode may be adopted. In Cases of Sickness, a few drops put into a saucer,_ and put into the room will, being an etherio essence, evaporate, and fill the room with the purifying vapor. Are you obliged to Travel! A few drops occasionally rubbed on tho body, will prrttect 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 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 particla 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. jlor all Wounds, Cuts, Burns, Scaldings, 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 a piece of linen cannot be applied, tbe moistening of the suffering part whh the pure essence will do as well. In case of Colds, moisten the nostrils with a few drops and inhale tho vapour, and you will feel immediate relief, and entire riddance of the heat. In all cases where the Lungs may he Affected, the above-mentioned process, continually repeated, will bo tho best that can bo 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 tho suffering part, has acted better than any other remwly. In all cases of Inf animation, tho essence may be applied to the part affected. In severe cases of Toothache of rheumatic rrigin, the pure essence may be applied on the external part of tbe face. in cases of Inflammation of the Eyes, apply die pure essence to the outside of tho eyeids. Headache, and Rheumatic Pains in the Head are positively cured and removed by ■ubbing the essence on the affected parts. For many cases of Severe Bruises the o*leuce has proved tho best remedy. rSS* No other essence is genuine except that in the vials bearing on the labels our signature and trade mark Retail Agents : Henry Hotop, Chemist, Clyde.
