'they may bo 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, hut 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 live 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 infallihi ity and univorsability of cure for their respective agents. Messrs Bander and lions 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 store then, that th- it- eucalypti essence can fairly assert itself to be a grand panacea for many of the ills that llesh is lieir 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 tho vapors, or spiinkled over . the clothes. The perfume will be noticed I 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 creat ing a healthy appetite. For Children Attending Schools, the same mode may he adopted. ! In Cases of Sickness, a few drops put into a saucer, and put into the room will. ! cing an cthcrio essence, evaporate, and till the room with the purifying vapor. Are you obliged to Travel! A few drops occasionally rubbed on the body, will pro toot against any contagion you may tic exposed to, in coming direct with sick persons, or in sleeping in tho same room with, or in beds occupied previously by sick persons. All llote'keepers will do well ti sprinkle from time to time in drawers where linen is ! usually kepr, a few drops of the pure cs-un-I tia'essence. It produces no spots v. hatevc . las every particle of it evaporates, an I \ nothing v< mains. In short, where a disinfectant is needed, • the pure es-entiai enc.-oypt! essence ought, <• be oi.c you leave recourse to, and no fan ■; n lit o 'vu ))oti tit ll’.e.H ’.S t'nis. Burns. Scald-tigs, cannot no appdc t. lie- on'istenin.. of the snil'cring part with the pure essence will do as well. In, case, of Colds, moisten the nostrils with a few drops and inhale the vapour, an you will feel immediate relief, and entire riddance of the heat. In all c-tsiswhere the Langs may he Affected, tho above-mentioned process, continually repeated, will be the best that can bo advised In cases of Rheumatism, a mixture of one Dart of tlm pure essential eucalypti essence with three parts of spirits of wine, wed rubbed in the suffering part, has acted bettor than any other remedy. In alt cases of Inflammation, the essence may be applied to the part affected. In severe cases of Toothache of rheumatic origin, the pure essence may bo applied on the external part of the face. In cases of Inflammation of the Eyes , apply the pure essence to the outside of the 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 the essence has proved the best remedy.
