SANDEB & SONS' EUCALYPTI EX TBA.CT*—Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communication made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, through the Consul-General for Italy at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Uni versities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation, orming crude, resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for our pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract, which is recognised by the Medical Division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state:— It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia), and reported to by Dr Schultz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the Medical Clincs at Griefswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to be classed according to the named authorit* is, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. Tl ese crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are i discernible:

1. By their deficiency in pungent odor (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely through ts surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile appearance, being reduced to specific density through.the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of contract ing tendency of resins and tanats. If these crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, dipthcria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety's sake ask always for Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract.— Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia.—SANDEß & SONS.
