SANDER & SONS' EUCALYPTI EX TRACT-—Under the distinguished patronag of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per com munication made by the Minister forfPoreign Affairs, through the Consul-General or Italyat Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Acknowledged by Mdical Clinios and Universities all over the Globe.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation, forming crude, resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for our pursolatile Eucalypti Extract, which is recognise by the Medical Division of the Prussian Goernment to be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we vtate:—

It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia), and reported to by Dr Schu'.tz 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 aoids resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. All crude oils or 80-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 discernible:

1. By their deficiency in pungent odor which our product, the only genuine Euca lypti Extract, develops most freely through ts surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile ap pearance, 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.
