TESTING THE LUNGS

To ascertain the state of the lungs, draw in as much breath as you conveniently can. then count as long as possible in a slow and audible voice without drawing in mor-< breath. The number of seconds must be carefully notod. In a consumptive the time does not exceed ten, and is frequently less than six seconds ; in pleurisy and pneumonia it ranges from nine to four seconds. When the lungs are sound the time will range as high as from twenty to thirty-five

To expaud the lungs go into the open air, stand erect, throw back the head and shoulders, and draw in the air through the nostrils as much as possible, Alter having then filled the lungs, raise your arms, still extended, and draw in the air. When yon h«v<- just forced the arm« „ „ kwarawi.h .hechestop<*«, change the process hy which you draw in your, bivath till the lungs arc emptied. Go through this procees several times a day and it will enlarge- the chest, give thelune* better play, and serve very much ho"ward of? serious lung troubles.

SANDER & SONS' EUCALYPTI EX TBACT-- -Under the distinguished patr ornof His Majesty the King of Italy, as per cnag munication ma'le by the Minister forfForeign Affairs, through the Consul-General or Italyat Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma, at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Acknowledged by Mdical Clinics 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 pernformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we vtate:—

It is proved by tests made by the Medica 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. AH crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to be classed according to the named authoriU is, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. Tt ese crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:

1. By their deficiency in pungent odor Iwhich our product, the only genuine Euoa ypti Extract, develops most freely through ts surplus oxygen.)

2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile ap pearance, being reduced to specifio 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 eroup, bronchitis, dipthcria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., the consequences are most appalling.
