□formation 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 Clines 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 qualifies proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to bo classed according to the named authority js, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. T 1 ese crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible: -

1. By their deficiency in pungent odor Iwhich our product, the only genuine Euci ypti Extract, develops most freely througn 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. For safety's sake ask always or Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract.— Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. —SANDER & SONS.
