We .take the following from the Sydney Evening News of the Ist April “ We learn with pleasure that the Eucalypti Extract is finding acceptance in high circles. Not long ago very flattering testimony was received from the National Scientific Institution of Germany, relative to the uses and efficacy of the extract, and now Messrs Sander and Sous are favored with a communication from the King of Italy, through the Consul-General 3 at Melbourne, who says ‘ The forwarded parcel of the Extract of the Eucalyptus gave great satisfaction to his Majesty, mv august Sovereign, and now I am entrusted through the Minister for Foreign Affairs with the agreeable charge of expressing to yon his Majesty’s thanks,’...With such a recommendation as this, we cannot doubt but that Messrs Sander and Sons’ manufacture will receive greater attention from scientific bodies, and will be more largely used by all classes of the community. We are convinced of this, that if given a fair trial, the extract will always prove successful for whatever it is recommended, of which we have had abundant evidence; and another important fact in proof of its beneficial effects is that the sale has been ; very rapid in all parts of Victoria, in many parts of New South Wales, and New Zealand, and grateful testimonials have flooded in from all parts. We have not the slightest doubt that Messrs Sanders and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract will, ere long, obtain a world-wide fame,- equal, if not superior, to Holloway’s pills. It is now on a fair

•way to this, as agencies have been established all over the Australian colonies, New Zealand, America, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy. ” For miraculous cures’ by the use of Eucalypti Extract, read fourth page.— [Advt.]
