Medical The Gum Leaf Cure. EUCALYPTI ESSENCE. LET the Public take notice of a few faots put forward for thoir information in this intimation. They may bo worth their study, and repay perusal in enlightening thorn upon a subject of practical utility. THE HISTORY OP THE ESSENCE'S DISCOVERY. The Australian anti-fever tree—that is the i blue gum, or eucalyptus globulus —has now' spread its fame throughout the world, but there are many who do not properly estimate its splendid qualities. It has been estimated that the Australian blue gums, which stud the face of the colony, contain about fire: hundred million gallons of pure rolatile oil,! that is the mortal foe of fever and ague. Every day in the year the forests of tho colony are! giving out and exhaling, in the form of vapor,! an aromatic fragrances to our breezes, and a health-giving essence to our people. • This fact is now recognised by all the scientists hi the world. ITS CLAIM A 8 A CURAITYE. i It has now become the fashion with the invendors or discoverers of remedial agents to claim something little short of infallibility and universality of cure for their respective I agents. Messrs Sander and Sens did nothing of. the sort. '; They have confidence that their essence possesses many virtues; but the full extent of these they do not know yet. They are now collecting data, and they are most careful and searching in performing this. It is quite sure then, that their eucalypti essence can fairly assert itself to be a grand panacea for many of the ills that flesh is heir to. In Scarlet, Typhoid, or any case of Fever, nothing will protect better aguiust contagion tban a few drops of the essence poured in the palm of the hand, and rubbed in, in order to liberate the vapors, or sprinkled over, the olotbes. The perfume will be noticed for a great length of lime. Inwardly used, take three or four drops in half a tumbler of water. The essence effects a most surprising change of the whole constitution, correcting indigestion, and creating a healthy appetite. ~ . For Children Attending Schools, the same mode may be adopted. In Cases of Sickness, a few drops put into a saucer, and put into the room will, being an etheric essence, evaporate, and fill the room with the purifying vapor. . Are you obliged to Travel! A few drops occasionally rubbed on tho body, will protect against any contagion you may be exposed to, in coming direct with sick persons, or in sleeping in the same room witb, or in beds occupied previously by sick persons. All HotelJeeepers will do well to sprinkle ', from time to tiino in drawers, where linen is usually kept, a few drops of the pure essential essence. It produces no spots whatever, as every particle of it evaporates, and nothing remains. In short, wTiere a disinfectant is needed, the pure esEentiul ecualjpti essence ought to be tho one you have recourse to, and no family ought to be without it. For all Wounds, Cuts, Burns, Scoldings, Ulcers, and Cancerous Wounds, a piece of linen wrapped round the suffering part, and moistened with a few drops of the eucalypti essence, will stop all pain, and effect a speedy cure. In cases where a piece of linen cannot bo applied, the moistening of the suffering part with the pure essence will do as w«ll. In Case of Colds moisten the nostrils with a few drops and inhale the vapour, and you will feel the immediate relief, and entire riddance of the heat. In all cases where the Lungs may be Affected, the above-mentioned process, continually repeated, will be the best that can be advised. In cases of Rheumatism, a mixture of one part of tho pure essential eucalypti essence with three pans of spirits of wine, well rubbed in the suffering part, bas acted better than any other remedy. In all cases of Inflammation, the essence may be applied to tho part affected. In severe cases of Toothacho of rheumatic origin, tho pure essence may be applied on the external part of the face. In cases of Inflammation of the Eyes, apply the pure essence to (he outside of the eyelids. Headache and Rheumatic Pains in tho Head are positively cured and removed by rubbing the essence on tho effected parts. For many Cases, of Severe Bruises the essence has proved the best remedy.
