The Gum Leaf Cure.

EUCALYPTI ESSENCE.

LET the Public take notice of a few facts put forward for their information in this intimation. They may bo worth their study, and repay perusal in enlightening them upon a subject of practical utility. THE HISTORY OF THE ESSENCE'S DISCOVERY. The Australian anti-fever tree —thnt is the 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 thnt the Australian blue gums, which stud tho face of the colony, contain about fire hundred million gallons of pure volatile oil, that is tho mortal foe of fever and ague. Every day in the year the forests of the colony are giving out and exhaling, in the form of vapor, an aromatic fragrance to our breezej, aud a beallh-giring essence to our people. This fact ,is now recognised by all the scientists in the world. ITS CLAIM AS A CURATIVE. It has now become the ftißhion with the inventors or discoverers of remedial agents -to claim something little short of infallibility and universality of cure for their respective agents. Messrs Sander and Sens did nothing of the sort. They have confidence that their essence possesses many virtues 5 but the full extent of these they do not know yet. They are low 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 against contagion than 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 clothes. The perfume will be noticed for a great length of time. Inwardly used, take three or four drops in half a tumbler of water. The essence effects a most surprising change of the whole const it ut ion, 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 the body, will protect against any contagion you may be exposed to, in coming direct with sick persons, or in sleeping in the same room with, or in beds occupied previously by sick persons. All SotelJceepers will do well to sprinkle from time to time 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, ai:d nothing remains. In short, where a disinfectant is needed, the pure essential ecualypti essence ought to be the 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 be applied, the moistening of the suffering part with the pure essence will do as well. 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, con-, tin ually repeated, will be the best that can be advised.

In cases of Rheumatism, a mixture of one part of the pure essential eucalypti essence with three parts of spirits of wine, well rubbed in the suffering part, has acted better than any other remedy.

In all cases of Inflammation, the essence may be applied to the park affected.

In severe cases of Toothache of rheumatic origin, the pure essence may be applied on the external part of the face.

In cases of Inflammation of theJSyes, apply the pure essence to the outride of the eyelids; Headache and RJieumatic Pains iv tho Head are positively cured and removed by rubbing the essence on the effected parts. For many Cases of Severe Bruises the essence has proved the best remedy. JSsTNo other essence is genuine except that in the vials bearing on the labels our , signature and trade mark.
