The Gum Leaf Cure. EUCALYPTI ESSENCE. ! i LET the Public take notice of a few facts put forward for their informal ion in tbis | intimation. They may be worth their study, j and.repay perusal in enlightening them upon a subjectrof practical utility. THE HISTORY OF THE ESSENCE'S DISCOVERY. The Australian anti-fever tree —that is the blue gum, or eucalyptus glohulus —has bow spread its fame throughout the world,-hut there are n?any who do not properly estimate its splendid qualities. It has been.estimated that the Australian blue giime, which stud the face of the colony, contain- about five hundred million gallons of pure volatile oil, that is the mortal foe of fever and ague. Every day in the year the forests of the colony are i giving out and exhaling, in the form of vapor,. I an aromatic fragrance to our breezes, and a health-giving 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 fashion with the in* ventors or discoverers of remedial agents to claim something little short of infallibility and'uniyersalifcy of cure for their respective agents. Messrs Sander aud Sena didnothing of the sort. They have confidence that their essence possesses many virtues} but the full I extent of these they do not know yet. They are now collecting data, and they are mast careful and searching in performing this. It is quite sure then, that their eucalypti I eßßence can fairly assert itself to be a grand panacea for many of the ills that flesh is heir to. In Scarlet, Typhoid, or any cote 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. j [ Inwardly used, take three or four drops in I 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 esjence, 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 tick persons. All Hotellceepers 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, and 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 speed? cure. In cases where a piece of linen cannot be applied, the moistening of the suffering part with tho 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 riddunee of the heat. In all cases tchere the. Lttngs may he Affected, the above-mentioned process, continually repeated, will be the best that can be advised. ' In cases of Rheumatism, a mixture ot 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 part affected. In severe cases of Toothache .of rheumatic origin, the pure eesence; may be applied on the external part of the face. In cases of Inflammation of the F^yes, apply the pure essence to the outside of the eyelids. Headache and Rheumatic Pains in the Head are peßitively cured and removed by rubbing the esience on the effected parts. For many Cases of Severe Bruises the essence has proved the best remedy. (gtTNo other essence is genuine except thut in the vials bearing on the labels our eiguature and trude mark. - To be had at tLe manufactory, SAWDER AND SONS, Bridge street, Sandhurst, Victoria. - Sold 4a Viuls only at 1b 6d and 2s 6d each.
