Medical The Gum Leaf Cure. EUCALYPTI ESSENCE. LET the Public tnko notice of a few facts put forward for their information in this' intimation. They may bo worth their study, and repay porusal in enlightening them upon a subject of practical utility. '■ THE HISTORY OF THE ESSENCE'S DISCOVERY. [ The Australian anti-fever tree—that is the , blue gum, or eucalyptus globulins —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 gutnc, which stud the face of the colony, contain about five hundred million gallons of pure volatile oil, that is the niortnl foe of fever and ague. Every > day in the year the forestß of the colony are ' giving out and exhaling, in the form of vapor, > an aromatic fragrance to our' brrezns, and a > health-giving essence to our people. This fact i is now recognised by all the scientists in the I world. [ ITS CLAIM AS A CURATIVE. [ -It has now become the fashion with the in* ventors or discoverers of remedial agents to i claim something little short of infallibility , and universality of cure for their respective l agents. Messrs Sander and Sens did nothing > of the sort. They have confidence tbat their | essence possesses many virtues ; but the full . extent of these they do not know yet. They . are now collecting dala, and they are m#st » "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 . tban a few drops of the essence poured in the palm of the hand, nnd rubbed in, in order to liberate the vapors, or sprinkled over the 1 , clothes. 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 tho whole constitution, correcting indigestion, and creating a healthy appetite. ' ' \ For Children Attending Schools, the same mode may bo adopted. ) In Cases of Sickness, a few drops put into ■ Baucer, and put into the room will, being an etheric essence, evaporate, and fill the Iroom 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 toy in coming direct with sick persons, or in sleeping in the same room with, or in beds occupied previously by sick persons. All HotelJceepers 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, aud nothing remains. / In short, where a disinfectant is needed, the pure essential ecualypti essence ought to be the ono you have recourse to, and no family ought to be without it. .. For all. Wounds, Cuts, Burns, Scoldings, Ulcers, and Cancerous Woivnds, a piece of linen wrapped round the Buffering part, and moistened with a few drops of the eucalypti essence, will stop all pain, and effect a speedy cure. In eases 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 riddanco of the heat; In all cases where the Lungs may he Affected, the above-mentioned process, continually repeated, will be the best that can be advised. In cases of Miieumatism, 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 part 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 tlie Eyes, apply the pure essence to the outside of the eyelids. Headache and Rheumatic Pains in the Head are pesitively cured and removed by rubbing the essence on the effected parts. For many Cases of Severe Bruises the > essence has proved the best remedy.
