The Australian anti-fever tree—that ia the blue gum, or eucalyptus globuhts—hna now spread its fame throughout the world, but there ore many who do not properly estimate ita splendid qualities. It has been estimated that the Australian blue gumi>, which stud the face of the colony, contain about five hundred million gallons of pure volatile oil, tbat is the mortal foe of fever and ague. Every day in the year ihe forests of the colony are giving out; and exhaling, in the form of vapor, an aromatic fragrance to our breezt-3, and a health-giving essence toourpeoplp. This fact is now recognised by all the ecienlists in the world. ITS CLAIM AS A CUBATIVE. It has now become the fashion with the in> venters or discoverers of remedial agents to ohvm 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 ; but the full extent of these they do not know yet. They are now collecting data, ond 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 ilia that flesh is heir to. In Scarlet, Typhoid, or any case of Fever, noihing will protect better against contagion than n few drops of the essence poured in the pnlm of the hand, and rubbed in, in order to liberate the vapors, or sprinkled over the clothes. The perfume will bo 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 tho whole constitution, correcting indigestion, and creating a healthy appetite. For Children Attending Schools, the same mode may bo ac'opted. In Cases of Subnets, a few drops put into a saucer, and put into tho 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 ihe Bamo room with, or in beds occupied previously by eick persous. 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, ns every particle of it evaporates, asd 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, Scaldings, Ulcers, and Cancerous Wounds, & 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 well. In Cuse 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 he Affected, the above-mentioned process, continually repeated, will bo tho best that can be advised. ; Incasesofßlieumatism, 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 remidy. ; In all cases of Inflammation, the essence may be applied to the part affected. In severe cases of TootJiache of rheumatic origin, the pure essence may be applied on the external part of the face. In cases of Inflammation of the JEyes, apply r the pure essence to the outside of the tyelids. } Headache and Rheumatic JPains in the Head are positively cured and removed by rubbing ; the essence on the «ffepfed parts. For many Cases of Severe JSruises the essence has proved the best remedy. <§|*No other essence is genuine except; that in the vials bearing on the labels our ' signature and trade mark.
