Medical our correspondent—tliat it would not dissolve in spirits of wine ; rather it is uneoluble, und heavier than spirits of wine, and nettles at the bottom. We tried in the same wiiy our manufacture, and? the received information wbs likewise confirmed ; it dissolved inspirits of wine. The manufacture of Mr Voaulo does not in consequence, janßWer to the iequirements of an etheric oil, and he mny know all the virtue* of the eucalypti ever so well, and treat upttn it in scientific wntmgß, but during fifteen years he did not bring before the public tuoEe elheric evaporating particles to which are attributable all the properties to much praised by Mr TObmlo. Our manufacture alone and for the first time answers these requirements.—We are respectfully yours, SAHDBE & SoNB. Sandhurst, 31st July." „ , „ As a further elucidation of the matter, Mr Boeisto wrot# again to the same paper, and his letter was published as follows on the sth August. 1876 :—"' Sir—With reference to the reply by Messrs Sander and Sbns,- contained in yours of the Ist instant, to mine of the 31st ult., I deem it but right to say that I desire in no spirit of rivalry to write disparagingly of, or to sei-.k to deteriorate from, ibe quality of the 'new industry.' My object has ever been to assUt in developing the resources of our indigenous vegetation. My contention is, first, ti«^ being t,he investigator of every, species of the eucalypti iri Victoria, both as to their chfemiifcl aiAl physical characters, the oil in quedlion is not 'new," and, second, that the report forwarded from the German correspondent is a mere repetition of my original iuvcßtigationß reported long since to tne various scientific societies and universal exbK bitiona. With regard to the solubility; of. the oil ie spirit, it is well known that volatile oils, whether fron. the eucalypti or any other vegetation, are soluble in given quantities of alcohol. Thewliole family of the tutaljpli contains a volatile oil, a volatile acid,an(ia volatile oleo resin, and certain tannate principles j when, for certain medicinal purposes, tbese are in combination, the oil is not entirely soluble in spirit. Such is the oil operated upon (coming from myself) by Messrs Sander and Son. Wishing success to every indigenous industry, T am, yours, &c, Joseph Bosisto. 2nd August." To;the above Meßsi-s Sander and Son replied as'folloWs in the samtj paper of the 7th of August, 1876. "Sir—You will kindly allow us to give Ihe following short explanation, for the belter understanding of the public, in answer to Mr Bosistb's letter in yours of the sth instant. Mr Bosisto cays— ■ " Th« Oil in question is not new." We have ways indicated by science, by means of which investigations ot any kind are made, and meet lively in the same way, as he and we did., Many nidre, in posßeesidn ol chemicial knowledge, may have undertaken preparations of pure volatile oil eucalypti. It we take such essay« in view the pure eeseniisl oil eucalypti is not new. New, howef er, it is in the reaped that it is not yet known us a commercial article.. The preparation, in a large style, is very sow and tiresome, and involves in consequence, through loss of time,'considerable expense, leading to production of a cheap substitute, consisting chiefly of eleo resin and tannie particles, a produor, that is in quality, far interior to the pure volatile oil.—We are, your, etc., Bakdeb & Sons, Saudhurst, stu August,lß76." ITS: PRESENT POSITION. Thus far the Correspondence shows the nature and character of Eucalyptus Oil, and the steps by which it has arrived of the purity of Sander and Sons manufacture. In order that their oil should be tested by the most approved and rigorous scrutiny, Sander and Sons have forwarded samples to all the principal medical authorities of the Colonies, as well aa to scientific bodies in Europe. By the steamer Somersetshire, which left the Colony, on the 20lh September, 1876, Messrs Sander and Sons, having received such a flattering-testimonial from German scientists, despatched a parcel, of their essence to their 'agents, Messrs iloclzle and Cbehus, of Frankfurt, wilh^ißstructious to that firm to bring it under thei! notice of-r^Tbe Emperor of Germany, the. King of Bavaria, the Ecaperor of Außtria, the King of Baxbny, the King of Wurteinburg, and Princeßismarck. ' Through'Jheseeovereigns and potentates, the Australian? Extract will find its way" before most of the principal European scientific bodies. • In addition to this the Eucalyptus; essence of Messrs Sander and Sons will be brought under the notice of the boulu Australian" faculty through-the columns of the German paper published .iv that Colony. In this Colony it lias been placed before the authorities ot the Melbourne Hospital, Ballarat Hospital, Geeloug Hospital, Custlemaine Hospital, Kyneton Hospital, aud'Sandhurst Hospital. ■'■■■ - . a Iv addition to tbese means of spreading a knowledge of, this excellent j article to _-. tne publip t a|. la^rge, tke Pjrees, >s will be shown below, has lent its valuable aid to the furtherance of the object sought. ITS CHARACTER. The oil may be almobt summed up as to its character When it is described as etheric and volatile. It is.a condensation of those exhalations of the glim leaves which permeate pur Austral atmosphere, and make it one of the uipst iiealtb-sustainiiig character in the universe. "■; The oil, being a principle of iteell, cannot in the strict cense be analysed, because it is .incapable of sub-divisioa. , The ouly proof of its being a pure elheric essence is its solubility in spirits of wine. But medical author hies who have chemically examined the components of the gum, and of this oil, declare that it contains much that stimulates the vital particles of the human blood and that' increases the health-giviDg functions of the common air. ; One of the best features in its character is that it absolutely requires no care in it's fuse, but mny be rubbed on external sores, taken internally, exposed to the common atmosph' ■; until it is absorbed, or poured on fine linen or the most delicPteiy. tinted paper, without leaving so much as a stain behind. In short, while it is in co many cases extremely beneficial iv its use, it is absolutely innocuous in all. . , : ITS CLAIM AS A CURATIVE. It has now become the fashion 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 do nothing of the sort. They have confidence that their oil 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 oil can fairly assert itself to be a grand panacea for many of the^lls that fleßh is heir t0.:,,: .-. , ..; :%.' [. ... { ' - In Scarlet, Typhoid, or any'ca*e of Fever, nothing will protect better against contagion than a few drops of the oil 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 lengl h of time. \ For Children Attending Schools, the same mode may be adopted. ' In Cases of Sickness, a few drops put into a caucer, and put into the room will, being an etheric oil, 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 contugion you may be exposed to, in coming in direct contact with sick persons,
