Medical our correspondent—that it would not dissolve in spirits of wine ; rather it is unsoluble, and heavier than spirits of wino, and settles at the bottom. Wo tried in the same way our manufacture, and the reoeived information was likewise confirmed ; it dissolved in spirits of wine. The manufacture of Mr Bosisto does not in consequence, answer to the requirements of an etheric oil, and he may know all the virtues of the eucalypti ever so well, and treat upon it in scientific writings, but during fifteen years he did not bring before the public those etheric evaporating particles to which are attributable all the properties so much praised by Mr Bosisto. Our manufacture alone and for the first time answers these requirements. —We are respectfully yours, SANDER & Sons. Sandhurst, 31st July." As a further elucidation of the matter, Mr Bosisto wrote 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 Sons, 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 seek to deteriorate from, the quality of the • new industry.' ' My object has ever been to assist in developing the resources of our indigenous vegetation. My contention ie, first, that being the investigator of every species of the eucalypti ,iQ Victoria, both as to their chemical and physical characters, the oil in question is not' new," and, second, that the report forwarded from the German correspondent is a mere repetition of my original investigations reported long since to the various scientific societies and universal exhibitions; With regard to the Bolubility of the oil in spirit, it is well known that volatile oils, whether from the^gucalypti or any other vegetation, are soluble in given quantities of alcohol. The whole family of the eucalypti contains a volatile oil, a volatile acid, and a volatile oleo resin, and certain tannate principles ; when, for certain medicinal purposes, "these 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, .1 am, yours, &c, JoseiH' Bosisto. 2nd August." ; : I . To the above Messrs Sander and Son replied as follows in the game paper of the 7th of? August, ,1876. "Sir—You will kindly allow us.-to give the following short explana--tion, for the better understanding of the public^'ill answer to Mr Bosisto's letter in youfa 1 of the sth instant. : Mr Bosisto says— " The:oil in question is not newi" We have ways indicated by science, by means of which investigations of any kind are made, and meat likely in the same" way as he and we did. Many .more, in possession' of chemical knowledge,'may have undertaken preparations of ■ pure volatile .oil .eucalypti. If^we take such 'essays in view the pure essenti»l:oil eucalypti is not new. New, however, it is in the respect that it is not yet known as a commercialarticle.;: The preparation, in a large style, is very sloV and tiresome, and involves in consequence, through loss of time, considerable expense, leading to production of a cheap subatitute, consisting chiefly of .eleoreein and tannic particles, a produce that is Jn quality, far inferior to the pure volatile .oil.—s?s are, your, etc., Sakdeb & Sons, Sandhurst, sth August, 1876." £ -K'l, \ ITS PRESENT POSITION. \ " Thus far the correspondence shows the .nature and character of Eucalyptus Oil, and the Bteps 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 as 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 -agentSj-Mesßrs Hoclzle and Chelius, of Frank* furt, with instructions to that firm to bring it under the notice of—The Emperor of Germany, the King of Bavaria, the Emperor of Austria, the King ofi \ Saxony,' the King of' Wurtemburg, and Prince Bismarck. j _... Through these sovereigns and potentates, the Australian Extxact,-will; rfind its way before most of the principal European scien r tific bodies. In addition to this the Eucalyptus essence of Messrs Sander and Sons will be brought under the notice of the South Australian .faculty through the columns of the German paper published in that Colony. In;this Colony: it has. been-placed before the authorities of the" Melbourne Hospital, Ballarat Hospital/ Geeldng Hospital, Castlemaine Hospital, KyiietoQ Hoßpital, and Sandhurst ■Hospital--nn )0 ■■'•-■^■' A ! In addition to these means of spreading a knowledge of this excellent article to the public at large/the. Pfeis,las will be shown below, has lent its valuable aid to the furtherance of the object sought. ~' {, ; - ,i< ,-., its'dHARACTEE; j The oil may be almoet Bummed up as to its character when it is described aB etheric and volatile. It is a condensation of those exhalations of the gum leaves which permeate our Austral atmosphere, and make it one of the most health-sustaining "charaotor in the universe. The oil, being a principle of itself, cannot in the*strict sense be analysed, because it is incapable of sub-division. The only proof of its being a pure etheric essence is its solubility in spirits of wine. But medical authorities who have chemically examined the components of the gum, and of this oil, the vital particles of .the human blood and that increases the health-giving functions of the common air. - One of the beet features in its character is that it absolutely requires no care in its "use, but may be rubbed on external sores, taken internally, exposed to the common atmosphere until it is absorbed|6r poured on fine linen or the most delicatelytinted paper, without leaving so much as abstain behind, "inshort, while it is in so many cases extremely braeficial in its use, it is absolutely innocuous in all. . , /, {.. ITS CLAIM AS A CURATIVE. ;{ i It has now become the faßhion 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 Sons'do nothing of the sort. They have c6nfidenc"e:;tbat their oil possesses many virtues; but the full extent of these they do not know yefc. 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 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 oil poured in 'the palm of the hand, and rubbed in, in order to liberate .the^vapors, or sprinkled over the clothes.
