Medical our correspondent—that it would not dissolve in spirits of wine ; rather it is unsoluble, and heavier than spirits of wine, and settles at the bottom. Wo tried in the same way our manufacture, and the received information was likewise confirmed ; it dissolved in spirits of wine. The manufacture of Mr Bosisto doea 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 elberic evaporating particles to which are attributable all the properties co much praised by Mr BosisLo. Our manufacture alone and for the first time answers these requirements. —;We are respectfully yours, Sa»deb & 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 6th August, 1876 :—]' Sir—With reference to the reply by Messrs Sander and Sons, contained in yours of'the let instant, to'mine of the 31st ult., I deem it but r|ght;to say/tb>t I desire i 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 develpping the resources of bur ;iridigehbus vegetation.! My contention \ is, first, that being the :investigatqr of every; species of the eucalypfci. in Victoria, both as (b their chemical md physical characters, the oil in question in not' new," and, second, that i "tfie report forwarded from the German cor-; respondent is a^mere repetition of.my original investigations reported long since to tne! various scientific societies and universal exhi- i bitibris.-HWitn'Liregard MI the (Solubility ot\ the oil itflspifit, it is well known that volatile? oHsi.whether; froDi the eucalypti or any other, vegetation; are soluble in given quantities of j alcohol.

'BoSiSTO.' 2n^d August." f ! ht \ To the above Messrs Sander' and Son replied as follows in the same paper, of the 7th offAugust,;JLß76. "Sir—Yo<wiU kindly: allow us to give the following short explanation, for the better understanding of the! public, in aniwer to Mr Bosistb's letter in| yours of the sth:instant.^.: Mr Bosisto says—| " The oil in question is not new." We have; ways indicated by science^ by means, of which' investigations of any kind are made, and meet likely m the same way as he and we did.; /Many more, in possession: of chemical know-: ledge, may have undertaken preparations of pure yplatile, oiljCjUcalypti., If we |ake suchj essays in view^the'pure 'essential oiteucalypti: is not new.

'Jz'KKt W sMOyf^Ts'^BESE'NT^POSITION. j ~ Thus far the correspondence shows the; nature, and character.of Eucalyptus Oil, and ;the steps i hj< whichf it has arrived of the' purity of Sander and Sons manufacture. In! order, that ■th f eir> oil, should be /tested by the most approved ana 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 thej Colony on the 20th September, 1876, Messrs Sander and Sons; having received such a -flattering testimonial from German scientists, "deßpatcbfd.a.parceL.ofctheir essence to their agents, Messrs Hoclzle and Cbelius, of Frankfurt, 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 of;Saxony,!;the King of Wurteinburg, and Prince Bismarck. , Through these sovereigns and potentates, the Australian' Extract 'will find its way before most of the principal European scien-i tific bodies. In addition to this, the Eucalyptus essence of Messrs Sander and Sons will be brought' under the notice of the South 1 .Australian .faculty through the;-columns of the* German paper published in- that Colony.' Itt this Colony "it has been placed before the: authbrities of the Melbourne Hospital, Ballarat Hospital, Geelong Hospital, Castlemaine Hospital, Ky neton Hospital, and Sandhurst 'Hospital.'/' '-yi'.'i. f<> 'i'eZj'i. j In addition to these means of spreading a knowledge of this excellent article to the public at large, the. Press, as' will be shown below, has lent its valuable aid .to the furtherance of the object sought. ITS CHARACTER. j The oil may, be almost summed up as to its character wben it,is described as 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 liealtb-iuetaining character in the unif verse. The oil, being a principle of itself, cannot in tbe 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 autborities who have chemically examined the components of tbe gum, and of this oil, df blare tbat it contains much that etimulates the vital particles of the human blood and that increases the health-giving function* of the common air. j One of the best features in its character is that it absolutely requires no care in dtsvuse, but may be rubbed on external sores, taken internally, exposed to the common* atmosphere until it is absorbed^ or poured on fine linen or the most delicately tinted paper, without leaving so much as a stain behind. : In short, while it "is in co many cases extremely beneficial iv it s use, it is abselutely innocuous in all. .-,._.. , . , ! ITS CLAIM AS A CURATIVE,,,, It has now become the fashion with the inventora or digcoverers of remedial agents to claim' something little short of infallibility and uniyereality of; cure .for, their respective agents. Messrs Sander and Sens do nothing of the sort. J They! have confidence tbat their oil possesses many. virtues j but. the full extent of these they do not Know, jet. They are now collecting data, and; they, are most careful and searching in performing this. ' It is quite sure 7 ,thenj /that.,(their eucalypti oil cati fairly assert itself to be a grand; panacea for many of the ills that flesh ia heir tO.
