Medical our correspondent—that it would nob di<jsolvo in spirits of wine ; rather it is unsoluble, and heavier than spirits of wino, and settles at the bottom. We tried in the same way our manufacture, and the received information was likewise confirmed ; it dissolved in spirits of wine. The manufacture; of Mr Bosiato 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 etherio evaporating particles to which are attributable all the properties bo rnuoh praised by? Mr fßosistp.; Our manufacture alone and for the'first time answers these requirements. —We are respectfully yours, Sandee & SoNS. Sandhurst, 31stJuly." As a further elucidation of the matter, Mr Bosißtowrota again to the samev paper,,and his letter wae'published as follows on the-sth August, 1876 :—" Sir—Witli 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 aay that L desire in no spirit of/rivalry■■to write-disparagingly of, or to seek to deteriorate from, the quality ofthe?new industry. 1 My object has,ever been tb assist in developing the* resources of our indigenous vegetation. My contention, is, first, that being the investigator of every species of the eucalypti in Victoria, both as to their chemical and physical the oil in ques£ion4rnofr' new," arid,-second j that the report forwarded from the German correspondent is a mere repetition of'my original^ investigations reported long since to the various scientific societies aDd universal-exhi-bitions. With regard to the solubility of the oil in spirit, it is well known that volatile, oils, whether from the or any other vegetation, are soluble in given quantities of alcohol. /The whole 1! family Of .the efucilyptis 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, I am, yours,&e.y Joseph Bosisto. 2nd, August." , To the above Messrs' Sander and Son replied as follows in the same paper of "the 7th of August, 1876. ; ywill .kindly allow us tb: give the following short explanation, for the better understanding of the public, in answer to Mr Bosieto's letter in yours of. the sth instant., Mrßpsisto says-f " The oil in question is nbt'riw^", We have ways indicated by, science^'by means of which investigations of any kind are made, and most likely in^the same* way'as' he and-we;didi Many more, in possession of chemical knowi ledge,'may Have undertaken preparations of pure volatile oil eucalypti. If we taks such essays in view the pure essential oil eucalypti is not new. New, however, it is in the respect that it is not known as a commercial article. The preparation, in a large style, is very slow and tiresome, ■ and in consequence, through loss of time, considerable expense, leading to production of a cheap sub» etitute, consisting chiefly 0/ eleo ream and tannie particles/a prbcluci-, that is in quality, far inferior to the pure volatile oil. —We are; your, etc., Sjokdee & Sons, Sandhurst, stli August, 1876." . ■)* .7 \

ITS CHARACTER. \ The oil may be almost gummed up as to its character when it is described as etheric and volatile. It is a condensation of those exbala-! tions of the gum leaves which permeate (ourj Austral atmosphere, and make it one of the most health-sustaining character''iritheuni-! Terse. The oil, being a principle of itself,; cannot in the strict sense be analysed, because' it is incapable ) of sub-divisioa. The onjyr proof of its being a pure etheric essence is its solubility in spirits of wine. But medical; authorities 'who hare 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-giving functions of the common air. One of the best 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, or poured on fine linen or! the most delicstely tinted paper,* without; leaving so much asa,stain behind. In short,; whileiit, is in so jnmy >„ cases. extreinelj bene-j ficial in its use, it is absolutely innocuous ins all. ;r "l; ;./;n-. : „„: ■,;'.; ,'j , t ir ■ ! ?■;'-.
