Wo tried in tho sumo way our manufacture, and the received information ■was likewise confirmed ; it dissolved in Bpiritß of rrine. The manufacture of Mr Bosisto does not in consequence, nnswer to the requirements of an ethane, .oil, .and .he may know all the virtues of tlie 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 lo which ore attributable all the properties bo much praised by Mr Bosisto.

As a further .elucidation;of' the matter, Mr Bosisto wrote again 'io% the 'same Jpaper, and his letter was published as follows on the 6th August, 1876 :—" Sir—With reference to the reply by Messrs Sander ond Sons, contained j in yours of the lstinstant, tomine of the 31st;! ult., I deem it but*right to' say that T desire* in no^spirit of rivalry to write disparagingly of, t>| to seetito deteriorate/from, inequality of the ' new industry.'' My object^ has ever been to assist in developing the resources s ofj our indigenous vegetation. My. contention is, first, that being the investigator of every species of tb<S eucalypti Hn Yictoria,j<both as to their chemical arid physical characters, the oil in question is not 'new," and^secqndjthal the 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 exhibitions. With regard to the solubility of the oil in spirit, it is well known'that volatile oilß, whether fron;^ the eucalypti or any other vegetation, are soluble''ii given 1 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 'S6nr^ I\Vißßin"g'~'succees v*to''^every'"''indi^' genous industry, I. am, yours, &c, Joseph Bosisto. ..2nd .August."" To the above Messrs Sander and Son replied as; follows in the eame-paper of the 7th of August, 1876. "Sir—You? will kindly/ allow us to give the iollo.wing short explanation, for the better understanding of the public;jin^janswer to ;Mr-- Bosistp'S;; letter in yours of the Stri instant. Mr Bosisto'says-— "The oil in-question is not new;" ?We have way b indicated,,by science,, by, mean? of .which investigations of any kind are made, and most likely m 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 ]bhe pure essential oil eucalypti is riot newi New, however, it is in the respect that it is not yet known as a commercial article. The preparation, in a large '• style, is Very ; slow and tiresome, and involves in con-, sequence^ through loss' of timej considerable expense, leading to production of a cheap substitute, consisting chiefly of elco' resin and tarinic particles, a product; that is in quality, far inferior to the pure volatile oil.—We are, your, etcj'SAKiiEß & SONS/ Sandhurst/ stu August, 1876." ..

ITS CHARACTER. The oil may be almost Bummed Up as to its character when it is described as etheric and volatile.! It is a condensation of. thosejexhalationsof the gum, leaves which pormeate our Austral atmosphere, arid make it one of the I most health-eustaining character in 'the uni-I verse.!. ,The oil,; being a principle of iteelt, cannot in the strict sense be analysed, because it is incapable; of.-Bub-diyJßio^.,<jThe only I proof of its being a pure etheric essence is its Bolubili^y-in^piritji^of/wine. But medical authorities who have chemically examined 'the components of the. gum, and of this oil, declare that it contains much that stimulates the .yijtal, particles- «of, .thp ., hnma^ blood .and that^increases the heaith-giving: functions of the"cbmmori'air.;^!' •"' y--.^^'T^rSb^-i.^ <-'' -^^: One of the beßt features in its character is that it absolutely requires no care in its use, but may be rubbed'ori -external sores, taken internally, exposed to the common atmosphere until it is absorbed, or poured on fine linen or iho most delicßtely tinted paper, without leaving so much as a stain behind. In short, while /it-is;iri' so; rriany: casts' jext^einjelyjberieficiul in its use, it is absolutely innocuous in ,all. " " 1 . ITS CLAIM AS A CURATIVE. : It has now become the fashion with tho invoritors' or discoverers of remedial .agents to claim something little .short of infallibility and universality of cure for their respective agentB >Jt )MepsrßjSander and Sons do, nothing of the eortr They have coriSderice that their oil* poßßeißesli many; yirjtuesi \but |tjle ;ful|J extent of 'th'eVe'fhey do riot 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 ills that flesh is heir to. In Scarlet\< Typhoid* • or; any< case, o/* Fever, nothing will protect better against contagion than a few drops 1 of the oil poured in the palm of the hand,cand;rubbed;in, in order to 1 liberate the vapors, or sprinkled over the clothes. The perfume will be noticed for a great length of time. ' For Ohildrori MUn4inff Schools, the same mode may be-adopted. In Cases of Sickness, a few dropß put into a saucer, and put into the room will, being an otheric oil, evaporate, and fill the room with the purifying vapor. Arc you obliged to Travel! A few drops occasionally rubbed on the body, will protect against any contagion yoii may beexpoßudto, in coming in direct contact with sick persons,
