Medical our correspondent;—that it would not dissolve in spirits of wine ; rather it ia unßolublo, and heavier than spirits- of wine, and Bettleß.afc the bottom^ Wo tried in the same way our manufacture, and the received information wub likewise confirmed 5 it dissolved in spirits of wine. The manufacture of Mr Boeisto does not in 'consequence, answer to the requirements of an etheric oil, and ho may know all the virtues of the eucalypti ever so well, and treat upon it in scientific writings', but during fifteen yearß he did not brin£ beftore the, public.jthoae, etheric,evaporating particles! to which a(p attributable all> the properties bo much praised by Mr Bosisto. Our manufacture alone and for the first time answers these requirements.—We are respectfully yours, Sandeb & Sons. Sandhurst, 31st July." - As a further elucidation of the matter, Mr Bosisto wrote again; to the earner,paper, and his' letter was'publianed as-follows dn the sth August, 1876:—" Sir—With reference to the reply by Messrs Sander and Sonß, contained in yours of the Ist instant, to mine of the 31at u1t.,"1 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. 1 My object has ever been to 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 theii; chemical and physical characters, the oil lu'quepfiion; is not 'new," and, second, that tbe'report ifoiwarded from the German correspondent is a mere repetition of my originul investigations reported long since to tfle various scientific societies and universal exhibitions. With regard to the solubility of the oil in spirit, it is well known that volatile oils, whetherfrbiri :tbe eucalypti or any other vegetation,;ate' soluble in given quantities of alcohol. The whole family of the eucalypti contains a volatile oil, a volatile acid, andja volatile oleo resin, and certain tannate principles } when, for certain medicinal purpose's, 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, &c, JoSBPk f BosiBTO.: 2nd August." !^ ; To tbe above Messrs Sander and Son replied as followß in the same paper: of the 7th of August, 1876.
