' ? ITS PRESENT 1 POSITION.: ;. i .. -Thus. \ far the correspondence Shows the nature and character of Eucalyptus Oil, and tho, .steps ,by which. it .Jias 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 havo forwarded samples to all tho 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, Meßsrs Sander^^ and Sotie," having received such a flattering testimonial frem German scientists, despatched a parcel of their essence to their agents, Messrs Hoclzle and Chelius, of Frankfurt, with instructions to that firm to bring:it under the notice of—The Emperor of Ger-, inalny/, the'King'of Bavaria,! Jth^, JEinperor of Austria, the King of Saxony, the King of Wurtemburg, and Prince Bismarck. •"'■ Through these sovereigns and potentates, the" Australian Extract will find its way before most of the principal European scientific 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 (Jorman paper publishjjdj in; that Colony. In this Colony it has been placed before the authorities of the Melbourne Hospital, Ballarat Hospital, Geelong Hospital, Castlemaine Hospital, Kynetdn Hospital; 'and Sandhurst Hospital. ". 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. ; , ; ■ I \(,

ITS CHARACTER. The oil may be almost summed up as to its character when it is described as ctheric and volatile. It is a condensation of those exhalations of the gum leaves which pormeate our Austral atmpsphorej'and make it one of the most health-sustaining character in the universe. The oil, being a principle of itfselt, cannot in the strict sense bo analysed, because it is incapable of cub-division. The only proof; of,its;being ; ai>pure fetheric ;essence is its solubility in spirits 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 vital particles of the human blood arid that increases, the health-giving functions bf the common air. ' | One of the best features in its character isthat 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 poiirei 6n fine linen or the most delicßtely, tinted, paper, without leaving so mucbj ara stain behind. In short, while it is in so many cases extremely beneficial in its use; it is absolutely innocufrui in all.

ITS CLAIM C AS A CURATIVE. ; It has now become the fashion with the in* ventorß or discoverers of remedial agents to, claimi something little 1 short-of infallibility and universality of cure for their respective" agents. Messrs Sander and Sons do nothing of the sort. They have confidence that their oil possesses many virtues; but the full extent of these they do not know yet. They are now collecting data, and they are most careful and searching in performing this. It ..is. quite sure- rthen,, that their 3 eucalypti oil can fairly assert itself to be a" grand panacea for many, of the ilia 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 An the palm of the hand, and rubbed in, in order to liberate the vapors, or sprinkled over the clothes. The perfume will be noticed for ] a great length of time. r For phildren Attending Schools, the same j 'mode niay brf adopted.
