Because it is the result of f uli experience, aud of n, special and careful process of manufacture. It is always safe, reliable and effective, and the dangers of irresponsible preparations which are now palmed off as Extract are avoided. A death was recently reported from the use of one of these concoctions and in an action at law a witness testified that ho suffered the most cruel irritation from the application to an wl&-r of another, which was sold as "Just as good as SANDER'S EXTRACT." Therefore, beware of snob deception. Remember than in medicine a di'op that cures is bette: than a tablespoon that kills, and insist upon the preparation which was proved by exports at tho Supreme Court of Victoria, and by numerous authorities during the last 35 years, to be a preparation of genui'no merit, viz: THE GENUINE SANDER AND SONS PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, j Prompt Delivery.
