' " \ YOU SHOULD BEAR IN MIND. That by using the commercial eucalyptus oil which is now bought up at 6d per lb weight and bottled, and on account of the large profit, push!ed,' you are exposing yourself to all the dangers to which the use oftur-' pontine will expose you—irritation of kidneys, intestinal trach, and nnucous membranes. Bv insisting on Ca GENUINE SENDER EUCALYPH EXTRACT ; you not only avoid these pitfalls, but you have a stimulating, safe and effective medicament, the result of a special and careful manufacture. A trial will at once convince. Quality in, small dose distinguishes it from the bulky and dangerous products.
