Remember, you cannot expect the good effects from any sort of eucalyptus. SANDER'S EXTRACT CURES because, it contains, ethereal and antiseptic substances not contained in other Eucalyptus products. These latter, made by persons ignorant in chemistry, and provided with fancy names and labels by .trading concern's who do not know what they -contain, have caused grievous" harm, and a death has reisulted from their use. Do not apply an ointment to a aore. It keeps back the secretion. To wounds, bruises, sprains, burns, ulcers, eczema, and other skin troubles APPLY SANDER' SEXTRACT, 15 drops in a tablespoon of olive oil. The effect will surprise rou. SANDER'S EXTRACT HEALS because it .is freed from the irritating constituents contained in other ©ucalyntus preparation. It heals when others irritate. Insist upon the genuine SANDER EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, and you will derive the benefit.
