IF YOU HAVE A Cough, Cold, Nose, Throat, or Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, or Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, USE SANDER'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT; 5 drops in a tablespoon water. -Remember, you cannot expect the good effects from any sort of eucalyptus.

SANDER'S EXTRACT HEALS .because it is freed from the irritating constituents contained in other eucalyptus preparation. It heals when others irritate. Insist upon the genuine SANDER EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, and you, will derive the benefit.
