IF YOU HAVE A Cough, Gold, JNose, Throat, or Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, or Liver Complaint, Rhe&uiatism, 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 CURES because it oontaana 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 concerts who do not know what they contain, have caused grievous harm, and a death has resulted from their use. Do not apply an ointment > to a sore. It keeps back the secretion. To wounds, bruiseß, sprains, burns, ulcers, eczema, and other skin troubles APPLY SANDER' SEXTRACT, 15 drops in a tablespoon of olive oil. The effect will surprise you. 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.
