IF YOU HAVE A Couph, Cold, Nose, Throat, or Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, use SANDER'S EUCALPYTI EXTRACT; 5 drops in a tablespoon of u-aZter. Remember, you cannot expect the good effects from any sort of eucalpytua. Sander's Extract cures because it contains ethereal and antiseptic substances not contained in other eucalyptus proructs. These latter, made by persons, ignorant of chemistry, and provided with fancy names and labels by trading concerns who do not knov what they contain, have caused grevious harm, and a death has resulted from their use. Do net *t)ply an ointment to a sore. It keeps back the secretion. To wounds, bruises, sprains, burns ulcers, eczema, anc: other skin troubles, apply Sander's Extract; 15 drops in a tablespoonfu! of olive oil. The effect will surprise you.
