Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract.— According to reports of a great number of physicians of the largest professional standing, there are offered Eucalypti Extracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world-wide fame of Sander and Sons' preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance oan be placed in other products:—Dr. W. B. Bush, Oakland, Fla., writes. It is sometimes difficult to obtain the genuine article (Sander and Sons'). I employed different other preparations but they had no therapeutic value and no effects. In one case the effects were similar to the oil camphora, the objectionable action of which is well known." Dr. H. B. Drake, Oregon, says 'Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons) I use no other form of eucalyptus as I think it by far the oest.' Dr. L. P. Preston, Lyncnburg, Va., writes 1' ' 1 never use any preparation other than Sander and Sons', as 1 have found there to be almost useless.
