FACHE Cromwell:— Mr. JAS. MARSHALL :—M'DOUGAL & SMITH THE GUM LEAF CURE. Eucalypti Essence! LET the Public take notice of a few facts put forward for their information in this intimation. They may be worth their study, and repay perusal in enlightening them upon a subject of practical utility. The History of the Essence's Discovery. The Australian anti-fever tree—that is the blue gum, or eucalyptus globulus— has now spread its fame throughout the world, but there are many who do not properly estimate its splendid qualities. It has been estimated that the Australian blue gums, which stud the face of the Colony, contain about live hundred million gallons of pure volatile oil, that is the mortal foe of fever and ague. Every day in the year the forests of the colony are giving out and exhaling in the form of vapour, an aromatic fragrance to our breezes, and a health-giving essence to our people. This fact is now recognised by all scientists in the world Its Claim as a Curative. It has now become the fashion with the inventors of discoveries of remedial agents to claim something little short of infallibility and universability of cure for their respective agents. Messrs Sander and Sons did nothing of the sort. They have confidence that their essence possesses many virtues; but the full extent of these they do not know yet. They are now collecting data, and they are most careful and searching in performing this. It is quite sure then, that their eucalypti esaeuce can fairly assert itself to be a grand panacea for many of tho ills that tlesh is heir to. In Scarlet, Typhoid, or any case of Fever, nothing will protect better against contagion than a few drops of tho essence poured in the palm of the hand, and rubbed in, in order to liberate the vapors, or sprinkled over the clothes. Tho perfume will be noticed for a length of time. Inwardly used, take three or four drops in half a tumbler of water. The essence effects a most surprising change of the whole constitution, correcting indigestion, and creating a healthy appetite. For Children Attending Schools, tho same mode may bo adopted. In Cases of Sickness, a few drops put into a saucer, and put into tho room will, being an etberio essence, evaporate, and HU tho room with the purifying vapor. Are you obliged to Travel ! A few drops occasionally rubbed on tho body, will protect against any contagion you may he exposed to, in coming direct with sick persons, or in sleeping in tho same room with, or in beds occupied previously by sick persons. All Hotelkeepers will do well to sprinkle from time to time in drawers where linen is usually kept, a few drops of the pure essential essence. It produces no spots whatever, as every particle of it evaporates, and nothing remains. In short, where a disinfectant is needed, the pure essential eucalypti essence ought to be the one you have recourse to, and no family ought to be without it. For all Wounds, Cuts, Burns, Scoldings, Ulcers, and Cancerous Wounds, a piece of linen wrapped round tho suffering part, and moistened with a few drops of the eucalypti essence, will stop all pain, and effect a speedy cure. In cases where a piece of linen cannot be applied, tho moistening of tho suffering part with the pure essence will do as well. In case of Colds, moisten the nostrils with a few drops and inhale the vapour, and you will feel immediate relief, and entire riddance of tho heat. In all cases where the Lungs may he Affected, tho above-mentioned process, continually repeated, will ho tho best that can be advised. In cases of Rheumatism, a mixture of one part of the pure essential eucalypti essence with three parts of spirits of wine, well rubbed in the suffering part, has acted better than any other remedy. In all cases of Inflammation, the essence may be applied to tho part affected. In severe cases of Toothache of rheumatic origin, the pure essence may be applied on tho external part of tho face. In cases of Inflammation of the. Byes, apply the pure essence to the outside of the eyelids. Headache, and Rheumatic Pains in the Head are positively cured and removed by rubbing tho essence on the affected parts. For many cases of Severe Bruises tho essence has proved tho best remedy.
