Statutory Declaration. — I, Franz Unnbe, tronbark, Sandhurst, in the colony „of Victoria, Australia, do solemnly and riacrely declare that on the 2Cth of June, 1877, my son Alfred, six years of a<rc, was accidentally hurt with an axe on the knee. [ at once took all pains to secure medical ÜBiatance. However, in Bpite of all efforts, pnbhe 2?fch ot Auyuak, 1897, the opinion was given by Dr. Macgillivray that an imputation of the injured limb had become imperative, in order to save life. At this juncture I called on Messrs Sander and Sons, procuring some of their Extract of Eucalyptus Qlbbulus, and by the applicabion^of the same I had the satisfaction of seeing my s<*l within a fortnight out of all danger, and to-day he is re* covered. I may just add that it was when the crisis had been reached that th» Extract referred to was first applied. An 4 I make this solemn declaration, ect.,— •
