THE CELEBRITY OF SANDER AND SONS' PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT is universally acknowledged. Royalty honors it, and the entire medical profession has adopted its use. Imitations sprung up without number. The latest of them—all styled " Extracts '—was an oil foisted upon the trusting and unwary under the grossest misuse of Sander and Sons' reputation. Sander and Sons' instituted an action at the Supreme Court of Victoria, before his Honor Chief Justice Sir J. Madden, K.C.M.G., etc., and at the trial a sworn witness testified that he had to stop the use of counterfeits on account of the irritation produced. This shows what care is required to obtain an article that is scientifically tested and approved of. As such is solely endorsed and recommended.
