WHY IS STANDEE AND SONS' PURE VOL VTILE- EUCALYPTI EXTRACT Superior to any other Eucalyptus Products? Because it is tile result of full experience and of. a special and careful process of manufacture. It is always sale, reliable, and effective, and the dangers attending the use of the irresponsible preparations which are now palmed off as " Extracts . are avoided. A deatb. was recently reported from the internal use of one of these concoctions, and in an action at law a sworn witness testified that, he suffered the most cruel irritation from the application to an ulcer of a product which was stated to be "just as good as SANDER'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT." Therefore, beware of such deception Remember that in medicine a drop that cures is better than a tablespoonful that kills. Insist upon the preparation which was proved beyond all doubt »y skilled witnesses at the Supreme Court of Victoria and by many authorities during the past thirty-five years Jo be a preparation of genuine merit, viz.. SANDER AND SOAS' PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT!
