Madden, K.C.M.G., L.L.D., in the Supreme Court, at Melbourne, the prosecution showed:— 1. That Sander and Sons' Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract contains all medical constituents of the eucalypti, in a highly refined and pure form. 2. That it is muoh more powerfully healing (antiseptic) than ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 3. That it does not depress the heart like ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 4. That it contains no harmful ingredients, and 5. That it is highly commended by many authorities for the» last 30 years as a safe, reliable and effective remedy.
