WHY IS SANDER & SONS’ EUCALYPTUS EXTRACT superior to any other Eucalyptus product ? Because it is the result of full experience and of a special and careful manufacture. It is always safe, reliable and effective, and the dangers attending the use of the irresponsible preparations which are now palmed off as “ extracts ” are avoided. A death 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 from the most cruel irritation from the application to an ulcer of a product which was sold as “ 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 tahlcspoonful that kills. Insist upon the preparation which was proved by experts at the Supreme Court of Victoria and by numerous anthorities during the past thirty-five years to be a preparation of genuine merit, viz., THE GENUINE SANDER & SONS’ PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. THE GENUINE SANDER AND SONS’ EUCALYPTI EXTRACT outdistances all known remedies for colds* influenza, fevers, diarrhoea, stomach and kidney complaints. Prompt relief produced in neuralgic and rheumatic pains. It heals without inflammation. Inhalations (eight drops to a cup of boiling water) will cure all throat and lung trouble. As a mouthwash (three drops to a glass of water) it will stop all decay of the teeth and purify the breath. Chemists and stores.
