PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTUS OIL,
DISTILLED FROM
THE LEAVES OF SELECTED SPECIES OF THE EUCALYPTUS...
UCALYPTUS OIL has long taken a
EUCALYPTUS "household redy" In Australia. When applied externally it has a powerful stimulating and soothing action, but does not blister the most sensitive skin, and no application known will so quickly subdue the pain of muscular rheumatism.
Taken internally in small doses, it acto us a powerful stimulant and antipasmodic, whilst its secondary netlan induces sleep.
The penetrating agreeable vapor of the Oll Is sedative, and when Inhaled relieves, Asthina, Bronchitis, Catarrh and Sore Throat.
It is also a most powerful antiseptic and germicide, being three times as effectual as Carbolic Acid in preventing development of Bacteria, its uses in this direction being very
numerous.
The active properties of the Oll depend upon a Terpene called Eucalyptol, and we guarantee this Oll, prepared especially for us, to contain the largest obtainable percentage of Eucalyptol and twice that of the ordinary Eucalyptus Oil of
commerce.
It can be used with great benefit in all Throat and Lung Affections, and its sedative stimulating properties make it an invaluable application in Neuralgia, Rheumatism, &c, whilst its powerful antiseptic and germicide action is well exhibited as a dressing in Wounds, Ulcers, Barns, Scalds Sorea, Ringworm, &c.
Dakin's specially refined Oil is sold in a or. and 4 oz. bottles at cia, go and $1.00.
Full Directions for use enclosed with each battle.
CAUTION,
Interior samples of Eucalyptus Oil distilled from any kind of Eucalyptus leaf have little or no medical action and should be carefully avolded.
