and that also in three cases of incontinentia urina? 
cures through this medicine had occurred in his 
experience. Diminution of the reflex action, 
irrespective of the anti-catarrhal power of the 
oil, offers here the physiological explanation. 
Aron^ recommended the tincture or infusion of 
eucalyptus leaves against blennorrhoea and acute 
urethritis. Schulz himself combated urethritis of 
two years’ duration by employing twice a day a 
watery injection containing merely so much 
eucalyptus oil as would produce an only slightly 
smarting or burning sensation, the evil being 
overcome in six weeks. 
To supplement these important therapeutic 
records, as adduced by Professor Schulz, the fol- 
lowing more recent cases have been selected : — 
Dr. Keller, of Vienna, saw under his treatment 
of 432 cases of partly simple, partly complicated 
malarian fever, 310 cured by the use of eucalyptus, 
202 getting only a single dose of the tincture, 
quinine having been given previously in 118 out 
of the 432 cases. From 1 lb. leaves 2 -^ cfuarts 
of tincture was obtained, the average dose being 
2 drachms. 
Dr. Talbot, of Ohio, subdued malarian fever 
of several months’ duration, after unsuccessful 
use of quinine, by eucalyptus tincture. In the 
same manner he effected cures of remittent fever.
