Compound.
I, PIERCE OCKENDEN, of 119 and 120 London Wall, in the City of London,
Manager of the firm of Rocke, Tompsitt & Co, of the same address, and of Flinders
Street, Melbourne, in the Colony of Victoria, Australia, Merchants, do hereby
declare the nature of the said invention for "A NEW OR IMPROVED ANTISEPTIC,
DEODORANT, AND DISINFECTANT COMPOUND," which invention has been communi-
cated to me from abroad by Herbert Rocke and Henry Thomas Tompsitt, both of
Melbourne, trading as Rocke, Tompsitt & Co, of 119 and 120 London Wall, in the
City of London and of Flinders Street, Melbourne, in the Colony of Victoria,
Australia, Merchants, to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is the production of a new or improved antiseptic,
deodorant and disinfectant compound, by the combination of crushed Linseed, and
Eucalyptus leaves and seeds, or an extract thereof, and oils, or some of them.
The mode of preparation admits of considerable variation, but that which we
have found most advantageous is as follows: Eucalyptus leaves and seeds are
exhausted by percolation with proof spirit, thus extracting the useful antiseptic,
deodorant, and disinfectant properties, the resulting percolate is incorporated with
ground linseed, dried on trays, in thin layers at a suitable temperature, and then
repowdered, after which we add a small quantity of essential oil of Eucalyptus.
The proportion of the ingredients admits of considerable variation, and the oil in
the linseed may be dispensed with. The compound thus produced possesses
powerful healing, antiseptic, and deodorant properties.

Compound.
I PIERCE OCKENDEN of 119 and 120 London Wall in the City of London
Manager of the firm of Rocke Tompsitt & Co of the same address and of Flinders
Street Melbourne in the Colony of Victoria Australia Merchants do hereby declare
the nature of the said invention for "A NEW OR IMPROVED ANTISEPTIC DEODORANT
AND DISINFECTANT COMPOUND FOR PHARMACEUTICAL PURPOSES (a communication
to me from abroad by Herbert Rocke and Henry Thomas Tompsitt both of
Melbourne trading as Rocke Tompsitt & Co of 119 and 120 London Wall in the
City of London and of Flinders Street West Melbourne in the Colony of Victoria
Australia Merchants and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is the production of a new or improved antiseptic
and deodorant compound for pharmaceutical purposes by the combination of
crushed Linseed with Eucalyptus leaves and seeds or an extract thereof and oil of
the same or some of them.
The mode of preparation admits of considerable variation but one which has
been found advantageous is as follows:-Eucalyptus leaves and seeds are exhausted
by percolation with proof spirit, thus extracting the useful antiseptic and deodorant
properties, the resulting percolate is incorporated with ground linseed, dried on
trays in thin layers at a suitable temperature, and then repowdered after which a
small quantity of essential Oil of. Eucalyptus is added.
The proportion of the ingredients admits of considerable variation and the
Eucalyptus Oil last mentioned may be dispensed with-The Compound thus
produced possesses powerful healing antiseptic and deodorant properties..
According to a modification the said Invention may be carried into practice in
the following manner
Take the ordinary linseed meal of commerce and mix there with the previously
dried and powdered leaves and seeds of Eucalyptus-After thoroughly mixing
these three substances gradually incorporate with the same a small quantity of
Eucalyptus Oil,
The various materials may conveniently be used in the following pro-
portions vizt
Together say 100 parts.
It will be readily understood that the proportions above given as well as the
mode of uniting the several substances may be varied, that the principal feature of
this invention is the combination in a single compound of the beneficial elements
of linseed meal with those of Eucalyptus and that therefore it is not absolutely 4

page_text: necessary to employ the latter in all the forms above mentioned but that the
absence of one form, say of the Eucalyptus Oil may be compensated for by
increasing the proportion of either or both the other forms and that Eucalyptus in
any one form may in like manner be used alone I prefer to use the leaves seeds
oil & of the Eucalyptus globulus but those of any of the other kind of Eucalyptus
will answer the purpose although perhaps not so effectively.
This new or improved compound is intended to be used in cases where linseed
meal and similar materials have been heretofore employed and combining as it
does the virtues of the Eucalyptus with the well known softening and mollifying
qualities of crushed linseed it forms a material for the preparation of poultices of
the highest excellence and specially adapted for dressing wounds ulcers and the
like more particularly such as have a septic tendency.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
A compound consisting of linseed meal combined with the leaves seeds and oil
of the Eucalyptus or with any one or two of these or with percolates or extracts
therefrom either with or without the leaves seed or oil substantially as and for the
purposes herein above set forth.
