Xo9. The extraordinary Sale, wide-spread popularity, and wonderful results of Wolfe's Schnapps prove in disputably that the introduction of a perfectly pure beverage is appreciated by the Australian public. The medical profession being the most competent in science and responsible in society, of all others to form a correct judgment of the medicinal and salutary properties of an article of this kind would notgive their unsolicited testimonials in special commendation of Sciiikham A.HOMATN: Senn.vim's were it a preparation of doubtful or even ordinary quality, nor unless they had proved its superior excellence and value in their own practice or experience. As a means of preventing the disagreeable and often dangerous effects produced upon the stomach and bowels by a change of water, or in the use of water containing an infusion of decayed vegetable matter, which so often produces that obstinate form of Fever and AnUE which so frightfully undermines the eonsti tUtl<77/W SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS will be found absolutely infallible, while in cases of Dropsy, < i ravel, Obstructions of the Kidneys, Diseases of tho Bladder, Dyspepsia, Flatulency of Age and Infancy, and General Debility it is recommended most em phatically by the most distinguished members of the Medical Profession, The following reliable testimonials have been ottered by the Australian Press:— Sijdiii'ii Morning Herald. " In these days when alcoholic liquors are so largely consumed, ami consumers are so much in doubt whether their systems arc not being gradually impaired by adulteration, it is well that one at least of tho popular beverages of the period is reliable as pure —that is Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps. It is some thing to be assured by physicians and other of the scientific cognoscenti that we have ill this article a genuine extract which, taken in moderate quantity and under ordinarily healthy conditions of body, affords a beneficial stimulus to the animal functions ; and, even if taken in excess, leaves but a minimum of the in evitable evils Of abuse. " If it is necessary in the interests of the public to denounce the too common practice of manufacturing noxious compounds as wines and spirits it seems only ust to point to this meritorious exception." Town and Country Journal. " We have in these Schnapps a total absence of fusil oil which, combined with tho great purity of all in gredients whence it is extracted, accounts for the unu sually healthy and invigorating finality which have already rendered this latest addition to the alcoholic list so justly celebrated." Bell's Life in Sydney. " Experience has proved the value of Wolfe's Schie dam Aromatic Schnapps as a stimulant at once in vigorat.ng and harmless, audit may be used with much benefit by those requiring a pleasant and effective remedy. The medical otlicers of the Sydney Infirmary have tested its merits practically in various cases, and bear willing testimony to its excellence, and we, there fore, feel no difficulty in recommending to the notice of our readers the Aromatic Schnapps, not only as a pure and agreeable occasional beverage, but, what is of far more importance, as a really pleasant medicine. Important Test imonials. "Sydney Infirmary, Nov. 11,1870. " I beg to state that I have, with the permission of Honorary Physicians, given your Schnapps to several patients in our wards. 1 have no hesitation in stating that I consider your Schnapps a most excellent Stimu lant wvl Diuretic, and of (Treat value in cardiac and renal affections, and 1 believe they will eventually supersede all other Spirits in the treatment of the above complaints. LITTON FORBES, Resident Physician. „ Government Analytical Laboratory, Melbourne, March 15,1872. I have examined a sample of Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedavi Schnapps submitted to me for analysis. From the examination I conclude that this spirit is perfectly free from Fusil Oil, or solid matters; is distilled from malt only, as a sample of Holland's gin cannot be surpassed. It may therefore bo recommended for use in Hospital and private practice as a good aromatic stimulant. — (Signed) William Johnson, Govern ment Analytical Chemist. We have appointed Messrs L. D. Nathan & Co. Sub-Agents for the sale of Wolfe's Schnapps in Auck land, New Zealand.— M. Moss & Co., Sydney, Sole Agents for Australia and New Zealand. Auckland, New Zealand. I certify that I have carefully examined and analysed WoVes Aromatic Schnapps, and find the sample given me to be a very strong, pure spirit, free from adultera tion or any deleterious or any offensive matter, and. I believe useful in all cases where a pure gin is indicated. I have also submitted the samplo to patients who have been accustomed to this description of stimulant, and it has been universally liked and approved of as a strong, pure, wholesome spirit, and as such I can re commend it. — Charles F.

WE beg to intimate that we are engaged in the compilation of an Almanac for the Province of Auckland for the year 1873, which will be issued early in December of the present year. Without reflecting on any previous productions in this special Held of literature, we believe tiiat we can produce a work that will meet the wants of the residents in the city and province to an extent not yet attained by any local Almanac. It is not our wish to define the points on which our Almanac will base its claims to supersede other local Almanacs, but we feel confidence in promising that it will find its way into more households and ollices, and more nearly attain to the correct ideal of a Provincial " Book " Almanac than anything of the kind that ha.s yet been sub mitted to the public of Auckland. Tic information contained will be extensive and carefully compiled, and the literary portion of the i work will be executed in a manner that will satisfy the I most fastidious, while our extensive and varied assort | ment of new and ornamental type, and the advantages lof our steam printing machinery will enable us to produce a volume that for neatness and cheapness is not likely to be equalled in the district. We can therefore confidently recommend this Annual as affording the bent ailvcrtlniiuj medium.

TO SUFFERERS. Nervousness : Its Nature and Cure. Muit is Nervousness ?— Various answers mightbe given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nevousness as more or less an " imaginary complaint;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient is either dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this—NERVOUS NESS IS AX UNXATUKAX CONDITION OF THE NERVOUS system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompa nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesll and loss of strength ; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weak ness. The sufferers are found in both sexes; they often have the bloom of health upon their cneeKj they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to them has no charms, for they feel that they cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy other people about the merest trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed: the heart beats violently; the hand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete trcmulousness. The liiteueci also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, tne judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious ana undecided, the tates vitiated, the imagination brood* upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are either very low or very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned and business ne &A Strange Spectacle.— lt is ncertaily strange but no the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prune of life, with firm step and healthy countenance,, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of P°sse ®"* all the advantages of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of u» nervousness above described; vaihappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. Why s u^- What cause has operated to change the cleemu, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomptanfflg youth into the unhappy, drowsy, listless, «^ and gloomy misanthrope ? Many cases, or one cause only, may operate to produce tins sad state : t c cause may be either mental or physical, or both combngfl. Attempts to cure nervouviess by means of ojduar tonics have so frequently proved leading physicians now for the most par recomnien hvgenic means, such as exercise in the °ye« regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath fticww change of air and scene, as in travelling, uau fail, as they often do, what is to be done ? m The Answer will be found by carefully perpmg following Work :— ■ ... .
