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 not give their unsolicited testimonials in special commendation of Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps were it a preparation of doubtful or even ordinary quality, nor unless they had proved its superior exceUence 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 Ague which so frightfully undermines the consti tution, THE SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS !1i be found absolutely infallible, while in cases of • Gravel, Obstructions of the Kidneys, Diseases of Dropsy Dyspepsia, Flatulency of Age and Infancy, the Bladder, _ Hlity it is recommended most em and General"De.. '"t distinguished members of the phatically by the mo.. Medical Profession. . -nals have been offered The following reliable testimoi by the Australian Press:— Sydney Morning Herald. Vrgely "In these days when alcoholic liquors are so *.- v>t Consumed and consumers are so much in don.. wbeSttelr systems are not being gradually impaired by adulteration, it is well that one at least of the 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 in this article a genuine extract which, taken in moderate quantity and under ordinarily healthy conditions of body, affoids 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 Lust to point to this meritorious exception. Town and Country Journal. "We have in these Schnapps a total absence of fusil Oil which, combined with the great purity of aU in gredients whence it is extracted, accounts for the unu sually healthy and invigorating quality which have already rendered this latest addition to the alcoholic st 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 vigorating and harmless, and it may be used with much benefit by those requiring a pleasant and effective remedy. The medical officers of the Sydney Infirmary have tested its merits practically in various cases, and bear willing testimony te 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 Testimonials. " Sydney Infirmary, Nov. 11, 18/0. "Ibeg to state'that I have, with the permission of Eonorarn Physicians, given your Schnapps to several patients in our wards. I have no hesitation in stating that I consider your Schnapps a most excellent Stimu lant tMd Diuretic, and of ereat 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 15,18/2. _ I have examined a sample of Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps submitted to me for analysis. Prom 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 be recommended for use in Hospital and private practice as a good aromatic stimulant. —(Signed) William John son, Govern ment Analytical Chemist. We have appointed Messrs L. D.

I certify that I have carefully examined and analysed WoWs 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 aU cases where a pure gin is indicated. I have also submitted the sample 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. — Chables F.

Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. , IVliat is Nervousness?— Various answers r might be 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 AN UNNATURAL CONDITION OF THE NERVOUS system. Sometimes "this unnatural state is accompa nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh 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 cheek; 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 tremulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious and undecided, the tates vitiated, the imagination broods 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 glected. A Strange Spectacle.—lt is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime . _ of life, with firm step and healthy'countenance, may. <jf occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing ! * ( all the advantages of education, religion/ample means, / and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of . the Jjfl nervousness above . described; unhappy themselves, r they render other people unhappy. Why.-ls "thSti-. What cause has operated to change the cheerful, '■ active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining ', youth into the unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicious, •»■ and gloomy, misanthrope ?■■ Many cases, or one cause only, may o'perate'to produce this sad state : the cause . may be either mental or physical, or both combined. ,; Attempts to cure nervousness by means of ordinary '- . tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygenic means,' such as exercise in the open air, •". regular habits, sea-bathing,-the cold bath friction; ~ change of air and scene, as in travelling. If all these ','. fail, as they often do, what is to be done ?
