RATES OF PREMIUM Are framed as low as are consistent with the due safety of the Society, and its Aotnary \n calculated to be one of the most competent authorities in England, the Court of Chancery having recently had to avail themselves of his experience in these matters ; ana although apparently higher than some offices, assurers should not loose sight of the fact that they receive it back, either*™ bonuses or in addition to sums assurer!, and in electing to insure in this Society they also avail themselves nf the experience and safety of a concern that time has proved to he secure against all chances. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of three years standing, or loans on anted on stjcuiuty of same. FOREIGN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly decked vessels, and in time of peace. PARTICIPATION OP PROFITS.

The extraordinary Sale, wide-spread popularity and beverage is appreciated by the Australian public.

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 theconsti- TIIE SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS will be found absolutely infallible, while in cases of Dropsy, Gravel, Obstructions of the Kidneys, Diseases of the 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 offered by the Australian Press: — Sydney Morning Herald. " In these days when alcoholic liquors are so largely consumed, and consumers are so much in doubt whether their 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 Seltnapps. 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, 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. "Ifit 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 the great purity of all 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 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 vigorating and harmless, and it may be used with much benefit by those requiring a pleasant and effective remedy. The medical oflicers 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 ivi on ials. " Sydney Infirmary, Nov. 11,1570. " I beg to state that 1 have, with the permission of Honorary 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 «.*.(? Diuretic}'and of great 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 15,1572. I have examined a sample of Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps submitted to me for analysis. From the examination 1 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) AVxuvtAK Jons sox, 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 Now Zealand. Auckland, New Zealand. I certify that I have carefully examined and analysed Wolfe's Aromatic, Schnapps; and find the sample giveiv 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 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. — Charles F. tioLDsuno', M.D., June 20,1572.

What is Nervousness?— Various answers 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 aa "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- HES9 TB AN USNATUItAi 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 mo.it cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weak ness The sufferers arc found in both sexes; they often have the bloom of health upon their cheek ; tiiey 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 treinulousness. ihe 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 Speclucle.— lt is ncertaily strange, but no the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may 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 nervousness above described ; unhappy themselves, they render other, people unhappy. Why is this? 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 operate to produce this sad state : the cause may be either mental or physical, or both combined. Attempts to care nervousness by means 01 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 ? _ The Answer will be found by' carefully perusing the following Work :— Ninth Edition, Tost iree, la. id. Nervous Debility : Its Cause and Cure. With Plain Directions for Perfect restoration , to Health. Applications for a copy of the above work mustbe accompanied by the amount in New Zealand or other tamps, also a properly directed envelope.

Scorbutic Eruptions, as Sore Heads and Scrofulous Su-dlinys —If this powerful Ointment be well rubbed into the parts affected all skin disease will be speedily overcome. It acts not by repression, but repulsion. It enters the system as salt enters meat, and operates not locally only, but constitutionally purifying the whole system,' neutralizing Jail depraved humours, and effecting a radical and complete cure. The Pills should be taken as iui'iuaaiarr to tho Ointment, they are so prepared as to• act in unison -svith it, facilitating and confirming the conquest of the disease. JJiptlierhc, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quinsey.—The above complaints have for twenty years been treated with Holloway's Ointment and Pills with perfect success. The"cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that these often fatal diseases are more easily cured by these medicines than even the common sore tnroat, if taken in'time.' The KidtififS, Stone and Gravel—ln these complaints the Ointment almost acts like a charm, pro viding it is very effectually rubbed over the regions of the kidneys, which it will penetrate and give almost immediate" relief, while the Pills should be taken according to the pryitcd directions, when the most extraordinary cures may be effected by this means, i Had Leys, Bud Breasts, Sc.ro/nluus Sores, and Glandular SfeWhas.— ln such cases the Ointment operates surely and with a rapidity .that resembles magic. It should be nibbed into the parts affected after they have been fomented with hike warm water. The purifying and curative powers of this marvellous unguent have never failed. AH 'old sore, wound, or ulcer always yields to its influence, and in cases of bad breasts, or "milk fevers, its action is wonderful.
