RATES OF PREMIUM Are framed as low as are consistent with the due safety of the Society, and its Actuary is 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 ; and although apparently higher than some offices, assurers should not loose sight of the fact that they receive it back, either in bonuses or in addition to sums assured, and in electing to insure in this Society they also avail themselves of the experience and safety of a concern that time has proved to be secure against all chances.

The extraordinary Sale, wide-spread popularity, and wonderful results of Wolfe'h Sciixaits 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 ScuiKDAM Aromatic SoirsAvra 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 aud Ague ■which so frightfully undermines the consti- ! tution, THE SCHIEDAM AIV UI. I TIG S( lIXA PPS will be found absolutely infallible, while in cases of Dropsy, (! ravel, 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 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, 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 just to point to this meritorious exception." Toivn and Country Journal, "We have iv 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 ;it 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 to its excellence, and we, there fore, fool 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, IS7O. "Ibeg 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 and Diuretic, and of great value in cardiac and j renal affections, and 1 believe they will eventually supersede all other Spirits in the treatment of the above complaints. "LITTON FOBBES, Resident Physician.,, Government Analytical Laboratory, Melbourne, March 15,1872. I have examined a sample of Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedam 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 be recommended for use in Hospital and private practice as a good aromatic stimulant. —(Signed) William John bon, Govern ment Analytical Chemist. Wo 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, Solo Agents for Australia and New Zealand. Auckland, New Zealand. I certify that I have carefully examined and analysed Wolfe's 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 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.

Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure- What is Nervowmtss '. — Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy nersons whether medically educated or not, generally regard 'mcvouskosh as more or less an "imaginary complaint ;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient U either dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this-NJBBVOC*. XJ-SS IS YN UKX VTI'RAL COXIHTION 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 or 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 treinulousness. 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 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 eases, or one cause only, may operate 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 ah-, regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ; change of air and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as the/ often do, what is to be done ? 77m- Anxircr will be found by carefully perusing the following Work : — Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. 4d. Nervous Debility : Its Cause and Cure. With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration • to Health. Applications for a copy of the above work must be accompanied by the amount in New Zealand or other stamps, also a properly directed envelope.

To Purify the Blood. —These Pills have been placed by the common consent of mankind at the head, of all remedies for removing obnoxious poisons from the blood, and cleansing all the tissues of the body: They have saved thousands year after year from falling a sacrifice to the cifectsof dyspepsia, dysentery, diarrhusa, constipation, liver complaints, etc., a fact attested by myriads of witnesses. Excessive weakness and debility, the warnings of decreasing organic energy and vital decay, are restored and reanimated with vigour and healthful action ill every organ throughout the system by the restorative and"exhilirating influence of this medicine. ;. . j-'o.i«7e Complaints. -All disorders of the sex, raid diseases in every crisis perilous to the life and health of woman, youthful or aged, married or single, may be radically and u.uickly cured without risk or trouble by a few doses of these Tills, taken according to the printed directions. Indigcdion vr.h Langour and Want of Energy-— When' taking these Pills rub Holloway's celebrated Ointment over the pit of the stomach, and over the 1 regions of the liver, on the right side under the ribs' and you will at once experience a change for the better in your digestion, spirits, appetite, strength, and energy. The improvement, though it may be gradual will be thorough and lasting. Dropsy. -The elllcacy of Holloway's Pills in dropsy is extraordinary. They act with such peculiar ert'ect upon the system, that the lluids arising from this direful disease are imperceptibly carried oft' and pre vented from any further accumulation. The sufferer regains a buoyancy of spirits, and rejoices in a com pletely renovated constitution ;but it is indispensably necessary th it the Ointment should be most effectually rubbed into the complaining parts. " ' Stomach, Liver, Kid%cys, and Boioelx. —Those, who suffer from bile and liver complaints should try the effects of this valuable; remedy, a few doses of which will make the sufferer feel elastic and vigorous, re moving all impurities, giving a healthy action to the liver; if bilious attacks be allowed to continue, serious casualties may arise, and the sufferer be consigned to a bed of sickness. In all disorders of the kidneys the ■}.'. Ointment should be well rubbed into the back ohce or :\ ---twice a day : and the Pills, acting in unison, will cure any complaint arising from these organs. Puffy,— Shortness of Breath with Weakness.— Very bad symptoms, which if not corrected, may tend to , some serious disorders of the heart, or other vital organs. Eat moderately of solids, take six Pills nightly for some little time ; take plenty of fresh air with moderate exercise, and the human machinery will be quickly restored to health and vigour. Try this but for three days only, and the result will be marvellous. Complaints incident to Children.—AH complaints of children may soon be cured if care be taken to purify their blood, correct the action of the liver, and cleanse the stomach and bowels : a few doses of these famous Pills will immediately have the desired effect, par ticularly if parents be careful in not allowing them to eat of things which they know would be injurious to themselves. Ilolloway's Pills arc the best remedy known in the world for the following diseases: — Ague Female Irregu- I King's Evil l^C Asthma larities " ISore Throats JSIM Bilious Com- Fevers of all kinds-Stone and Gravel.-"" plainta Fits Secondary Symp- Blotches on the Gout toms Skin Headache Tic Douloureux Bowel Com- Indigestion Tumours plaints Inflammation Ulcer Colics Jaundice Venereal Affec- Coustipation of Liver Complaints tions the Bowels Lumbago Worms of all Consumption Piles kinds Debility Rheumatism Weakness, from Dropsy Retention of whatever cause, Dysentery Urine &0., &c.
