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 Schikdam Aromatic Schnapps 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 tiie 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 Auue which so frightfully undermines the consti tution, THE SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS will be found absolutely infallible, while in cases of Dropsy, Gravel, 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. '.. Tlie following reliable testimonials have been offered by tlie 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 tlie period is reliable'as pure—that is H'olfv'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 tho 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 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 Sclvie dam Aromatic Schnapps as a stimulant at once in vigorating and harmless, audit 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 ta 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. — -Impot'tant Testimonials, "Sydney Intirmary, Nov. 11, IS7O. "Ibeg to state that I 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 ii.ul 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 abovo 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 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 Johnson, Govern ment Analytical Chemist. We have appointed Messrs L. D. Nathan & Co. Sub-Agents for tlie 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 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 tbe sample to patients who have been accustomed to this description of stimulant, and it lias 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- If/wit is Nervousness ?— Various answers might De 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 tlie patient is either dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this—nervous- i ness is an unnatural condition of the nervous system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accoinpa- , nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of nesn 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; .3 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 feci confused, afraid, and alarmed: the hear; beats violently; the hand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete trenmlousuess. 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, m- U ■■ glected. .. . . ■. . • it Strange Spectacle. —lt is ncertaily strange, but no . the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with Arm 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, , r they render other people unhappy. Why is this? What cause has operated to change the cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining r youth into the unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicious, J and gloomy misanthrope'? Many cases, or ongc^p-ifF only, may operate to produce this sad state ~'7*y___7kr*<r ' may be either mental or physical, or both utfffnjwas ij^jg Attempts to cure nervousness by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the ieading physicians now for the.most part recommend ■ hygenic means, such as exercise in tlie open air, regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction; , change of air and sceno, as in travelling. If all these il fail, as they often do, what is to be done ? . • . |o SC/ic yfusitifr will'be found by carefully perusing the ~ following Work :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. 4d.
