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 thu 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 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 Feveh and Acue which so frightfully undermines the consti tution, THM SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHXAPPS will bo 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 Scliicdum Sclmapps. 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 bod)', 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." Town and Country Journal. " We have in these Schnapps a total absence of fusil oil which, combined with thu 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." Hull's Life in Sydney. " Experience has proved the value of Wolfe's Schie dam Aromatic Schtuijips 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 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 Testimonials. "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. I have no hesitation in stating that I consider your Schnapps a most vxeellcnt Stimu lant and Diuretic, and of great value in cardiac and renal affections, and 1 believe they will eventually supernal: all other Spirits in the treatment of the above complaints. "LITTON FORBES, Resident Physician.,, Government Analytical Laboratory, Melbourne, March 15, 157"2. I a have examined a sample of Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedam Scltuapps submitted to me for analysis. From the examination L conclude that this spirit is perfectly free from, Jf'unil 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 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 Wolfe's Aromatic Sc.lt napps, 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. — Ciiakmm F.

A PARADOX. TO SUFFERERS. Nervousness : Its Nature and Cure. 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 an " imaginary complaint;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient is either dying" or dead. The best answer to thu question, probably, is this—nervous ness IS AN I'NNATIII.VI. roxniTiDX (IK TMK XSUVOUS 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 j 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 trenmlousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious and undecided, the tates vitiated,-the imagination broods j 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 StranycSpcetaclee—lt is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with tirm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religion,ample meads, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described; unhappy themselves, ' -y, they render other people unhappy. Why is ■tins: 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. ,-^S# ] Attempts to cure nervoiumcsi 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 ? The Answer will be found by carefully perusing Uio following Work :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. 4d. Nervous Debility : Its Cause and Cure. With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health. .
