Schnapps-. ~, Important Public Notice. WOLFE'S AJROMATIC &CHIE DAM SCHNAPPS, Registered under Trade Marks" Act, 28 Vie. No 9. 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 excellence and value m 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 tntl°THE 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 boing 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 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 officers of the Sydney Infirmary have tested its merits practically in various cases, and bear willing testimony to its excellence, and we, there fore, feeLno 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 Ihave, 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 feftrt Diuretic, and of croat value in cardiac and renal affections, and 1 believe they will event-unity supersede all other Spirits in the treatment of the abov complaints. LITTON FORBES, 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 FusU OH, 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 Joun son, Govern ment Analytical Chemist. We have appointed Messrs L. D. Nathan & Co. Sub-Agentsforthe sale of Wolfe's Schnapps in Auck land, New Zealand.—M. Moas& Co., Sydney, Sole Agents for Australia and New Zealand. Auckland, New Zealand. I certify that I have carefully examined and analysed WolVs 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.

To meet one of tho greatest wants of the day the Norwich Union issues Policies in the nature of settle ment, whereby a man in solvent circumstances, pro vided the matter is bond fide, may secure, without the risk ok bankruitcy, a certain and direct pro vision for ids family. RESOURCES. Irrespective of the immense annual revenue of this Society, gradually and surely on the increase, it pos sesses a Reserve Fund of £2,300,000 and upwards, available for its requirements. 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 bis experience in these matters; and although apparently higher than some offices, assurers hould 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 bo selhro against all ohanoes. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of three years standing, or loans granted on security of same, FOREIGN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly decked vessels, and in time of peace.
