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. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of three yoars standing, or loans granted on security of same.

The extraordinary Sale, wide-spread popularity, and wonderful results ot Woiw's Schnapps prove in disputably that the introduction of a perfectly pu_. 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 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 and Ague 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 the Bladder, Dyspepsia, Flatulency of Age and Infancy, and General Debility 'it is recommended most em phatically by the m6st| 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 aro 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, oven 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 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 tho alcoholic list so justly celebrated." Bell's Life in Sydney. " Experience has proved the value of Wolfe's Seine 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, aud 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. 11,1570. " 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 Sclmapps a moat excellent Stimu lant and Diuretic, and of great value in cardiac and renal affections, and 1 believe they will eventually supersede all oilier 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 mo 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 bo surpassed. It may therefore be recommended for use in Hospital and private practice as a good aromatic stimulant. —(Signed) William John son, Govern ment Analytical Chemist. AYe 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 j Wolfe's Aromatic Sclmapps, and find the sample given , me to be a very strong, pure spirit, free from adultera- I tion or any deleterious or any offensive matter, and I | believe useful in all cases where a pure gin is indicated. I I have also submitted the sample to patients who j have been accustomed to this description of stimulant, ■ and it has been "universally liked and approved of as a j strong, pure, wholesome spirit, and as such I can re commend it.—Charles F.

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 the question, probably, is this—nervous ness IS an unnatural 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 most eases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weak ness. The sufferers aro found in both sexes; they often have tho 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: tho heart beats violently; the hand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete trcmulousncss. 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 bo met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religiou/ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless aro victims of the nervousness above described; unhappy themselves, they, render other people unhappy. "Why is this? What cause has operated to change the cheerful, activo,_ 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 maybe either mental or physical, or both combined. Attempts to cure nervousness by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitlij:ecou_." the leading physicians now for the most part rgt-mrfrtiend hygenio means, such as exorcise in tlie 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 bo found by carefully perusing the foUowing Work :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. Id. 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 Now Zealand or other stamps, also a properly directed envelope.
