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 Akomatic Scunaits 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 An UE which so frightfully undermines the consti tution, THE SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHXAPPS will be found absolutely infallible, while in cases of Dropsy, < fravel, Obstructions of the Kidneys, Diseases of the Bladder, Dyspepsia, Flatulency of Age and Infancy, and General Debility'if 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 Mornimj 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 anil 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. "Ifit 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 the alcoholic list so justly celebrated." Bell's Life in Sydney. " Experience has proved the value of Wolfe's Schie dam, Aromatic Scluuipps 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 otiicers 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, IS7O. " I bog 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 1 consider your Schnapps a most 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 FOKBES, Resident Physician. „ Goocrnmmt Analytical Laboratory, • Melbourne, March 15,1872. I have examined a sample of Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedam Sch \iapps 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 bo surpassed. It may therefore be recommended for use in Hospital and private practice as a good aromatic stimulant. — (Signed) William Joux son, Govern ment Analytical Chemise.' 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, Bole Agents for Australia and New Zealand. Auckland, New Zealand. I certify that I have carefully examined and analysed Wolfji's Aromatic Schnapps, and find the sample given mo 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 lias been universally liked and approved of as a strong, pure, wholesome spirit, and as such I can re | commend it. — CHAHiiEa F. tioiawr.no', M.D. June 20,15T 2.

Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure- I17(c(i is Nervoustiess ?— 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 Hevousness 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 rXX.VL'rR.U. CONDITION OF THE NERVOUS systkm. 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 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 tvemulousness. 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.
