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 in then- 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 *Utl 2HB 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. at a" The following reliable testimonials have been offered by the Australian Press :— Sydney Morninn 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 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. "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 lust to point to this meritorious exception." Tovn 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 st 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 t© 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 instating that I consider your Schnapps a most excellent Stimu lant and Diuretic, and of ereat value in cardiac and renal affections, and 1 believe they will eventually supersede all other Spirits in the treatment of the above 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 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 John 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. Moss & Co., Sydney, Sole Agents for Australia and New Zealand. Auckland, New Zealand. I certify that I have carefully examined and analysed WoUe'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 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.

The Norwich Union Life Society has no distinct body of proprietors ; the insurers at large are the recipients of the savings of the institution : the premiums paid, being in fact only deposits, revert to those who con tribute them. SETTLEMENT POLICIES. To meet one of the 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 of bankruptcy, a certain and direct pro vision for his 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 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 years standing, or loans granted on security op same. FOREIGN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly decked vessels, and in time of peace. PARTICIPATION OP PROFITS.

TO SUFFERERS. Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. Wliat 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 rievousness 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 NERVOUB system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompar nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flestt and loss of strength ; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weaJc 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 tp 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, afraia, and alarmed: the heart beats violently; the han£ shakes when writing, and the whole frame at wines experiences a complete tremulousness. TlTe intellect also is sometimes clouded;" the memory fails, tn| judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious ana undecided, the tates vitiated, the imagination broods !up'on" impleasant topics, the spirits are. Neither very low or very excited, the ordinary, duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned and business, ne* ' glected. .S*SS S A Strange Spectacle.— lt is certainly strange, butnwr-^ the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with firm 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 tha nervousness above described; unhapjiy themselves, they render other people unhappy, W^Y *s , ™}W What cause has operated to change thfcs^cheeruu^ active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncontPJJSStfif , youth into the unhappy, drowsy, listless, su^fcsuse / and gloomy misanthrope ?
