Important Public Notice- WOLFE'S AROMATIC &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 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 10THE 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 Mornino Herald. " In tliese 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.' "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 alrea'dv 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 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. "Ibeg to state'that I have, with the permission of Honorary Physicians, given your Schnapps to several patients in ciir wards. I have no hesitation in stating that I consider your Schnapps a most excellent Stimu lant tMd 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 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 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. — Chahles F.

BROWN, BARRETT & CO. Auckland, March 10,1872. Prospectus. PROSPECTUS OF THE Auckland and North Shore Steam Ferry Company (Limited). Reoihtkred under the Joint Stock Companies Acts. CAPITAL : £5000, in 5000 Shares of £1 each Provisional Directors : John Leek (Chairman) W. H. Kissling John Copland G. Sibbin R. T. Ebborn G. M. Reed Bankers: Bank of New Zealand Solicitor : W. L. Rees Hon. Secretary tro tern : G. M. Reed. THE Promoters of the Auckland and North Shore Steam Ferry Company are impressed with the conviction generally shared by the community, that tho Ferry Service with the North Shore might be conducted in a manner more con ducive to the public convenience. They believe that if that convenience were more consulted not only would the North Shore be far more availed of as a place for the healthful recreation of citizens, and become the most favourito of all the suburbs as a place of residence, but such conduct of the Ferry Service would so greatly increase the traffic as to best subserve the interests of the ferry steamers. It is the object of tho Steam Ferry Company to primarily consult the convenience and comfort of tho public,_to endeavour to popularise the North Shore as a place for public recreation and for residence, and through these means to increase the traffic, and the consequent dividends of Shareholders in the Company. With this object in view it is proposed to build immediately Two Ferry Steamers of a character for speed and convenience such as cannot fail to command the traffic. | In order to make tho basis of the Company as popular as possible the shares have been fixed at a low price, and it is the intention of tho promoters to reserve a ■certain number of shares for the residents, on the North Shore, irt tho Lake District, and at the Wade, and to use all efforts to induce every such resident to. become interested in the Company even though-In the smallest amount. Almost the half of the total capital required having been subscribed before the proposal was brought before the public, is an indication that no difficulty is experienced .in the mere obtaining of L Share holders, but the promoters chiefly aim at enlisting the interest of the many in preference to the capital of the few.'. On the most reliable data extending over the past traffic of both the winter and the summer months, the promoters of this Company are in a position to give the assurance that this project is one of the safest and most promising' that have been submitted to the public, and they have every confi dence that the traffic of the past is not one-fourth part of what the traffic will become when the ferry service will be properly conducted, and in boats adapted to the trade. It is expected that one, if not both of tho boats will be ready by the Ist of December. One shilling per share to be paid on making application ; one and sixpence on allotment; and. tho balance in calls of two and sixpence each to bo paid as the building of the boats proceeds. Forms of application for shares can be obtained from the Honorary Secretary,

It has a very large and in fluential body of shareholders distributed throughout the entire colony, who are themselves insurers to a very considerable amount, and consequently can influ ence a large business, thus adding to the security of the insured and the stability of the Company, the chief features of which are a liberal management, prompt payments, rate, moderate, and personal re sponsibility of a large body of shareholders. ■ Fire Insurance business will commence in Auckland and all the branches and agencies, on MONDAY, 2nd September, 1872, and the Marine business in the colony as early as possible ; and in Australia and Great Britain as soon as arrangements can be made. NORWICH UNION LIEE INSURANCE SOCIETY, Empowered by special Acts of Parliament, and by Royal Charter-in the reign of Queen Anne, to undertake all business connected with the Life Assurance, IS A PURELY MUTUAL OFFICE. 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 facf 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 i although apparently higher than some offices, assurers i 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 aU chances. 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. PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS. In this fffice it is anticipated that persons entering at 20 will be relieved from further premiums at 44 40 ~ „ ~ 60 50 „ „ „ 06 Medical Fees are paid by the Company, and there are no charges for Stamps, Policies, &c.

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 cases there is in tria earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weak ness. The sufferers are found in both sexes; tney 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 cannoli enjoy it.
