Important Public Notice. WOLFE'S AROMATIC SCHIE- D\M SCHNAPPS, Registered under "TradeMarks" Act, 23Vic. Noo. 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 Schiedvm Akomatic Schsakps 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 ana bowels by a change of water, or in the use of water containing an infusion of decayed vegetable matter, which 80 often produces that obstinate form of Feveb and Ague which so frightfully undermines the consti- UU°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 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 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 :nvigorating quality which have already rendered this latest addition to the alcoholic st so justly celebrated." Bell's Life in Sidney. \ " Experience has proved the value of Wolfe s Sclne ! 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. "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 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 other Spirits in the treatment of the above comp am ITTON poREES, Resident Physician., ( Government Analytical Laboratory, Melbourne, March 15,18 1 2. I have examined a sample of Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps submitted to me for analysis. J' rom the examination I conclude that this spirit is perfectly free from Fusil 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 John so.v, 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. Moms & Co., Sydney, Sole Agents for Australia and New Zealand. Auckland, New Zealand. T certify that I have carefully examined and analysed Wolf's A romalic Schnapps, and find the sample given me to he 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 thi.s 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. — Chaiu/eh J.'\ Golvhuim', M.D., June 20,1672.

Medical, A PARADOX. TO SUFFERERS. Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. 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 AX 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 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 tremulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious and undecided, the tatcs 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 ' 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 be met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religion,'amplemeans, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. Why is this? What cause has operated to change the cheerful, active, 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 may be either mental or physical, or both combined. Attempts to cure nervousness by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygenic means, such as exercise in the 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 be found by carefully perusing the following Work :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. id. Nervous Debility : Its Cause and Cure.

To Purify the Blood.— These Pills have been placed by the common consent of mankind at the head of all remedies for removing obnoxious poisons from the blood, and cleansing all the tissues of the body' They have saved thousands year after year from falling a sacrifice to the effects of "dyspepsia, dysentery, diarrhoea, constipation, liver complaints, &c," a fact attested by myriads of witnesses. Excessive weakness and debility, the warnings of decreasing organic energy and vital decay, are restored and reanimated with vigour and healthful action in every organ throughout the system by the restorative and exhilirating influence of this medicine. Female Complaints, -All disorders of the sex, and diseases in every crisis perilous to the life and health of woman, youthful or aged, married or single, maybe radically and quickly cured without risk or trouble by a few doses of these Pills, taken according to the printed directions. Indigestion with Langoivr and Want of Energy. — When taking these Pills rub Holloway's celebrated Ointment over the pit of the stomach, and over the regions of the liver, on the right side under the ribs' and you will at once experience a change for the better in your digestion, spirits, appetite, strength, and'; energy. „ The improvement, though L it may be gradual will be thorough and lasting. Dropsy. -The efficacy of Holloway's Pills in dropsy is extraordinary. They act with such peculiar effect upon the system, that the fluids arising from this direful disease are imperceptibly carried off and pre vented from any further accumulation. The sufferer regains a buoyancy of spirits, and rejoices in a com pletely renovated constitution ; but it is indispensably necessary tint the Ointment should be most effectually rubbed into the complaining parts. Stomach, Liccr, Kidneys, and BoweU. —Those who suffer from bile and liver complaints should try the effects of this valuable remedy, a few doses of which will make the sufferer feel elastic and vigorous, re moving all impurities, giving a healthy action to the Liver; if bilious attacks be allowed to continue, serious i! casualties may arise, and the sufferer be consigned to a bed of sickness. In all disorders of the kidneys the Ointment should be well rubbed into the back once or twice a day : and the Pills, acting in unison, will cura any complaint arising from these organs. Puffy,—Shortness of Breath with Weakness.— Veiy bad symptoms, which if not corrected, may tend to some serious disorders of the heart, or other vital organs. Eat moderately of solids, take six Pills nightly for some little time ; take plenty of fresh air with moderate exercise, and the human machinery will be quickly restored to health and vigour. Try this but for three days only, and the result will be marvellous. Complaints incident to Children.— All complaints of children may soon be cured if care be taken to purify their blood, correct the action of the liver, and cleanse the stomach and bowels : a few doses of these famous Pills will immediately have the desired effect, par ticularly if parents be careful in not allowing them to eat of things which they know would be injurious to themselves.
