This Company is beincr formed for the purpose of purchasing and' fitting out two or more vessels to en gage in the Pearl Fishery and collecting other articles in Torres Straits and elsewhere. This Fishery ha within the last few months become exceedingly lucra^ tive, and several gentlemen in Australia have made large sums of money by sending small vessels to the North Coast of Australia to procure the Mother-of- Pearl Shell, which has been sold in Sydney at £200 per ton If, however, even £00 per ton be realised for the Shell, and the Pearls collected from the Shell be sold separately, it will pay exceedingly well. The vessels and outfit will be insured, to protect the Company against any unforseen accident, and the promoters have every hope of a successful voyage. The crew will work on lays, as on the whaling vessels, to secure the utmost exertion on their part to produce success. The expedition will be in charge of a trust worthy Master Mariner connected with this port, and a well-known gentleman acquainted with the language of the natives and the coast will accompany the expedition, and act as supercargo to take charge of all goods for the purpose of trading, and also will take a strict account of everything collected during the YOVflffC Applications for shares to be made at the office of the Secretary, 32, Insurance Bu^ di T % LAYTON> Secretary pro tern. xmporoaii v jt v uuu xi v/ aw WOLPR'S AROMATIC &CHIE- D4.M SCHNAPPS, Registered under "TradeMarks" Act, 28 Vie.

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 pxiblic. 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 snperior excellence and value in their own prastice 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 prodiices that obstinate form of Fever and Ague which so frightfully undermines the consti tUtl0 THE SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS will be found absolutely infallible, while in cases of Dropsy.

The following reliable testimonials have been offered by the Australian Press:— Sydney Morniwj Herald. "In these days wlien 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 3 Aromatic Schiedam SkKnapps: 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 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 invigorating quality which have already rendered this latest addition to the alcoholic ist so justly celebrated." BM'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 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 complaints itton FOEBEg> Eesident 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 perjectly 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.

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, lohs 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; 9 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 tates vitiated, the imagination broods upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are either very low or vex-y excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned and business ne- A Strange Spectacle.— -It 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, ample means, 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. Attempt* 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 ah-, 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 ? ThtiAnbieer-KiU. be found by carefully perusing the following Work :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. 4d.

TXOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT., Scorbutic Eruptions, as Sore Heads and Scrofulous Swellings.— lf this powerful Ointment be well rubbed' into the parts affected all skin disease will be speedily overcome. It acts not by repression, but repulsion. It enters the system as salt enters meat, and operates not locally only, but constitutionally purifying. the j whole system, neutralizing all depraved humours, and effecting a radical and complete cure. The Pills should be taken as an auxiliary to the Ointment, they are so prepared as to act in unison with it, - facilitating and confirming the conquest of the disease. • Diptheria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quirisey. —The above complaints have for twenty years been treated \ with Holloway's Ointment and Pills with -perfect success. The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that these ■ often fatal diseases are more I easily cured by these medicines than even the common ... sore tnroat, if taken in time. Tlie Kidneys, Stone mid Gravel. —ln these complaints '• the Ointment almost acts like a charm, pro- j viding it is very effectually nibbed over the regions of the kidneys, which it will penetrate and give almost immediate relief, while the Pills should be taken : according to the printed directions, when the most, : extraordinary cures may be effected by this means. Bad Legs, Bad Breasts, Scrofulous Sores, and Glandular Svjcllinys. —ln such cases the Ointment' :> operates surely'and with a rapidity that resembles. . magic. It should be rubbed into the parts affected after they have been fomented with luke warm water. The purifying and curative powers of this marvellous unguent have never failed. An old sore, wound, or ulcer always yields to its influence, and in cases of bad breasts, or milk fevers, its action is wonderful ,; Glandular swellings may soon be reduced by following the printed directions. The Action of the Heart-—Dropsy.— The last named disease is commonly preceded by irregular action of ; j the heart, and difficult respiration ; which symptoms are always severe, and ever go from bad to worse unless proper means of cure are resorted to. In Holloway's unrivalled Ointment and Pills the dropsical patient ~. will ever find succour ; the present relief derived from , the use of these remedies is marvellously quick, is and perseverance in- the steady application.:; of this famous Ointment invariably results in' a cure.
