" The following reliable testimonials have been ottered 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 fnnctions ; 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 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 ts 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 ciir wards. I have no hesitation in stating that I consider your Schnapps a tnont excellent Stimu lant w*A 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. LITTON TORBES, 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. Wo have appointed Messrs L. D.

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.

BROWN, BARRETT & CO. Auckland, Marcli 10,1872. Prospectus- P~B OSPECTUS OF THE Auckland and North Shore Steam IFerry Company (Limited). Registered under the Joint Stock Companies Acts. CAPITAL: £5000, IN 5000 Shares or £1 each.. Provisional Directors : John Leek (Chairman). W. 11. Kissling John Copland G. Sibbin R. T. Ebborn G. M. Rood Bankers: Bank of New Zealand Solicitor : W. L. Rees Hon. Secretary; pro tern : G. M. Reed. THE Promoters of the Auckland and North Shoro Steam Ferry Company aro impressed with the conviction generally shared by the community, that the Ferry Service with the North Shore might be conducted in a manner more con ducive to the public convenience. They bolieve 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 favourite 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 the Steam Ferry Company to primarily consult the convenience and comfort of the 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 the basis of the Company as popular as possible the shares have been fixed at a low price, and it is the intention of the promoters to reserve a certain number of shares for the residents on the North Shore, in the 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 Share holders, but the promoters chieliy 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 aro 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 the 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 the balance in calls of two and sixpence each to be paid as the building of the boats proceeds. .Forms of application for shares can be obtained from the Honorary Secretary,
