LOANS.

The extraordinary Sale, wide-spread popularity, and wonderful results of Wolfe's Schnapps prove in disputably that the introduction, of a perfectly put > beverage is appreciated by the Australian public. The medical profession being the most competent in science, and responsible in society, of all oUers to form a correct judgment of tbe medicinal and salutary properties of an article of this kind would not give then unsolicited testimonials in special commendation of Schiedam Auomatto Schvavvh were it a preparation of doubtful or even ordinary quality, nor unless they had proved its superior excellence and vahieWtneir own practice or experience. / s.-.75,. _ As a means of preventing the disagreeabPW|gl%!n dangerous effects produced upon the stf|£J<P al t et bowels by a change of water, or in theuse «*«.^- containing an infusion of decayed vegetable matters which so often produces that obstinate form of Fever and Ague which so frightfully undermines theconsti tnti°THE SCHIEDAM ABOMATIO 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 donbt 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 tha scientific cognoscenti that we have in this article a genuine extract which, taken in moderate quantity ana 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 list so justly celebrated." Bell's Life in Sydney. " ExDerience has proved the value of TVolfe'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. - i " I beg to state'that I have, with the permission of"?. Honorary Physicians, given your Schnapps to several patients in cur wards. I have no hesitation instating • that I consider your Schnapps a most excellent Stimu- • lant uacl 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 abov complaints. LITTON FORBES, Resident Physician." J Government Analytical Laboratory, Melbourne, March 15,1572. 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.

I certify that I have carefully examined and analysed Wolfe'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 case's 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.
