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 therf 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. .

Sydwtl Monuwj 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 assuredly 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 btit a minimum of the in evitable evils of abuse. "Ifit is necessary in the interests'Of the public tc denounce the too common practice of manufacturing noxious compounds as wines and spirits it seems onlj ust to point to this meritorious exception.' i , ; p., i ' .Tovm and Country Journal. "We have in these Schnapps a total absence of fusi oil which, combined with the great purity of. all in eredients whence it is extracted, accounts for the unu sually.healthy and invigorating quality which havi already rendered this latest addition to the alooholi.

A P A B A. D 0 X, TO SUFFERERS. Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. . Why. t is N'crvo usiwss ?— 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—nebvous- NE3S IS AN UNNATURAL CONDITION OF THE NJSEYOUS 'system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompa nied Mrith considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesn and loss of strength; but in most cases there is m tne 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 otner 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 tomes experiences a complete trernulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded,! ■ .the memory fails, tne judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious and undecided, the tates vitiated, the imagination broods , upon unpleasant topics; the spirits are either very low or very excited, the ordinary duties of life becdmo burdensome, society is shunned and business ne glected. , A Strange Spectacle—lt is certainly strange, but not the less truo, 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, religioh/ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless i are of tna nervousness above described; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. Why is this. What cause has operated to change the ' cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, i and uncomplaining youth into the. unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicious,. and gloomy misanthrope ?
