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 Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps 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 and bowels by a change of water, or in the use of water containing an infusion of decayed vegetable matter, which so often produces that obstinate form of Fever and Ague which so frightfully undermines theconsti- TJk»-SCaiEDAM 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. . -i,.., . ' 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. "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." ' Toicn 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." , 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 dases, 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- Unt 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 a jjrjypQjj FORBES, 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. —(Sighed) William Johnson,. Govern ment Analytical Chemist. We have appointed Messrs L. D.

This Company is being 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.

If, however, even £C 0 per ton be realised for the SheU, 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 voyage.

What is Nervousness ?— Various answers might be I given to tills question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nevousncss 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, 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.
