Wolfe's Schnapps is now occupying the place held in past years by inferior brands of geneva, the medical profession testifying to its excellence over these and other adulterated spirits, including French brandy, in no less than TEN THOUSAND LETTERS, which are in the possession of the manufacturer, all certifying to its perfect purity and marked superiority over every other stimulant as a diuretic, tonic, and restorative. The Resident Physician of the Sydney Infirmary says :—" I have no hesitation, in statingthat I consider your Schnapps a most excellent stimulant and diuretic." The Government Analytical Chemist. Melbourne, says :—As a sample of hollands gin, I do not think it can be surpassed. It may be recommended for use in hospital and private practice as a good aromatic stimulant" * CAUTION.
