Important Public Notice- WOLEE'S AROMATIC &CHIE DAM SCHNAPPS, Registered under Trade Marks" Act, 28 Vie. No 9. 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 the consti tution, THE SCHIEDAM 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, The following reliable testimonials have been offered by the Australian Press: — Sydney Morning Herald. "In these da} _ 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 tha scientific cognoscenti that we have in this article a genuine extract which, taken in moderate qxiantity and under ordinarily healthy conditions of body, affords a 'beneficial stimulus to the animal functions ; and, even f taken in excess, leaves but a minimum of the in tvitable evils of abuse. "If it is necessary in the interests of the public to c&nounce the too common practice of manufacturing mxious compounds as wines and spirits it seems only ust to point to this meritorious exception." Tovm and Country Journal. * We have in these Schnapps a total absence of fusil oilwhich, combined with the great purity of all in grelients whence it is extracted, accounts for the unu sually healthy and invigorating quality which have alreidy rendered this latest addition to the alcoholic list so justly celebrated." Bell's Life in Sydney. "Ixperience has proved the value of Wolfe's Schie dam Aromatic Sc/Mia.pp.s as a stimulant at once in vigorating and harmless, and it may be used with much benefii by those requiring a pleasant and effective remedy. The medical officers of the Sydney Infirmary have t<sted its merits practically in various cases, and boar wiling testimony to its excellence, and we, there fore, fed no difficulty in recommending to the notice of our readers the Aromatic Schnapps, not only as a pure ami agreeable occasional beverage, but, what is of far mere importance, as a really pleasant medicine. 1 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 it. our wards. I have no hesitation in stating that I consider your Schnapps a most excellent Stimu lant __„ Murctic, 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." 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 John son, Govern ment Analytical Chemist. We have appointed Messrs L. D. Nathan & Co. Sub-Agents for the sale of Wolfe's Schnapps in Auck land, New Zealand.— M. Moss & Co., Sydney, Sole Agents for Australia and New Zealand. Auckland, New Zealand. I certify that I have carefully examined and analysed WoWs 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 cases 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.
