TMPERIAL SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS. De. Hassall's Report. The Analytical and Sanitary Institution, 54, Holborn Viaduct, E.C., London, 9th May, 1877. Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have sutriected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which r.re set rprfcn in a separate report, show that this spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate ar.d agreeable aroma and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Harts Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior articio of its class, is well purified, and quite Kenuine. (Signed) Arthur H.

Government Analytical Laboratory, u~~-. Melbourne, 23rd July, 1877. Henri J. Hart, Esq. Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by you to me has been sub mitted to a searching chemical analysis and critical examination, the result, of which enables me to htato that it is the Finest Sample of Schnapps that has as yet como under my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and is absolutely free from any. trace of fusil or other injurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may bo advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses. I have the honour to be, &c, (Signed) Wm. JonKflON, Analytical Chemist to the Government of Victoria.
