TMPERIAL SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS. Dr. Hassall's Report. The. Analytical and Sanitary Institution, 5-1, 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 subjected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. . .. The results of the analysis, winch are be.fortli in a separate report, show that this spirit is ot good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces. of solid.matter in solution. It possesses a dehoato and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Halts Schiedam Schnapps is' a very superior article of its clais, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H. Hassall, M.D., Author of " Food and ifc) Adulteration. Otto Hehner, F.C.S., Public Analyst. Wm. Johnson's Report. Government Analytical Laboratory, 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 ana critical examination, the result of which enables me to btate that it is the Finest Sample, of Schnapps that has as yet come 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 Schnappj. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses. I have the honour to be, &c, (Signed) Wm. Johnson, Analytical Chemist to the Government of Victoria. This Pure Medical Spirit, Superior to any in the Market, and Lower in Price, is offered to the Public under the full conviction that it will supersede all others now in use.

No bottles are genuine unless bearing the Pro prietor's Signature. HAMILTON BROTHERS, Queen-street, WHOLESALE AGENTS. Sold by Mr J. Edson, Chemist, Queen-street; Mr A. G. Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-street; Mr Robin.ox, Chemist, Par nell : Messrs Hill & Hudson, Victoria-street; Mr. B allwell, Otahuhu ; Mr. Fallwell, and T. R .Gillman, Onehunga. Th.stiimonials can ,be seen on application to the Proprietor, at his residence, top of Wake field-street. The strongest recommendation for this medi cine is its own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The hjst proof of this is to be found in the large number of testimonials received by the maker thankfully acknowledging tho restoration of hsalth experienced by using this panacea. At the request of thoso already cured, the proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove a preat blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated diseases and averting threatening sick ness. , _ __~ The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &c, has long been felt as one of the .reatest calamities of tho age. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, aud freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give tho Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And '.h 3 Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, Sec. aro due entirely to tho medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of tho blood is tho cause of most sickness and pains. Altera course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it wero, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en ire system. ___ , , N.B,— Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays F vers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be •without it. _ ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1377. Mr. Hitchens,— Dear air,—l nave to thank you very much for the benefit I have received through using your valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning and guidance to others, would make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to be .lumbago. So far from being bene fitted by the attendance of medical men, I _rew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day my huaband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatured remarks to dissuade us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were tiken, I wag not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I havo to thank God that you were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enable mo onco more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakeflcld-stroet A MERICAN SEWING MACHINES THE LARGEST SALE IN AUSTRALIA. Reduced Price List. "THE HOME" SHUTTLE-LOCK-STITCH.

Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-electnc fluid governing the whole economy; any deficiency thereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail men's, such as . Indigestion Liver Complaints Neuralgia Sciatica Deafness Writer's Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Epilepsy Rheumatism Gout Constipation Local Debility General Debility - j Female Complaints! Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness . &c, &c, &c. This is no coniecture, but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that PULVERMACHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty vears'successful experience has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. The following i?J spontaneous and remark able :— "Auckland, November 26,1877. "Dear Sir.—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6i years I have not been free from it for one minute : and to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in which has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in reference to Pulvermacher's Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has been something wonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (it has been of such long standing that I never expected to get any better), and instead of my life been made miserable by these pains, I feel almost like another man. You are perfectly at liberty to publish this if you think fit, and perhaps it may be the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. "1 am, yours truly, "James Slator. "G.
