Dr. Hassall's Report. The Analytical and Sanitary Institution, Si, 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 subiected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. Tho results of the analysis, which are set forth In a separate report, show that thlß spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart a Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H.

Sir,—l have the honour to report fpr 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 state 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 Schnapps. 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.
