TMPERIAL SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS. I Dr. II ass all's Report. The Analytical and Sanitary Institution, 54, Hoiborn Viaduct, r'..C, Londoa. 9th May, 1877. Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. Wo have subjected a sample oi' the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that this .pint 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 dhd mild taste. Mr. Harts Schiedam Schnapps isa very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuice. (Signed) Arthur H.

Sir,—l have tho 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 state that it is tho Finest Sample of Schnapps that has as yet come under my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and ia absolutely free from any trace of fusil or other iniurioua 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 tho honour to bo, &c, (Signed) Wm. Johnson, Analytical Chemist to the Government of Victoria.

The people are now reauested to give tho Blood Restorera fair and impartial trial. And '.he Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing nuri. tying, and invigorating system. '■-■"• Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the • cause or most sickness and pains. After a course • of this medicine, blood vessels—which have ■ become, as it were, 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. I N.B,—Country Settlers will find in Hitchens . Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute I for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers • and bniids up the system. Children take it wit_ , wo- derf nl results. No household should be ) without it. > • ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. » Tle following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure:— Rokeby-street, Auckland, I „ _ Ist December, 1877. 1 Mr. Hitchens,— Dear riir,—l have 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 aco I was takt n ill with pains in the back, sup po-ed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fitted by the attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day my 'n__band 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 ua _ 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 atrial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were taken, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enable me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours every gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-straet /1A LVA N I S'EfD IRON-WORKS S. PARKER, MANUFACTURER of GALVANIZED IRON RIDGING, SPOUTING, PIPING.
