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 ehr-mical analysis and examination. ~ ~ The results of the analysis, which are set fortn 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 pobsesscs v delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Harts Schiedam Pchnapp3 is' a very superior article of its class, is well purified, ami quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H.

Hart, Esq. Sir,—l havo 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 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 mult 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.

Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-electric fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency thereof in the system manifests itself, according to tho locality, by a variety of troublesome ail menl 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 Female Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness &c. &c, &c. This is no conjecture, but an established scientific fact, and it must bo admitted that PULVERMACHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this e'eelrical deficiency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments refencd to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty yeava'successful exnerionce has proved tho marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even gin cases gdofying ordinary treat ment. Tho following is spontaneous and remark able :— " Auckland, November 26,1877. "Dear Sir,— 1 have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6A years I have not been free from it for one minute: anil to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia of tho Bladder set iH 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 t^een 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 SLATOK. "G.
