Prince Henry of the Netherlands, who was married, on the 24th of August to the Princess Marie of Prussia, is one of the richest princes in the world. He is the pro prietor of a silver mine in America which secures him a princely annual revenue. He is also iv possession of many public securi ties, especially Dutch and Russian stocks. He is a great shareholder in Dutch naviga tion and banking companies, and, moreover he has 99 landed estates in Holland and a number of estates abroad. The reason for

his having only 99 estates in Holland is that a Dutch law prohibits anyone besides the king being the owner of a hundred or more.

Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland ', Omnibus Driver, 21 years resident, of I Long-standing Rheumatism. I Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had suffered severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and waa unable to lie except in one position. Day and night I waß full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence my general health was also materially iniured I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism and its attendant evils, in every shape and form and my life was almost a burden to me. Itr ie every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any reliof whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very cod siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in bottle of your Blood Restorer. I confess that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. I adhered strictly to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my former self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise. I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it is quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, Henry Maiden. To H. E. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland. CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. „ DR. BRIGHT"? PHOSPHODYNE!.

The Analytical and Sanitary In; citation 54 Holborn Viaduct, EX., London, 9th May, 1877. Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sen nappe, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have subiected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a aeparate 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 and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart'E Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H. Hassall, M.D. Authorot "Food Hienkr, F.C.S. P Wm. Johnson's Report. " Government Analytical Laboratory, „ Melbourne, 23rd July, 1877. Henri J. Hart, Esq. . Sir »—, I have the honour to report for your in rormation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by you to mo 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 isabsolutely free from any trace of fusil or other iniurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt vi 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. ~ TWs Pure Medical Spirit, Superior to any n the Market, and Lower in Price, is offered to the Public under the full conviction that it will sn P.ersede all others now in use.
