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, which arc eet forth 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 possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's 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 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 resultof 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, Sec, (Signed) War. 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.

"Vital energy, it is well known, deoends upon the normal functions of the-nervo-eleot.rio fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency thereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail ments, 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 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 yca-'s' successful exnerisnee has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even ,in cases [.defying ordinary treat ment. The following is spontaneous and remark able :— " Auckland, November 26,1877. "Dear Sir,—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6_ 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 timo 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 f'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 Slator. " G.
