TMPERIAL SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS. Dr. Hassall's Report. The Analytical and Sanitary Institution, 54, Holborn Viaduct, E.C.. London, 9th May, 1877. Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sen 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. The results of tho analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that this spirit is of good Btrength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate aud agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps 53 a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H. Hassall, M.D., Author of " Food and itsJAdulteraticn Otto Hkhner, F.C.S., P lie Analyst. lp§^^s§ IbIPS Wm. Johnson's Report. Government Analytical Laboratory, Melbourne, 23rd July, 1877. Henri J. Hart, Esq. Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation that tho sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by yon to mvi 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 iniurious 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. Johnsox, 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.

No bottles are genuine unless bearing the Pro prietor's Signature. HAMILTON BROTHERS, Queen-street, WHOLESALE AGENTS. SoldEby Mr J. Edson, Chemist, Queen-street Mr A. G Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-street; Mr Robinbon, unemist, Par nell; Messrs Hill & Hudson, Victoria-street; Mr. B allwell, Otahuhu; Mr. Fallwell, and T. X .Gillman, Onehunga. Testimonials can he seen on application to the Proprietor, at his rcsidfice, top of Wake field-street. The strongest recommendnon for this me d cine is its own intrinsic worthas shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The best proof of this is to bo found in tho large number of testimonials received by the maker thankfully acknowledging the restoration of haalth experienced by nsing this panacea. At the request of those [already cured, the proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer" more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated diseases and averting threatening sick ness. The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &c, has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the ago. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give the Blood Restorora fair and impartial trial. And O>3 Praprietor would have it dis tinctly under Jtood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. ' Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the f cause of most sickness and pains. After a course I of this medicine, blood vessels—which hay become, as it were, choked up with unhealth; matter—become exhilirant with pure scarle life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en ire system. N.B,—Country Settlers will find in Hitchen 8 Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests ! 'olrts. allays F■■verp, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should bo without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr.HITCHENS,— Dear Sir,—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 ray; illness and cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed 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 husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and ita 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 us 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 a trial. 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 very gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefleld-straet "DETERS' LIVERY & BAIT STAB LES X TAURANGA.

LADIES, TAKE NOTE OF THIS !— Two important points should not be lost sight of in selecting. a Sewing Machine, First: Be not misled by long and extravagant puffs in the papers about Machines which are frequently made only to sell, and more frequently sold by those who, from their want of mechanical know ledge, can only parrot-like repeat the puff. 2nd: Beware of purchasing a Sewing Machine because it happens i;o be a few shillings cheaper, and have afterwards to pay dearly for it in worry, delay, and vexation.

S A Jj A M B THE OPPOSITION THOUGHT EASILY TO GET RID OF HIM, BUT UNFORTU NATELY FOR THEMSELVES, THEY FOUND OUT HE IS AS QTRONG AS A T lON 1! 1 WORKING jtj :< OF AUCKLAND : Will you calmly stand by and encourage the Opposition In their determined attempts to injure the man who haa been your friend for the last fourteen years. Yes. J. LEVY has proved hi mselt your friend in the truest sense of the word, for was he not solely the means by which you were enabled to obtain Ready-made Clothing here in Auckland at prices but slightly in advance for what they were made iv England for. Kis doing so did not please those who had been " fleecing " you, and many have been tbe efforts made to "shut" him up. But notwithstanding all, J. LEVY still knocks out. and haa seen the process of "whitewashing" applied to many of those who styled themselves your friends, whilst he feels that he himself stands out as a " brand plucked from the burning." And why is it thus ? J. LEVY at once openly confesses he owes it all to the strong support which he has received from the Working Classes, and would at this time especially dirct thnir attention to the fact that his WINTER STOCK for IS7B is now unpacked, and will defy competition, wbether as regard to style, durability, and tho LOW FIGURES at which they are marked. Just cast your eyes down the following list, and you will be astonished :— Mon' Hettvy Woollen Shirts (extra sizeß), 3s Sd —worfa 7s 6d Boys' and i rou'.hs' ditto, 2s Qv— worth 5a Coloured Mole jkins (a larve shipment daily ex pected), 4S 6D —worth 8s 6d Men's Galatea Jackets <lined with either wool or Italian cloth), |5s ||d —worth 25s Men's Tweed Trousers, 8s l!i>—worth 14 6d Trousers and Vests isuperior Mosgiel tweed) 158 ||d—fullivalue, 27s 6d Aberdeen Socks, per pair, Is—worth Is 93 White Shirts (large variety), 3s Bd—worth 6s 6d Overcoats (in Ulsters) from £| \a to £A 4S Boys' and Youths' Ulsters (any size), at a very low figure Collars, per box from 3d. 4Qs. Double-breasted Paget Suite; worth 755. " That licks you." When you have done so, you will be led to exclaim Is That So ! Is That So !! but what will you say when you are told you can get a Ciumean Shiut for 3^ Gd. One and all will remark "Well, LITTLE LEVY is not a bad sort, we will give him a call." Do so, my friends, and he will not di-appoint you. Just Opened—The American Unsurpas3ables, a new style of Paper Collar, which do not show the grease. Quite a novelty. Remember the old nddreea :— J.
