The result hsJP r>een something wonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left mo 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.

" The results of the analysis, which are set 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 .i delicate and agreeable i aroma, aud a pure and mild taste. Mr. Harts Schiedam Schnapps is' a A-ery superior article of it 3 class, is well purified, and quite genuine.
