"ICH DIEN."

THE PRINCE OP WALES' MOTTO

Under a plume of ostrich feathers the above motto was first found on a helmet of the King of Bohemia, after he was killed at tho battle of Cressy, at which he sorved as a volunteer in tho French army. Edward tho Black Prince, in respect of his father, Edward 111., who commanded that day, though the prince won the battle, adopted the motto, which has since been worn with the feathers by the heirs to the crown of England. The Prince of Wales is a firm believer in the salutory virtues of Wolfe's Schnapps, he seldom drinks any other spirit, and to this cause he attributes his immunity from illness during the last few years. In Australasia it is absolutely necessary to caution the public against imitations, and old bottles refilled with bad gin ' and sold by the unscrupulous as Wolfe's Schnapps. Buy whole bottles, and when they are empty break them ; by so doing you will be also serving, and in a worthy way, too, -• yourself, serving- the public, your fellow-men, I and serving the proprietors of Wolfe's J Schnapps, who have well and faithfully J served the public for over half a century. 3
