southern district Of New York during that
year.
Itnight be supposed BY persons unae-
quainted with the daring character Of the
orsble merchants by vending deleterioas
4 trash under their name thu. the projections
SO carefully thrown around the schnapps
would have precuded the introduction and
sale Of counterfeits. They seem, however,
only to have stimulated the rapacity Of i'm.
posters. The trade mark Of the proprietor
has been stolen; the endorsement which his
Schiedam aromatic schnapps alone received
from the medical profession has been claimed
by msndacious humbugs; his labels aud bot
ties have been initiated, his advertisements
paraphrnsed, his circulars copied, and, worse
than all, dishonorable retailers, after dis
posing OF the genuine contents Of his bot.
ties, have filed them up with common gin,
the most deleterious Of all liquors, and thus
made his name and brand cover for poi
son.
The public, the medical profession, and
the sick, for whom the Schiedam aromatic
schnapps is prescribed " q remedy, are
equally Interested with the proprietor in the
detection and suppression Of these nefar,ous
practices. The genuine article, manufsc
tured at the establishment Of the under
signed in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled
from barley Of the finest quality, and hu-
OF Italian juniper Of unequalled purity. BY
process unknown in the preparation Of any
other liquor, it is freed from every serid and
corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the
leading firms in many Of the Southern and
Western cities Of the sale OF cheap imta-
tons OF the Schicdaln aromatic schnapps in
those markets; and travellers who are in the
b .blt Of using IL 1s an sntidote TO the bane-
tai influence of unwholesume river water
testify that cheap gin, put up in Schledam
bottles, is frequently palmed of npon the
unSary. The agents Of the undersigned
have been requested to institute inquiries on
the subject, and to forward ~ him the names
OF such parties as tho, may ascertain TO be
engaged in the atrocious system OF dccep-
ton. la conclusion, the undersigned would
say that he has produced, from under the
hands Of tho most distinguished men Of
science in America, proofs unanswerablc Of
the purity and medicinal excellence Of the
Schiodam aromatic schnapps; that be has
expended many thousand dollars in surround
ingit with guarantees and safeguards, which

himself against fraudulent limitations; that
Le has shown it to be the only liquor in the
world that can be uniformly depended upon
rs unadultcrated; that he has challenged in
vestigation, analysis, comparison, and ex-
pertinent in nj. its forms, and from every
deal the preparation which bears his name,
seal, and trade mark has come off triumph
art. He, therefore, feels it \ duty he owes
to his fellow citizens generally, to the medi-
cal profession, and the sick, To denouncc and
expose the charlAtans who counterfeit these
evidences Of identity, and he calls upon the
press and the public to aid him in his efforts
to remedy so great an evil.
