FRAUDULENT INVITATIONS OF SUPERIOR coNnopITtEs
Among the many dishonesties Of trade which
the moral sense Of the community is called upon
to suppress, we would particularly notice q most
pernicious and infamous practice adopted by un-
scrupulous dealers OF initiating and counterfeiting
the exterior appearance and precautionary lpbels
of popular drugs, med camenta, and other articles
of pei sonal consumption, and thns by seiaing up,
on the we'll acquired reputation ofnn enterprising
trader, lalming on most destructive and worthless
compounds, to the sore: detriment t:only Of the
consumer, out 70 the character OF the man Bho
has expended thousands OF dollars IN bringing the
genuine article into esteem and demand. These
petty larceny thieves are the best OF oil honorable
dealers ana traders ana the trade as much high
way ropoery as the violent appropriation Of tseir
nelghoors purse ;sln fact, they are beneath tie
burglar and highwayman IN dignlty--for these
latter felons exhibit bravery or recklessness Of
character In nowise distinguishing the mercantile
assassin who staos In the dark. And ought they
not be rewarded wfth punishment commensurate
with the cowardice OF their crime? We were led
to these remarks by accidentally observing spu-
rious counterfeit OF Udoipho Wolfe's Schfedam
Schnapps. The labels we're initiated perfectly,
with the slight addition OF few letters to plead
technical avoidance OF the law against counterfeit
ting; the bottles were very similar, and every
thing carefully prepared to impose upon careless
purchaser Now is not the man Hhoperpetrated
this fraud, felol, robber? Assuredly heis;
for, as Mr.. Wolfe has expended large sums to Bring
his genuine imported schnapps into popular de-
mand, that demand may be justly Considered
part Of his capital in trade, and fellow stealing
q part Of his reputation is as muchsof thief asS
he had stolen barrel of his schnapps IN bulk:.-
And to this crime he adds further one Of iefrau-
ding the community by giving them q rninons ar
ticle for the money they attended to e1pend for
commodityin which they had confidence. And.
further, every man who participates indirectly in
the fraud, by selling spurious articles Is as much
of an offender as the principal who niannsd The
imposition. The remedy of Mr.. Wolfe sbonId ia
in his holding all concerned up to taI Ieontemnt Of
the community thus swindIed nv their onarot;an.
and unconsciously imposed uno,, by A,o3r na,;o,,.
composition. We trust that Mr- sWoJsa M. n
tain names, not only Of the coneoetSrs II tbess
counterfeits, but os every man offerino tbemaSo,
sale. and then publish them to tia worid sEsor m.
own reputation and the health of the community
demand that all parties should be nailed to the
pillory of popular ex xecrations 80 $.
