FRAUDULENT INVITATIONS OF SUPERIOR coMMoDIT1Es
Among the many dishonesties of trade which
the moral sense of the community is called upon
to suppress, we would particularly notice most
pernicious and infamous practice adopted BY un.
scrupulous dealers of initiating and counterfeiting
the exterior appearance and precautionary labels
of popular drugs, med camenta, and other articles
of personal consumption, and thus, by geiaing up.
on the well acquired reputation Of an enterprising
trader, palmng off most destructive and WORTHLESS
compounds, to the sore detriment not only of the
consumer, but to the character Of the man who
has expended thousands of dollars in bringing the
genuine article into esteem and demand These
petty larceny thieves are the best of all honorable
dealers and traders, and the trade is as muchhigh-
way robbery as; the violent appropriation oftheir
neighbors purse in fact, they. are beDeatf the
burglar and bighwayman in dignity-for theao
latter felons exhibit q bravery. or reckessness Of
character in nowise Distinguishing the mercantile
assassin who stabs in the dar.s And ought they
not be rewarded with punishment commensurate
with the cowardice Of their crimef We we're led
to these remarks by accidentally obsergingsa spu,
rious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfe'a schiedam
Schnapps. The labels were initiated perfectly
with the slight addition of few letters to plead
technical avoidance of the law against counferfei
ting; the bottles were very similar, and every
thing carefully prepared to impose upon q careless
purchaser. Now is not the man who perpetrated
this fraud, felon, a robber? Assuredly he.is;
for, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring
his genuine imported schnapps into popular de-
mand, that demand may be Justly considered a
part of his reputation Is as much, Of q thiefasR

tice for the money they intended to expend for
commodity in 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 planned the
imposition. The remedy Of Mr.. Wolfe should lie
in his holding all concerned up to the contempt Of
the community thus swindled by their operations,
and unconsciousy imposed upon BY their noyions
composition We trust that Mr. Wolfe will Oh.

counterfeits but o. every man Offering them for

pillory of popular execraton.

AN INFAMOUS BUsINEss.-When an e1ternrisinp
man strikes out new business to the ;estabiish-
ment of which he gives his industry, time; talents
and pecupiary means, can anything be more CON
temptible than to have another steal I'M and under
specious pretexts, hold out to the public an inferi
or article and endeavor to obtain their patronage.
Pray, what difference is there, SO far as the hon
esty Of the thing Is concerned, between purloin-
ing the business by which citizent hopes to make
his bread and stealing the bread itself T. A COM
mon thief, if he takes without leave, however hun-
CRY, loaf Of bread from bakers shop, is appre-
hended and condemned to the peuitentiary For dsr-
ingin surreptitious manner to apease his appe.
tite; but put q respectable looking cont on his
back and few: dollars in his pocket and he may.
with mpunity, nay,s even with the applause Of his
fellows, by knavery, forgery or other Infamous
means, take the business Of an honest man firm
him, and gounscathed Of justice. this is#ronE.
Some years since gentleman Of thistcitY {Udol-,
pho Wolfe) introduced to the United Statesa melis
Gated article Of gin, which was highly approved
by professional gentlemen as o superior tonic. and
deobsruent and the .knowledge sof which he,
by advertisement and otherwise, disseminated
throughout the country. So soon sas tricksters,
who pass in the business community as honest
men, saw that Mr.. Wolfe was likely TO have hand
some returns for the time and money which he
had expended, they set, about forging, hisiabsls
and palming off upon the-people detestable and
poisonous, compounds which they have tkshardi-
hood to call aScbiedam sehnapps.n In sonae.in-
stances they have gone SO far as to sput Wolfe's
uame to their yillaipous liquids. As this horde
are growing bold in their rascalitles itis timethe
public in town and country were pnt upon their
guard Consumers should be sure that they pur-
chase the genuine article, or else their health may
be irreparably injured by using the horibls stnff
that unscrupulous men, because they can, buy it
cheap, will offer as the genuine article. Pure
Schiedam Schnapps can only be obtained at the
stores of respectable INGREDIENTS and druggists,yin
town and country, and At the establishment Of
Udolpho Wolfe, Nos. 48, 20 and % Beaver Greet,
in this city where it is gotten up exclusiysly.We
think it a duty which Mr.. Wolfe owes to himself
and the community 70 publish, by name, the ras-
calls who are thus attempting to defroud both him
and those who would be his customers. He should
not permit his mcdesty to hold him back from
making so righteous an expose So
