FRAUDULENT INVITATIONS OF SUPERIOR CosiHopIriHss &,
Among the many dishonesties of trade which
the moral sense of the community is called unon
to suppress, we would particularly notice a most
pernicious and Infamous practice adopted by nm
scrupulous dealers Of initiating aud counterfeitine
the exterior appearance and precautionary labels
of popular drugs, med camenta, and other articles
of personal consumption and thus, by seizine up
on the we'll acquired reputation of an enterprsine
trader, palming off most destructive andworthless
compounds, to the sore detriment not only ofsthe
consumer, but to the character # the mar. 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 much high
way robbery as the violent appropriation of their
neighbor's purse in fact, they are beneath the
burglar and highwayman in dinity-for these
latter felons exhibit bravery or recklessness Of
character in nowise Distinguishing the mercantile
assassin who stabs in the dark. And ought they
not be rewarded with q punishment commensurate
with the cowardice of their crime? We were leds,
rious counterfeit Of Udolpho Wolfs,s SehiedaIn
Schnapps. The labels were inflated perfectly, =
with the slight addition Of few letters TO, plead
technical avoidance Of the law against counterfei-
ting; the bottles were very similar, and every
thing carefully prepared 10 impose upon careless
purchaser. Now is not the man who perpetruted
this fraud, felon, o 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 o
part of his capital in trade and afellow stealing
part of lis reputation is as much of. o thiefasR

And to this crime he adds further one OF lefraiis

ticle for the money they intended to eIpend fora
commodity in which they had confidence. And.
further, every man who participates indirectly in
the fraud. by selling spurious articles is as nuchS
of an offender rs the principal who planned the
imposition. The remedy Of Mr.. Wolfe should lie
in his holding all concerned up to the Contempt on
the community thus swindled. by their operations,
and unconsciously imposed upon by their noxious
composition. Wstrust that aIr. Wolfe viii Oh.

counterfeits, but oc every man Offering them for

own reputation and the health Of the community

pillory Of popular exccration. 3 g. Il; = =
