FRAUDULENT INVITATIONS OF SUPERIOR couMopITIEs
Among the many dishonesties Of trade which 2.
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 counterfeitinr
the exterior appearance and precautionary labels
of popular drugs, med camenta, and other afficlesS
of personal consumption, and thus by seizina u1o-
on the well acquired reputation of an enterprisina
trader palming off most destructive and worthless
compounds, to the sore detriment not oiiiy ofths Z
consumer but to the character Of the man who
has expended thousands Of dollars in bringing the
genuine article into esteem and demand Pbese Z
petty larceny thieves are the best of all honorable
dealers and traders, and the trade is as much hirf.
wny robbery as the violent appropriation ftheir
neighbor's PURSE in fact they are beneaths sthes
burglar and highwayman in dignity-for thesss,
latter feons exhibit bravery or recklessnessspf.S
character in nowse Distinguishing the mercantile
assassin who stabs in the dark. And ought they
not be rewarded with a punishment commensurate
|
to these remarks by accidentally observing aspu-
rious counterfeit Of Udolpho Wolfes Sehiedam :.
Schnapps The labels were initiated perfectly,
with the slight addition of few letters to .pieads
technical avoidance Of the law against counterfeit
ting; the bottles were very sirnilar, and every
thing carefully prepared to impose upon a careless
purchaser Now is not the man who perpetrated
this fraud, felon, robber? Assuredly :heis;
for, as MIR. Wolfe has expended large Sums to bring
his genuine imported schhapps into popular de-.
mand, that demand may be justly considered a
part of his capital in trade, and fellow stealing
part Of his reputation is as much of thiet ash,
he had stolen barrel of his schnapps in bulk
And to this crime he adds a further one Of defrnu
ding the community by giving them asr6inousar
ticle 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 tnuoh
of an offender rs the principal who planned the p
imposition. The remedy Of Mr Wolfe should lie
in his holding all concerned up to the contempt of
the community thus swinded by their operationSssg
and unconsciously imposed upon by their no xiouss
composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe swiitob-;
tain names, not only of, the coueootors of thesee
counterfets, but of every man offering them for
sale, aud then publish them to the world :5Sor;liis
own reputation and the health of the cominnnitysa
demand that all parties should be nailed TO the
pillory Of popular execration. - .s.st

Some years since gentleman Of this city [Udol-

catedarticle Of gin, which was highly approved
by professional gentlemen as superior tonie and
deobstruent, and the knowledge Of Which he
by advertisement and otherwise, disseminated
throughout the country. So soon MS 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 ho
had expended, they ses abont forging his labels
and palming off upon the people detestabls and
poisonous compounds which they have the hardi-
hood to call "Schiedam schnapps1 y In some ms
stances they have gone 50 far as to- put Wolfas

guard Consumers should be sure that they pur-.
chase the genuine article, or else their health may
be irreparably injured by using the horrible stuff

think it duty which Mr. Wolfe owes tofhiipssff
and the community to publish, by name, abe rms,

not permit his moJesty TO hold him back. from
