To the People of the Southern States;
WHEN THE PURE MEDIGiN!L RESTORATIVE,
now so widely known as WoLFE'S sCHIEDAM
! sCaNAPPS, wes Introduced into the world under
the endorsement of four thousand leadira members
of the medical profession some twenty years ago, Its
proprietor IVES we'll that IL could not wholly
escapc the penalty attached to all pew and useful
preparations. He, therefore. cndeavored to invest ii
with strongest possible safeguard against counter
feiters and to render all attempts to pirate it diff
| cult and dangerous I. was submitted to disiin-
puished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by
them the purest spirit manufactured It's puri-
ty and properties having been thus ascertalned, sam
nles of the article were forwarded to ten thousand
physicians including all the leading practtoncrs IN
the United States, for purposes OF experiment
circular, requesting trial of the preparation ana
report of lhe result, accompanied each specimen.
| Four thousand of the most eminent medical men IN
| the Union promptly responded. Their opiuioas OF
the article were unanimously favorable. SUCH q
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
The profession no reliance could be placed on the
ordinary liquors of commerce. all OF Which were
more or less adulterated, and therefore UNFIT for
| medical purposes. Tho peculiar excellence and
strength of the oi of juniper. which formed or: OF
the principal ingredients Of the scbnapps, together
with an unalloycd Charachst of the alcoholic ele-
ment, give it. in the estimation of the frcrlty,
marked superiority every other diusive stinu-
| liant as diure ic, tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
mon of the highest rank were published in con-
densed form, and enclosed With each bottle OF the
schnapps. one Of the guarantees OF its genuine
neus. Other precautions against fraud were also
adopted; patent obtained for tie article, the
label was copyrighted at sn,ie OF the propIle'ors

cover, his name and t.t of the preparation were tm-
Losscd on he bottles and The corks were sealed with
his private seal No article had ever been sold in
this country under the name Of Schnapps prior to
the introduction of Wolfo's Schiedam Aromatic
schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited, as

It might be supposed by persons una quainied

would have procluded the introduclio2s and sale o
counterse;ts. They eceE, however. only to have
stimulated the r2pacity of mpostors. The trade
