Four thousand of the mos! eminent medical mrn in
the Uuion promptly responded. Thcr opinions OF
the article were unanimously favorable. Such
preparation, they said hal loar been wanted by
the profession as no reliance could be placed on tho
ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were
more or less adulterated. and therefore unit for

marked superiority over every other difusre shmu-
liant as 4 durcic, tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men Of the highest rank were published in con-
densed FORM and enclosed with each bottle oil the

with the d,ring character Of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation ofhonorablc merchants by Veno-
ing deleterous trash under their namc that the Iro
tectons 50 carefully thrown around these Schnapps
would have precludcd tho introduciions AMI sale Oh
counterfeits. They seem, however, only TO nave
stimulated the rapacity of impostor'. The trade
mark of tn; proprietor has been stolen; the ndorsc
mont which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and
bottles have been inflated his advertisements para-

dishonorabe retailers after dsposng OF genuine
contents Of his bottles, have filed them up witn
common eip the most deloorious of all liquors, and
thus made his name and brlnd cover for poison
The public, the medical profession and The SICK
fer whom the schiedam Aromatic schnapps is pre-
scrbcd as remedy, are equally intercsei with the
proprietor in the detection and suppression OF these
ne.arious practices. Tho genuine article, manu'ac'
