sCHNAPPS, was introduced into the ;Sorld under
the endorsement of four thousand leading mc,abcrs
OF the medical profession some twenty years aEo. its
proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly
escape the penalty attached 10 all new and useful
preparations He, therefore, enGenTcred to invest
With strongest possible safeguard against counter
feiters and to render all attempts TO pirate 1t dill
cult md dangerous. It was submitted to dtstin-
auIshed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by
them The purest spirit ever manufactured Its puri-
ty aad properties having thus ascertained. sum-
nes of the urticle wer. forwarded to ten thousand
physicians including a the leading practitioners IN
tue United States, for purposes OF experiment.

report OF the result, accompanied each specimen.
Four thousand of the most erniueut medical men IN
the Union promptly responded. Their opinions OF
the article were unanimously favorable. Such
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
the profession Of reliance could be placed on the
ordinary liquors of commerce, oil of>which were
moro or less adulterated. and therefore unfit for
medical ,,urposes The peculiar excellence and
strength Of the oi CT juniper. which formed one OF
the principal ingredients of tho schnapps, together
with m upalloyed character Of The alcoholic ele-
ment give it, in the estimation OF the faculty. q
marked superiority every other difusive sdnu'
liant as diure;ic tcnic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men of the HI CHEST rank wcro published in cou-
densed form. and enclosed With each bottle OF the

ness. Other precautions against fraud were also
adopted; patent was obtained for the article the
label was copyrighted oc siie OF tho prpprielors
autograph signature was attached to each label and
cever his numo aud that of the preparation were en-
Tossed on the bottles aud the corks were scaled With
b;s nr,vate sccI No article had ever been sold in
this country under the name Of Schnapps prior to
the Introduction of Wolfe's schiedam Arcmnhc
schnarps in 1851; and the label was deposited, as
his trade mark in the United States District Court
for the Southern District Of New York during that
gear.
It might be supposed By persons unacquain'ed
with the daring character of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation othonorable merchants ty vend'
ing deleter trash under their name, that the ro
tectons 80 carefully thrown around these Schnapps
would have precluded the introduchons and sase OF
counterfoits. They seem, however, only TO nave
stimulated the rlpacity Of impostors. The trade
mark of tn proprietor has been stolen; the ndorsc
ment which his Scbiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed BY mendacious humbugs; his labels and
bottles have been initiated, his advertisements para
phrase5, his circulars copied. and worse than sli
dehonorabe retailers after dsposing of the genuine
contouts of his bottles. have filled them up With
common ein the most deleIerious Of all Liquors. aud
thus made his name and brlnd cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession and the SICK
for whom tho Schiedam Aromatic schnapps Is pre-
scribed as remedy, are equally interes:et With the
proprietor in the detection and suppression Of these
neiarious practices. The genuine article, mapuac'
tured at the establishment Of the undersigned In
