To the People of the Southern States:
WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE,
now SO widely knenn as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM
SC4NAPPS was in reduced into the world under
tho endorsement Of four thousand leading members
Of the medical profession some twenty years ago. its
proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly
escape tho penalty attached to all new and useful
preparations H, therefore, erdeavored 10 invest il
with strongest possible safeguard against counter
feiters, and 10 render all attempts to pirate it diff
cult and dangerous. It was submitted to dstin-
su'shcti chemists for analysis and pronounced by
them the purest spirit ever manufactured Its puri-
y and properties having been taus ascertained, sam.
pies of tho article wers forwarded 10 ten thousand
Physicians including all the leading practitioners in
tho United States, for purposes of experiment..
circular, requesting trial of the preparation and q
report Of The result, accompanied csch specimen.
Four thousand of the most eminent medical men i'll
the Union promptly responded. The:r opinions Of
the article unanimously favorable. Such q
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
the profession, as reliance could be placed on the
ordinary liquors of commerce, all OF which we're
moro or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for
medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and
strength Of The oi Of juniper which formed one OF
the principal Ingredients Of the schnaPps together
With an uralleyed character of the alcoholic Gle
ment give it. in the estimation Of the faculty, o
marked superiority every ether difusiye stinu-
laRt as O diure;ic, tenic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men of the highest rank were published in con-
densed form, and enclosed with each bottle OF the
Schnasps. as Of the guarantees of its genuine.
ness. Other precautions against fraud were also
adopted; patent obtained for the article, the
label copyrighted, fac sinle of the prsprelors
autograph signature was attached to each label and
cover hi, name and that of the preparation were en-
Tossed on the bottles and the cerks scaled with
his private seal. No article had over been sold in
this country under thc name Of Schnapps prior to
the introduction of wolfc's schiedam Aromatic
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
year.
It might be supposed By persons una"quainied
with the d lring character Of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation ohonorable merchants by vend-
ing deeterous trash under their name, that the hre-
tections carefully thrown around these Schnapps
would have precludea the intreductions and sale OF
counterfcts. They seem, however, only 10 have
stimulated tho rapacity Of inpostsrs. Tho trade
mark OF th, proprietor has been stelen the ndorse-
mont which his schicdam Aromatic schrapps alone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed by mendacious hunbuss; his labels and
bottles havo beer inflated. his advertisements PARA
phrascd, his circulars copied. and worse than ALL
dishonorablo retailers, after dispcsns OF the genuine
contouts OF his bottles, have led them up With
common pip the most dclc:erious of all liquors. and
thus made his namc ana brind 4 cover fac poison.
