To tie People Of the Southern States:
When the pure medicinal restorative, now so
widely known as Woltes Scliedam SchnApps, was
introduced into the world under lhe endorsement of
four thousand leading members 0: the medical
profession some 20 years ago, its proprietor was
we'll aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached to all new and useful prepara-
lions. He, therefore, endeayored to invest it with
strongest possible safeguard against counerfeiters,
and TO render all attempts to pirate it difficult and
dangerous. IL submitted 10 distinguished
chemists for anal ysis and pronounced by them the
puresl spirit ever manufactured. Its purity and
properties having been thus asccrrained, samples
Of the article were forwarded TO ten thousand phy-
sicians, including all the leading practitioners in
the United States, for purposes OF experiment.
circular requesting trial of the preparation and
IL report of the result, accompanied each specimen.
| Four thousand of the most eminent medical men
in The Union promptly responded. Their opin-
! ions of the article were unanimously favorable.
Such apreparaiion they said, had long been wanted
by the profession, as no reliance could be placed
on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which
we're more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit
for medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and
strength of tile oil of juniper, which formed one
of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to-
ceher with an unalloyed character Of the alcohol
ic element give it, in the estimation OF the faculty,
a marked superiority over every other ditfusiyc
stimuant ms a duretic tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men Of the highest rank were published i'll q con-
,,ensed form and enclosed with each bottle Of the
Schpapps, as Of the guarantees of its genuine
