To the People of the Southern States:
WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE,
now so widely known as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM
SC4NAPPS, was in -oduced into the world under
the endorsement of four thousand leading members
of the medical procession some twenty years ago, its
proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly
escape tho reaaity attached to all new and useful
preparations. h. therefore, endeavored to invest IL
with strongest possible safeauar1 against counter
feiers and to lender all attempts to pirate it diff
cult and dangerous. It was submitted to d's'in'
su,shed chemists for analysis, and pronounced By
them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its puri-
ty and properties having peen thus ertained sam
pies of the article wera forwarded to ten thousand
physicians including all the leading practitioners i'll
tue United States, for purposes OF experiment a
circular, requesting trial ct the preparation and
report OF the result, accompanied each specimen
Four thousand O. the most eminent medical men in
the Urion promptly responded Their opinions of
the article were unanimously favorable. Such
preparation, they said, hal long been wanted by
The profession as reliance could be placed on the
oriin?ry liquors of commerce al! OF which were
more CT less adui;erated, and therefore unat for
medical purposes. The peculiar ex ellence and
strength OF the oil of juniper which formed one OF
the principal ingredients Of the Schnapps together
with in unaoyed character Of the alcoholic elc-
ment give it. in the estimation of the faculty, C
marked superiority over every other diusive stinu-
liant as diu-e'ic. t:nc AMI restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men OF the highest rank were published in con-
densed form, and enclosed with each bottle OF the
Scbn1prs, as one of the gu,ran tees of its genuine
ness. Other precautions sgains. fraud were also
adopted; patent WAS obtained for the article, the
label was copyrighted, ac simis Of the proprietor
autograph signature was attached to each label and
cover his name aud that of the preparation were TN
Lossed on lie bottles and the corks scaled with
his private seal. No article had ever been sold in
this Country under the name Of schnapps prior to
the introduction of VOTES schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps, in 1851; and the label vas deposited, as
his trade marx in the United States District Court
for the Southern D:s:-i:, of New York during that
year.
1t might be supposed by persons una quain'ed
with the ring character of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation othonorable merchants by vend-
ing deleerous trash under their name that the ro-
tections So carefully thrown arounl these schnapps
would have precuded che in.roiuciions and sale oil
counterteits. They seam however. only to have
stimu!a ed the rlpaeity of impostor'. The trade
mark OF tn proprietor has been stoen the indorsc-
mcnt which his Scheda,r Aromatic Schnapps a!one
received from the medical profession has been
claimed by msntacious humbugs; his labels and
tot.es have been inflated. his advertisements par2-
phrlscd, his circulars copied. and worse than all,
dshono.able retailers. after dislosrg ofthe genuine
contents CT his bottles, have led them Up with
common Gin, the most dele erious OF al liquors, ard
thus made his nlme AMI brInd cover for poison.
1hc public, the maiIca procession and The sick
for whom The Schiedam Arom tic schnapps is pre-
scribed as remedy, are equally inercs with the
proprietor in the desc aud suppression OF these
nc.arious practices The ge1u lie Article, manuiac-
