When the pure medicinal restorative
now 80 widely known as WOLFE'S SCHIE-
DAM SCHNAPPS, was introduced into the
world, under the endorsement of 600
leading members of the medical profess
sion, some twonty years ago, its proprie-
tor was well aware that it could not wholly
escape the penalty attached to all new and
useful preparations. He, therefore, en-
deavored to invest it with the strongest
possible safeguard against counterfeiters,
and to render ell attempts to pirate it diff
fcult aud dangerous. 1t WAS submitted
to distinguished chemists for analysis, and
pronounced by thcm tho purest spirit ever
manufactured. It's purity and properties
having been thus ascertained, samples of
the article were forwarded to 10 900 phvsi-
clans, including all the leading practition-
ers i'll the United States, for purposes of
experiment circular, requesting trial
OF the preparation and a report of the re-
suit, accompanied each specimen. 1000
OF the most eminent 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, as no rcli-
ancc could be placed on the ordinary
liquors of commerce; all of which were
more or less adulterated, and, therefore,
uhht Tor medical purposes. Tho peculiar
excellence and strength Of the oil of juni-
per, which formed ono of tho principal in
gradients OF the Schnapps. together with
on unalloyed character of the alcoholic
element, give it, in the estimation of the
faculty, n marked superiority over eyery
other dlifusive stimulant as dluretic.
tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from pro-
fessional men OF tho highest rank were
published IN condensed form, and en-
closed with each bottle of the Schnapps.
as one OF the guarantees of it's genuine
ness. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obtained
for the article, tho label was copyrirhted.
n fac sinle of the proprietor's antograph
signature was attached to each label and
cover. his name and that of the prepara.
ton were embossed on the bottles and the
corks were sealed with his private seal.
NO article had over been sold in this coun-
try unuor the name OF Schnapps prior to
. o.
matte Schnapps, i'll 1851; and the label was
deposited, as his trade mark, in the United
States District Court for the Southern Dis
trict OF New York during that year.
1t might be supposed, by persons unac-
quainted with the daring character of the
pirates who prey upon the reputation of
honorable merchants, by vending delete
rious trash under their name, that the
projections 30 carefully thrown around
these Schnapps would have precluded tho
introductions and sale of counterfeits.
They seem, however, only to have stimu
lated the rapacity of imposters The trade
mark of tho proprietor has been stolen.
the endorsement which his Schiedam
Aromatic Schnapps alone received from
the medical profession has been claimed
by mendacious humbugs; his labels and
bottles have boen initiated, his ADVERTISE
ments paraphrased, his circulars copied.
and, worse than all, dishonorable retailers
alter disposing OF the genuine contents of
his bottles, have filled them up with com
mon gin, the most deleterious of all
liquors. and thus made his name and
brand cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession and
the sick, for whom tho Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps is prescribed as q remedy. arc
equally interested with tho proprietor in
the detection and suppression of tbese ne.
farious practices. The genuine article.
