The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1868-11-12

the medical profession has been claimed
by mendaciouB humbugs: hia labels and
bottles have been initiated, his advertise
inents paraphrased, his circulars copied,
and, worse than all, dishonorable retailers,
after disposing OF the genuine cdhtents OF
his bottles, have filed them up With COM
mon gin, the most deleterioue of all
| liquors, and thus made his name and
brand q cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession and
the sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps is prescribed rs remedy, are
equally interested with the proprietor in
the detection and suppression of these me-
farious practices. The genuine article,
manufactured at the establishment of the
undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is dis
titled from a barley of the finest quality.
and favored with an essential extract of
the berry OF the Italian juniper, OF une-
qualled purity. BY process unknown in
the preparation of any other liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious and corro-
sive element
Complaints have been received from the
leading physicians and families in the
Southern States, Of the sale Of cheap imi-
tations of the Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps in those markets.; and travellers,
who are in the habit of using it as an anti
dote to the baneful influence of unwhole-
some river water, testify that cheap gin
put up in Schiedam bottles, il FREQUENTLY
palmed off upon the unwary. The agents
Of the undersigned have been requested to
institute inquiries on the subject, and to
forward to him the names of such parties
as they may ascertain to be engaged in
tho atroclous system of deception. In
conclusion, the undersigned would say
that he has produced, from under the
hands of the most distinguished men of
science in America, proofs unanswerable
Of the purity and medicinal excellence of
the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that ho
has expended many thousand dollars in
surrounding it with guarantees and safe
guards, which he designed should protect
the public and himself against fraudulent
limitations; that he has shown it to be the
only liquor in the world that can be uni.
formly depended upon as unadulterated;
that he has challenged investigation,
analysis, comparison, and experiment in
all its forms; and from every ordeal the
preparation which bears his name, seal
and trade mark, has come off triumphant.
He, therefore, feels it duty he owes to his
feiiow-cltlzens generally, to the medical
profession and the sick, to denounce and
expose the Charlatans who counterfeit
these evidences of identity, and he calls
upon the press and the public to aid him
in his efforts to remedy 80 great an evil.
The following letters and certificates,
from the leading physicians and chemists
or this city, will prove to the reader that
all goods sold by the undersigned are all
they are represented to be.

prescribed by ply sicians.
