To tho People OF the Southern Stntes;
WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE.
now so widely known as WOLFE'S SCH1EDAM
sC9NAPPS, was in reduced into the world under
the endorsement of four thousand leading members
of the medical profession some twenty years ago. Its
proprietor was well aware that 1t could not wholly
escape the penalty attached to all new and useful
preparations He, therefore, endeavored to invest IL
with strongest possible safes against counter
feiters, and to lender all attempts to pirate 1t d

guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by
them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its puri

physicians including all the leading practitioners In
tie United States, for purposes of experiment.
circular requesting trial Of the preparation aud
report Of The result, accompanied each specimen.
Four thousand of the most eminent medical men III
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 reliance could be placed the
ordinary liquors of commerce, all OF which wero
moro or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for
medical purposes. The peculiar ex ellence and
strength of the oi of juniper. which formed one Of
tho principal ingredients of the Schnapps. together
with an unalloyed character Of the alcoholic cle-

marked superiority every other difusve stinu-
liant diureiic, tonic anu restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional

ness. Other precautions against fraud were Llso
adopted; patent was obtained for tue article. the

cover his name aud that of the preparation were en-
Tossed the bottlcs and the corks were sealed with
bis private seal. No article had over been sold in
this country under the name Of Schnopps prior to
the introduction of Wolfes schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps in 1851; and the label der osited, 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 unacquain'ed
with the ring character of the pirates who prey
upoa the reputation ofhonora5le merchants by vend-
ing deleerous trash under their name, that the ro
tections 30 carefully thrown around these Schnapps
would have prccluded the n.roluctions and sole OF
counterfeits. They seem, however only TO have
stimulate ed the rlDacity Of inpossor;. The trade
mark OF til, proprietor has been stolen the ndorsc-
ment which his Schicdam Aromatic Schnapps alone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed by mendacors humbuss; his labels end
bottles have been inflated, his advertisements para
phrased his circulars copied, and worse thai oil,
lshonorablc retailers after dispospg of tic genuine
contents of his bottles, have a led them Up with
common gin, the most delccrious Of all liquors, and
thus made his name and br nd cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession and the sick,
for whom the Schiedam arom tic Schnapp5 is pre-
scrbcd as a remedy, alc equally nteres:c with the
proprietor in the detcc and suppression of these
nelarious practices Tho genuine article manulac-

finest quality and favored with an essential extract

any other liquor it is freed from every acrimonious

Complaints have been received from the leading
physicians and families in tho southern States of
