WHEN THEPURE MEDICINAL
RESTORATIVE, now So widely
known as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM
SCHNAPPS, was introduced Into the
world under the endorsement OF four
thousand leading members of the midi
cal profession some twenty years ago,
its proprietor was well aware that 1t
could not wholly escape the penalty at
tached to all new and useful prepara-
tious. He, therefore, endeavored to
invest it with strongest possible safe
guard against counterfeIters, and to
render all attempts to pirate it difficult
aud dangerous. p 1t was submitted to
distinguished chemists Tor unaly ysls, aud
pronounced by them the purest spirit
ever manufactured. Its purity and
properties having been thus usecrtaincd,
samples Uf the article were forwarded to
ten thousand physicians, including all
the leauiug practitioners in the y"lted
States, TOR tile purposes vi experiment.
A circular, requesting trla OF The
preparation and report Of the result,
accompanied each specimen. -Four
thousand o. the most eminent medical
men iu The Union promptly responded
Their opinions OF the article were uIau-
imously favorable. Such preparation
they SAID, had long been wanted by he
prviessiop, as NO reliance could be
placed On the ordinary llquorsrof con-
merce, all of which were more or less
adultcrated, aud therefore unit for
medical purposes. The peculiar excel
lencc aud strength Of the oil OF juniper,
which formed one of the principal III
gredients of the Schnapps, together
with an unaIloyed character uf the aleu-
hol clement, give it, in the estimation
Of the faculty, n marked superiority
over every other dIffusive stlmulaht aS
dur, tic, tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials froa
professional men of the highest rank,
were published in u condensed form
and enclosed with each bottle of the
Schnapps; as one OF its geuuincucss -
y, her precautions against frand were
alsu adopted; patent was obtained for
the article, the label was copyrighted, Il
Juc sinlile uf the propriet 'rs autograph

The public, the medical profession,
and the sick, for whom the Schlcd%n
Aromatic Schnapps Is prcScrib"d as a
remrdy, are equally interested with the
proprietor in the detection and supPrcs
sion of these netarious practices. The
