When the pure medicinal restorative, now sc
widely known as Wofo's SOHIEDAM SCHNAPPS
wa6 introduced into the world under tho endorse
ment of 1000 leading members of the medical pro
fession, some twenty years ago, its proprietor wa,
well aware that it could not wholly escape tht
penalty attached to new and useful preparations
he, therefore, endcavorcd to invest it with tn,
| strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
ers, and to render all attempts to pirate it Difficult
and dangerous. 1t was submitted to distinguish
ed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by then
the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purit,
and properties having been thus ascertained
samples OF the article were forwarded to 10, ,OO(
physicians, including all the leading practitioners
IN the United States, for purposes Of experiment

and report OF the result, accompanied eacl
specimen 1000 OF the most eminent medical mel

OF the article wer unanimously favorable. Such
preparation, they said, had long been wanted b,
the profession, as no reliance could be placed OF
the ordinary liquors of commerce: all of whicl
Were Were more or less aduiterated, and, therefore
,hiit for medical purposes. The peculiar excel
lence and strength OF the oil of junipcr whicl
formed one of the principal ingredients OF tn,
Schnapps. together with an unaovcd characte
OF the alcoholic element, give it, i'll the cstilnatio,

condensed form, and enclosed with each bottl

preparation were embossed on the bottles and tn
eorks were sealed with his private seal No articl
had ever been soldin this country under the nam
