WHEN EPURE MEDICINAL
RESTORATIVE, now 81 widely
known as WOLFE'S SCulEDAM
SCHNAPPS, was Introduced into the
world under the endorsement Of tour
thousand Leading members Of the mcdi-
cal profession some twenty years ago,
its proprietor was we'll aware that 1t
could, not, wholly escape the penalty at
tachcd to all new and useful prepara-
tious: liz, therefore, eudeayored- to
invest it with strongest possible safe
guard against coupterfciters, and to
render all attempts to pirate 1t difficult
and dangerous. 1t was submitted to
distinguished. chemists Tor aual ysls, and!
pronounced by them the purest. spirit
ever manufactured. Its purity and
properties having been thus ascrrtaincd,
samples of the article were forwarded to
ten thousand Physicians, including all
the leauiDs practitioners in the Quilted
States, Tor the purposes of experiment.
n circular, requesting a trial OF the
preparation and report Of the result,
accompanied each specimen: -Four
thousand o. the most eminent medical
men in the Union promptly responded.
Their opinions Of the .artlclc.wcre uuau-
imously favorable. Such u preparation
they said, had lung been wanted BY the
profession, as uo reliance could be
placed on the ordinary liquors Of COM
'mcrce, all of which were more or less
adulteraled, aud therefore unit for
medical,purposes. The peculiar excel
lence and strength of the oil Of juniper,
which formed one Of the principal IL
gradients of the Schnapps, together
with au uualloyed character Of the alco-
hul clement, give it, in the estimation
Of the faculty., a marked superiority
over every other dltluslre stlmulant as
dlurctic, tonic aud re. torative.
These satisfactory credentials from
professional men vi Tie highest rank,
were publish d in Il condensed torm
and enclosed wiki each bvt,c ii the
Schnapps; as one Of its genulncurss -
O,her precautions against fraud were
also adopted; patent was obtained for

1t might be supposed by persons un-
acquainted with the daring character vi
the pirates who prey upon the rcputa-

the projections 80 carefully thrown IL
round these Schnapps would have pre-
cluded the introductlons and sale OF

to have simulated the rapacity OF im-

mcnt which lis Schicdam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the nedl-
cal profession has been claimed by NELL
dacious humhags; his labels and BOTTLES.
have been initiated, his advertisements
paruphrascd, his circulars copied, and
worse than all, dishonuruble retailers,
after disposing Of the genuine contents
of bis bottles, have filed them up with
common gin, the most dcletcrlous OF
all liquors, and thus made his name and
brand cover fur poison.
The public, the medical profession,
and the SICK. for whom the Schiedam
Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a
rom, dy, are equally interested with the
proprietor in the detection and suppress
sion of these nefarious practices. The
genuine article, manufactured at the
establishment of the undersigned in
Schicdam, Holland, is distilled from II
barley of the finest quality, and fla
vorcd with an essential extract of the
berry of the Italian juniper, of unequal
led purity. BY process unknown in
the preparation OF any liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious and cor
rosive clement.
Complaints have been received from
the leading physicians and families in
Southern States Of the sale OF cheap
limitations of the Schicdam Aromatic
Schnapps in those markets; and trav.
ellcr5 who are in the habit of using it as
an antidote to the baucful influence OF
river water, testify that
cheap gin, put mp in Schnapp bottles,
is frequently palmed off upon the un.
wary. The agents Of the undersigned
have been requested to institute iuqui-
rics on the subject, and to forward to
him the names of such parties as they
