When the pure medicinal restorative. now so
widely known as Wolfes SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS
was introduced into the world, under the endorse
ment of 600 leading members of the medical pro-
fession, some twenty years ago. its proprietor was
we'll aware that 1T could not wholly escape the
penalty attached to new and useful preparations.
he, therefore, endcavored to invest it with the
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
crs, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. 1t was submitted to distinguish
od chemists for anal ysis, and pronounced by them
the purcst spirit ever manufactured It's purity
ana properties having been thus ascertaiped
samples OF the article were forwarded to 10 900
physicians including all the leading practitioners
III the United States, for purposes of experiment.
~ clIcuiar, requesting trial of the preparation
and report of tho result. accompanied each
specimen. 1000 of the most eminent medical men
In the Union promptly responded. Their opinions
OF the article were unanimously favorable. Such a
PREPARATION, they sAid had long been wanted by
the profession, reliance could be placed on
the ordinary liquors of commerce; all of which
were more or less adulterated, and, therefore
uhht 1or medical purposes. The peculiar excel
ience I and etrength of the oil of juniper which
ochnapPs. together with an nnaloyed character
OF inc alcoholic clement give it, ill the estimation
OF the faculty, marked superiority over every
other dlflusive stimulant as dlurctc tonic and
restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men OF tho highest rank were published in a
condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle
or tho Schnapps, as ono of the guarantees of it's
Scnulneness. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obtained for the
article, the label copyrighted fac siD,i,e of
the propriotor's autograph signature was attached
to each label and cover. his name and that of the
preparation were embossed on the bottles and the
Corks were sealed with his private seal. No article
had ever been sold in this country under the name
or Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's
nGnledam Soif aromatic Schnarps, in 1851; and the
United States District Court for the Southern Dis
trict OF New York during that year.
