the endorsement of four thousand leading members
of the medical profession twenty years ago, Its
proprietor we'll aware that it could not wholly
escape the penalty attached to all new and useiul
preparations. He, therefore, endeayorcd TO invest

them the purest spirit manufactured. Its puri-

physicians including oil the leading practitioners In

Four thousand of the most eminent medical men IN
the Union promptly responded. Thor opinions OF
the article were unanimously favorable. Such
preparation they said, had long been wanted by
the profession, as no reliance could be placed on the
ordinary liquors of commerce. all Of which we're

These satisfactory credentials from professional

densed form, and enclosed with each bottle OF the
schnapps, as one of the guarantees Of Its genuine
ness. Other precautions against fraud were tlso
adopted; patent was obtained for the article the

1t might be supposed by persons una:quainted
with the dlring character Of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation ofhonorabe merchants BY vend-
ing deeterous trash under their name. that the pro-
tections so carefully thrown around these schnapps
would have prccluded the introducions and sole OF
countcrfcits. Thoy seem, however, onlT to have
stimulated tho rapacity Of impostors. The trade
mark of tn, proprietor has been stolen; the ndorse-
men. which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed by merdacious humbugs; his labels and
bottles have been initiated his advertisements para
phrased, his circulars copied and worse than oil,
dshonorabe retailers after dsposiug Of the genuine
conteuts of his bottles, have filed them up with
common en the most dcle;erious of all liquors. aud
thus made his name and brlnd q cover for poison
The public, the medical profession and tie sick,
for whom the schiedam Aromatic schnapps is pre-
scr,bed remedy, are equally interested with the
proprietor in the detection and suppression of these
nefarious practices. The genuine article rnanulac-
tured at the establishment Of tue undersigned in
Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from barley Of The
finest quality aud favored with essential extract

rity. BY process unknown in the preparation of
any other liquor it is freed from every acrimonious
and corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the leading
physicians and families in the Southern States OF

matte Schnapps in those murkes; and travellers,
who nre in the habit OF using it as On antdote TO the
bancful influence of unwholesome river water. ties.
tfy that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, Is
frequently palmed off upon the unwary. The
