WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE.
now so widely knonn as woLFE's SCHIEDAM
SCANAPPs, was in'roduced into the world under
the endorsement of four thousand leading members
of the medical profession some twenty years ago. Its
proprietor was well aware that 1t could not wholly
escape the penalty attached to all new and useful
preparations He, therefore, ondearored to invest
with strongest possible safeguard against counter
feiters and to render all attempts to pirate It dill
cult md dangerous. It was submitted to dtstn.
guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by
them the purust spirit manufactured It's ptr1-

physicians including all tue leading practitioners IN

circular, requesting trial Of the preparation and
report of tbe result, accompanied each specimen
-Four thousand of the most eminent medical men n
the Union promptly responded. Their opipions 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
more or less aduherated, and therefore unht for
medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and
strength of the oi of juniper, which formed one OF
the PRINCIPAL ingredients of the Schnapps, together
with an unalloyed character OF the alcoholic eIe-
ment, give It in the estimation Of the faculty,
marked supen-:tJ over every other difusive sumu.
LIANT as dturo.ic. tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men of the highest rank were published IN aeon
densed form, and enclosed with each bottle OF the
6ohnapps az one of the guarantees of its genuine
ness Other precautions against fraud were also
adopted; patent was obtained for the article, the
label was copyrighted, dc siis OF Che propraelors
sutooraph Signature was attached to each label and
cover his name aud that Of the preparation were en-
bossed on the bottles and the corks were sealed with
bis private SEAL No article had ever been sold In
this country under the name Of sehnapps prior to
hs introduction of Yoife's schiedam Aromatic
schnspps, In 1851 and the label Was deposited as
his trade mark, in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York during that
year.
It might be supposed by persons unaequainied
with the daing character of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation ofhonorabe merchants by vend-
ing deeterous trash under their nape that the pro-
tsotions so carefully thrown around these schnapps
would have preo,uded the intoductions and sale o.
counserfeits. They seem, however, only to hove
stimulated the rapacity of impossors. The tnoe
mark o th. proprietor has been stolen; the indorse-
ment which his Sehiednm Aromatic Schnappe alone
! received from the medical professor has been
claimed BIZ mendacious humbugs; his labels and
bottles have been rda.ed. his advertisements para

dshonorabie reajlers after disposng ofthe genuine
contents Of his bottles, have Allied them up with
common gin, tho most deleterious of all liquors, and
thus made his name and brlnd q cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession and the sick,
| for whom the schiedam Aromatic schnapps is pre-
scribcd remedy, are equally interested with the
proprietor in the detection and suppression OF these
neiarious practices. The genuine artcle manuisc-
