To The People Of tie Southern States
When the pure medicinal restorative now so
widely known as Wolfes SCaIEDAM SCHNAPPS.
was introduced into the world under the endorse
ment OF 900 leading members of the medical pro-
fession, some twenty years ago. its proprietor was
well aware that it 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
ers, and to render all attempts pirate it difficult
ana dangerous 1t was submitted to distinguish
ed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them
and properties having been thus ascertained
samples OF the article were forwarded to 10 600
Physclans including all the leading practitioners
In the United States, for purposes of experiment
circular, requesting a trial of the preparation
and report OF the result, accompanied each
specimen. 1000 Of the most eminent ms edcal men
III the Union promptly responded. Their opinions
81 the article were unanimously favorable. Such
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
the ordinary liquors of commerce.; all of which
were more or less adulterated, and, therefore,

formed one of the principal ingredients of the
Schnapps. together with an unalloyed character
OF the alcoholic element, give it, in the estimation
of the faculty, a marked superiority over every
other diffusive stimuant as a diuretic tonic and
restorative.
AH0oe SatiSiaC.ory creucntlaiS from professional
men OF tho highest rank were published in a
condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle
OF the ochnapps, as one OF the guarantees of it's
commences. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obtained for the

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
OF Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's
Schledam Aromatic Schnapps in 1851; and the

United States District Court for the Southern Dis

vendlng deleterious trash under their name that
the projections 30 carefully thrown around these
Schnapps would have precluded the introductons
only to have stimulated the rapacity OF imposters
Inc trade mark OF the proprietor has been stolen:
the endorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the medical pro

and, worse than all, dshonorable retailers after

The public the medical profession and the sick
