| When the pure medicinal restorative now no
widely known as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPpS,
was introduced into the world, under Tho endorse
| ment OF 600 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, endeavored to invest it with the
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
and to render all attempts to pirato it difcut
/ and dangerous. 1t WAS submitted to distinguish
| ed chemists for analysis, aud pronounced by them
| the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity
| and properties having been thus ascertained
| samples OF the article wero forwarded to 10000
phrhcinns including all the leading practitioners
| Ill the United States, for purposes of experiment
| d circular, requesting trial of tho preparation
| ana report nf tho result. accompanied each
specimen. 1000 of the most eminent medical men
| in tho Onion promptly responded. Their opinions
Of the article we're unanimously favorable such n
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
| the profession, az no reliance could he placed on
wero more or less adutcrated, and, therefore,
unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar excel,
! lenco and strength OF the oil OF Juniper which
| formed one of the principal ingredients of the
| Schnapps. together with unaluyed character
"f the alcoholic element, give it, i'll the estimation
| OF the faculty, marked superiority over every
| other ditfusvo stmulant ,llurctic tonic and
| restorative.

| men OF tho highest rank published in
c0ndcnnod form aud enclosed with Gael, bottle
of the Schnapps, as one OF the guarantees of ITS

were Also adopted; patent was obtained for the

IL might be supposed, ny persons unacquainted
WITH Io nc, daring character of tho pirates who prey

the projections 30 carefully thrown around these
| Schnapps would have precluded the introductions

only to have stimulated tho capacity of imposters
The trade mark OF tho proprietor has been stolen:

| Schnapps alono received from the medical pro-
fesson has been claimed by mcndacious humbugs
his labels an BOTTLES have been initiated. his ad
vertiscmonts paraphrasea, his circulars copied
and, worse than all, dishonorable retailers after
alsp"sing OF the genuine contents of his bottles
have tiled them up with common GIN the most
deleterious of all liquors. and thus nude his name
anu brand cover for poison.
