22 BEAVER STREET, New YonK, Nov. g. 'GS.
To The People Of The Southern States.
When the pure medicinal restorative. now 80
widely known as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM 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
we'll aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached to new and useful preparations.
Ho, therefore, cndeavored to invest it with tho
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
ers, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. 1t was submitted to distinguish
ed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them
tho purest spirit ever manufactured. It's purity
and properties having been thus ascertained,
samples Of the article forwarded to 10, 900
physcians, including all the leading practitioners
in tho United States, for purposes Of experiment.
A circular, requesting trial of the preparation
and report OF the result, accompanied each
specimen. 1000 Of the most eminent medical men
ID the Union promptly responded. Their opinions
OF the article were unanimously favorable. Such a
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
were moro or less aduterated, and, therefore,
unit unit for medical purposes The peculiar excel
formed ono of the principal ingredients of the
Schnapps. together with an unalloyed character
of the faculty, a marked superiority over every
other dltfusive stimulant as dIuretic, tonic and
restorative. tFs
These satisfactory credentials from professional
mon OF tho highest rank published in a
condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle
OF the Sohnapps, as one of the guarantees of it's
were also adopted; patent was obtained for the
article, the label was copyrighted fac sinle of
the proprietor's autograph signature was attached
to each label and cover. his name and that of the
preparation wero 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 nj Fa,c
Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in 1851; and the
label was deposited, as his trade mark. in the
United States District Court for the Southern Dis
trict of New York during that year.
IL might bo supposed, by persons unacquainted
with the daring character of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation of honorable merchants by
vending deleterious trash under their name that
the projections 80 carefully thrown around these
Schnapps would have precluded the introductions

Schnapps alone received from the medical pro-
fcssion has been claimed by mendacious hnmbugs

vertisements paraphrasea, his circulars copied
and, worse than all, dishonorable retailers afteI
dlsposing OF the genuine contents of his bottles
have tiled them up with common gin, the most
delotcrious of all liquors, and thus made his name
and brand cover for poison.
