WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE,
now SO widely known as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM
| sCHNAPPS, WAS in reduced into the world under
the endorsement of four thousand leading members
of The medical profession some twenty years ago, its
proprietor was wcl aware that 1t could not wholly
escape the penalty attached to all dew and useful
preparations. He, therefore endeayored to invest il
with strongest possible safeguard against counter
feiters, and to render all attempts to pirate 1t diff
cult and dangerous. I! was submitted to dtsin-
guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced By
them the purest spirit ever manufactured Its pur-
ty md properties having been thus ascertained, SAM
pies of the article were forwarded to ten thousand
physicians including all the leading practitioners in
| the United States for purposes Of experiment
circular requesting trial of the preparation and
report of The result, accompanied each specimen.
-Four thousand of the most eminent medical men in
the Union promptly responded. Their opinions OF
the article were unanimously favorable. Such
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
the profession as reliance could be placed on the
ordinary liquors of commerce, oil Of which were
more or less adulteratcd, and therefore unit for
medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and
strength of the OF of Juniper. which formed one OF
the principal ingredients of the Schnappa. together
with an unalloyed character Of the alcoholic ele-
mcnt, give 1t, in the estimation OF the faculty,
marked superiority over every other difusive smu-
liant as diure:ic, tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men of the highest rank were published in con-
densed form, and enclosed with each bottle Of the
schnapps as one of tho guarantees Of Its genuine
| ness. Other precautions against fraud were also
adopted; patent was obtained for the article. the
label was copyrighted, fac simc of the proprie!ors
autograph signature was attached to each label and
cover s name aud that of the preparation were en-
Tossed on the bottles aud 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 schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps. 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 unasquain'ed
with the ring character of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation othonorable merchants by vend-
ing deleterous trash under their name, that the Pro-
toctions so carefully thrown around these Schnapps
would have prccluded the introlucions and sale OF
counterfeits. They seem, however. only to have
stimulated the rapacity Of impostori. The trade
of tn, proprietor has boon stolpn the indorse-
mcut which his Schicdam Aromatic Schnapps alone
received from tho medical profession has been
claimed By menJacious humbugs; his labels and
bottles have been initiated. his advertisements par
.;.1o oil
dishonorabe retailers after dsposiug of the genuine
contents of his bottles, have filed them up with
common ein the mos. dec:erious Of all liquors, and
thus made his name and brJnd 4 cover for poison.

scrbcd as remedy, equally tntcresse! with the
