invest it with strongest. possible safe
guard, against couuterfellers,: and to
render all attempts to pirate'it difficult
aud dangerous. It was 'subnitted 10
distinguished chemists 5, iorauulysls, aud
pronounced by them; the, purest spirit
ever. manufactured. Its purity. and
properties having been thus uscertalned,
samples of the article were forwarded to
ten thousand physiciuus, including all
the leauing pracsltion>rs IN the United
States, for the purposes Of experiment.
A 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 rcspo 'ded.
Their opinions of the article were unau-
imously, favorable. Such preparation
they said, had long been wanted by the
profession, as no reliance could be
placed on the ordinary liquors OF: COLL

adultera'ed, and therefore unit for
medical purposes. The peculiar excel

1t might be supposed by persons un,
acquainted with the daring character oi
the pirates who prey upon the rcputa'
tion Of of'honorabfr merchants by vclidnle
deleterious trash under their naILe, tha,
the projections So carefully thrown a
round these Schnapps would have pre-
cluied tine inlroductions and sale Of

to have stimulated the rapacity Of ion
posters. The trade ..nsrk of the pro-
prietor has been stolen; the indprse
ment which his Scliedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received fr"m the iDcdi'
