world under the endorsement OF four
thousand leading members OF the mcdl-

It's proprietor was we'll aware that 1t
could not wholly escape the peGalty at
tached to all new and useful preplra-
tious. He, therefore, endeavorcd to
invest it with strongest possible safe
guard against counterfelterS, and to
render all attempts to pirate 1t dlhcult
and dangerous. 1t was submitted to
distinguished chemists ior analysis, aud
pronounced by them the .purest spirit
ever manufactured. Its purity and
properties having been thus ascertalned,
sam pies of The article were forwarded 10
ten thousand physiclaps, including all
The lcauiug practitioners IN the United
States, ior the purposes OF experiment.
A circular, requesting trial or the
preparation and d report OF the result,
accompanied each specimen. -Four
thousand o! the most eminent medical
men iu the Union promptly responded
Their opinions OF The article were uuan-
imously favorable. Such ! preparation
they said, had luug bceu wanted by the
profession, as no reliance could be
placed on the ordinary liquors OF COM

aduliera.cd, and therefore unit for
medical purposes. Tue peculiar excel:

1t might be supposed BY persons un-
acouqintcd wit the daring character OF
tie pirates who prey upon the reputa-
ton of honorable merchants By vending
deleterious trash under their na,i C, that
the projections 50 carefully thrown a.
round these .Schnapps would have pre-
cluled tie iniroductions and sale OF
couaterfcits Ghey seem, however, ouly

posivis. The trade mark Of the pro-
rietor has been stolen; the iHdnrse.
mcnt which his Sehiedam Aromatic
Schuapps alone received from the mcdl-
cal profession has.been cIaimcd by men-
dacious humbugs; his labels and bottles
. have been initiated, lis advertisements
paraphrascd, his circulars copied, aud
worse than all, di>honorable retailers,
after disposing Of The genuine contents
of his bottles have filled them up with
common Gin, the most deleterlous of
all liquors, and thus made his pamc aud
brand cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession,
and the sick, for whom the Schicdam
Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed asa
remedy, are equally interested with the
proprietor in the detection and snppres-
sion of these nelarioas practices. The
genuine article, manufactured at the
establishment Of the undersigned in
Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a
barley of the finest quality, and ta-
yored with an essential extract OF the
berry of the italian juniper, of unequal
led purity. BY process unknown in
The preparation of any liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious and cor
rosive clement.
Complaints have been received from
The lcading physicians and families in
Southern States of the sale of cheap
limitations of the Schicdam Aromatic
Schuapps in those markets; ;and tray
ellers who are in the habit of using itas
an antidote to the baneful influence OF
unwholesomc river water, testify that
cheap gin, put up in Schuapp bottles,
is frequently palmed off upon the un,
wary. The agents Of the undersigned
have been requested to institute inqui-
rics on the subject, and to forward to
him the names of such parties as they
