fesson, some twenty years ago, it's proprietor was
well aware that it cond not wholly escane tha

strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit

and dangerous. 1t WAS Submitted to t,siipcuish
ed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them

men OF the highest rank wero published in a
condensed FORM and enclosed with each bottle
guarantees of 4
genulneness. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent obtained for the
article, the label was copyrighted, fac si,ne of
the proprletor's autograph signature was attached
to each label and cover his name and that of .he
preparation were embossed on the bottles az the
corks sealed with his private seal No article

III IL might be supposed, by persons nnacquainted
upon the reputation of honorable merchants. by
vending deletcrious trash under their name, that
the projections so carefully thrown around thase
Schnapps would have prccuded the intruductions
and sale OF counter.eits They seem however
only to have stimulated the rapacity of impusters

Schnapps alone received from the medical pro-

his labels an bottles have been initiated, his ad,
fertlsements paraphrascd, his circulars copied
and, worse than all, dishonorabie retailers after
n;sp"slng OF the genuine contents of his bottles
have tiled them up with common gin, the most
ocieterlous OF all liquors. and thus made his name
ami brand a cover for poison.
