When the pure medicinal restorative. now so
widely known as Wolfc's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPpS,
WAS introduced into the world, under the endorse
ment OF 900 leading members of the medical pro-
fesson somc twenty Years ago, its proprietor was
well aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached to new aud useful preparations
He, therefore, cndeuvorcd to invest it with the
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. Its purity
and properties having been thus asccrtaned,
samples OF the article were forwarded to 10 900
PHYSICIANS, including all the leading practitioners
IN the United States, for purposes of experiment.
CIRCULAR, requesting trial of the preparation
ana report of the result, accompanied each
specimen. 1000 of the most eminent medical men
il: the Union promptly responded Their opinions
Oh the artcle were unanimously favorable. Such q
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 for medical purposes. The peculiar excel
ienco and strength of the oil of juniper, which
formed one of the principal ingredients of the
Schnapps. together with an unalloyed character
or the alcoholic element, give it, in the estimation
OF the faculty, marked superiority over every
restorative
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men OF tho highest rank published in q
condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle
OF the Schnapps, one of tho guarantees of it's
genunencss. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obtained for tho
article, tho label was copyrighted, fac Sinie of
the proprctor's autograph signature was attached
To each label and cover. his name ard that of the
preparation were 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 Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfc's
Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and the
iaoci was deposited, as his trade mark, in the
united States District Court for the Southern Dis
trlct OF New York during that year.
;., ~ mlGht nG DO supposed by persons unacquanted
Win inc daring character of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation OF honorable merchants, by
vending dclotcrious trash under their name, that
@ Sme projections so carefully thrown around these
and sale of couuterfeits. They seem however
only to have stimulated the rapacity of impostcrs
The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen:
the endorsement which his Schedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the medical pro
icsslon has been claimed by mendacious humbugs
his labels an bottles have been initiated his nd,
vertsements paraphrased, his circulars copied.
and, worse than all, dishonorabe retailers, after
dispOsng OF the genuine contents of his bottles,
nave hlied them up with common gin, the most
deletcrious of all liquors and thus made his name
and brand a cover for poison.
The hepublic the medical profession and the sick
for whom the echiedam Aromatic Schnapps is
prescribed al aremedy, are equally interested with
the proprietor in the detection and suppression OF
these nefarious practices. The genuine article,
signed, in Schiedam, Eolland, is distilled from
barley of the finest quality, and favored with All
essential extract Of the berry of the Italian
Jumper, OF unequallcd purity. BY process un-
known in the preparation of any other liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious and corrosive ele-
mont.
Complainta have been received from the leading
physicians and families in the Southern States
"l the sale OF cheap limitations of the Schiedam
aromatic Schnapps i'll those markets; and travel
ers, VINO are IN the habit of using it antidote
to the baneful inflaence of unwholesomo river
water, testify that cheap gin, pnt up in Schiedam
ootties' Is frequently palmcd off upon the unwary.
