gepuineness. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obtained for the

DEAR SIR have made chemical examination
OF OF sample OF yonr schiedam Schnapps. with

| spirits.
DEAR SIR: The want OF pure Wines and Liquors,
for medicinal purposes, has been long felt by the
profession, and thousands OF lives have been sac
riiced by the use Of adulterated articles Delirium
tremens, and other diseases Of the brain and
nerves, 80 rife IN this country, arc very in
Europe; owing. in great degree, to the difference
in the purity OF the spirits sold
we nave tested the several articles imported
sell under the name Of Aromatic schiedJam lam
Schnapps, which we consider justly entitled to the
high reputation it has acquired in this country;
and from your long experience as a foreign inn,
porter, your Bottled Wines and Liquors Should
meet with the same demand
We would recommend you to appoint some of
the respectable apothecaries in different parts of
the city as agents for the sale of your Brandies
and Wines, where tho profession can obtain the
same when needed for medicinal purposes
Wishing you success IN your new enterprise. we
remain your obedient servants.
