To The People Of The Southern, States.
When the rnre medicinal restorative row so
widely known as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS,
was introduced into the world, under the endorse
ment OF 600 leading members of the medical pro-
fesslon, some twenty years ago, its proprietor was
well aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached to new and useful propar atons
he, therefore, endeayored 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 chemlsts for analysis, nnd pronounced by them
% tne Pnrest spirit ever manufactured It's purity
and properties having been thus ascertained
samples of the article wore forwarded to 10 600
physicians, including all the leading practitioners
in the United States for purposes OF experiment.
circular, requesting a trial of the preparation
and a report of the result ACCOMPANIED each
specimen. 1000 of the most eminent medical men
In the Union promptly responded. Their opinions
OF the article were unanimously favorable Such a
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 adulterated, and, therefore,
unit for medical purposes. The peculiar excel
ience and strength Of the oil Of juniper, which
formed ono of the principal ingredients of the
Schnapps. together with an unalloyed character
OF the alcoholic element, give it, i'll the estimation
other difusive stmulant q diuretc, tonic and
restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men of tho highest rank were published in q
condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle
OF the Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its
genuineness. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obtained for the
article the label copyrighted, fac sinile of
the proprietor's autograph signature was attached
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
e. Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's
Schledam Aromatic Schpapps, in 1851 and the
label was deposited as his trade mark in tho
United States District Court for the Southern Dis
trict of New York during that year.
1t might be supposed, by persons unacquainted
with the daring character OF the pirates who prey
upon the reputation OF honorable merchants by
vending deeterious trash under their name, that
the projections 80 carefully thrown around these
Schnapps would have precuded the introductions
and sale of counterfeits They seem, however,
only to have stimulated the rapacty of imposters
The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen;
the endorsement which his Sohiedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the medical pro-
fcssion has been claimed by mendacous humbugs;
his labels an bottles have been initiated his ad-
and, worse than ALL dishonorable retailers, after
dlsposlng OF the genuine contents of his bottles,
have TILED them up with common gin, the most
deleterious of all liquors. and thus made his namo
and brand cover for poison.
The public. the medical profession and the sick,
for whom the Echiedam Aromatic Schnapps is
prescribed as remedy, are equally interested with
the proprietor in the detection and suppression of
these nefarlous practices: The genuine article,
manufactured at the establishment of the under
signed, in Schiedam, Holland. is distilled from
barley OF tho finest quality, and favored with an
essential extract of the berry of the Italian
juniper, of unequalled purity. By process un-
known in the preparation of any other liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious aud corrosive ele-
ment.
physicians and families in the Southern States,
of the sale of cheap limitations of the Schiedam
Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; and travel
ers, who are in the habit Of using it as an antdote
to the baneful influence of unwholesome river
water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam
bottles, Is frequently palmed of upon the unwary.

system OF deception. In conclusion. tho under
signed would say that he has produced, from under
the hands of the most distinguished men of
science in America, proofs unanswerable of the
purity and medicinal excellence Of the Schiedam
Aromatic Schnapps; that he has expended many
thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees
and safeguards. which he designed should protect
the public and himself against fraudulent imita-
tlons that he has shown it to be the only liquor in
the world that can be uniformly depended upon
as unadulturated; that he has challenged investi.
cation, Analysis, comparison, and experiment in
all its forms; and from every ordeal the prepa-
ration which bears his name seal and trade mark,
has come off triumphant. He, therefore, feols it
duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to
the medical profession and tho sick, to denounoe
evidences Of Identity and he calls upon tho press
and the public to aid him in his efforts to remedy
80 great an evil.
The following letters and certificates, from the
leading physicians and chemists Of this city, will
prove to the reader that all goods sold by the
undersigned are all they represented to be.
UDOLPHO WOLFE.
