WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL
RESlOKAllVE, now so widely
known as WULFE,S SCulEDAM
SCnNAPPS, was Introduced iuto the
world uu1er the endorsement vi four
Thousand leading ymcmbers Of the n'cdi-
cal profession some twenty years ago,
its proprietor was well aware that 1t
could not wholly escape the penalty at
,ached to all new and useful prepara-
tious. He, therefore, endeavored to
invest it with stron1 1e.t possible sate-
guard against couuterfeiters, aud to
render all attempts to plate IT ditheuft
and dangerous. 1t was submitted lo
distinguished chemists for analysis, aud
pronounced by them the purest spirit
ever manufactured. Its purity and
properties having been thus uscertained,
samples Of the article were forwarded to
ten thousand physiclans, INCLUDING alr
the leaulng practition, rs III the United
States, TOR the purposes OF experiment.
A circular, requesting trlai OF the
preparation and report oi the result,
accompanied each specimen. Four
thousand U! the most eminent nedlc.l
men in the Union promptly responded.
Their Opiuiuus OF he article were uuan-
imously favorable. Such preparation
they said, had long been wanted by The
profession, US nu reliance could bc
placed On the ordinary liquors Ut con-
ulcrce, all Of which were more or les,
adulteraIed, and therefore uuhl toI
medical purposes, The peculiar excel
lence aud strength OF the oil OF jumper,
which formed une Of the principal ill.,
greIienrs of the Schnapps, t"gether
with an unalloyed character vi the alco'
hol element, gave it, IN the estiu.atiotr
Of the faculty, marked superiority
over every other dltfusive stimulant US
diurctic, tonic aud restorative.
These satisfactory credentials fro.u
professional men vi the highest rank,
were publish d in condensed form
and enclosed with each bottle Jf tile
Schnapps; as ono uf It's geDainencss -
O,her precautions against fraud were.
also adopted; a patent was obtained for
the article, the label was copyrighted, a
Juc Simile Of the propriet'rs autograph
signature Was attached to each label aud
cover, his uanc and that Of the prepar
alton were sealed with his private seal
No article had ever been sold IN this
country under the name Of Schnapps
prior tu the Introduction II Woiie's
SchieAam Aromatic Schnapps, in ls5li
and the label was deposited, as his trade
mark, iu the United District Court Tor
the Sou. heru District Of New Fork du-
ring that year.
1t might be supposed by persons un-
acquainted with the daring character Of
the pirates who prey upon the reputa-
tion OF honorable merchants by vending
dcleterious trash under their nane, that
the projections SO carefully thrown a.
round these Schn#pps would have pre-
cluded the intruductlous aud sale OF
counterfeits They seem, however, only
to have stimulated the rapacity uf im-
postors. The trade mark vf the pro-
prietor has been stolen; the indnrse.
mcnr which lis Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the mcdI-
cal profession has been. claimed by NELL
dacious humhugs; his labels AMI bottles
have been initiated, his advertisement y
paraphrased, his circulars copied, aud
worse than all, disbonorable retailers,
after disposing ef the genuine contents
Of bis bottles have filled them up with
common gin, the most dcleterious Of
all liquors, and thus made his name aud
brand a euver fr poison.
The public, the medical profession,
and the sick, for whom the Schiedani
Aromatic SchDapps is prescribed as Il
rem, dy, arc equally Interested with the
proprietor in the detection and suppress
sion Of these nefarious practices. The
genuine article, manufactured at the
establishment Of the Undersigned III
ScLicdam, Holland, is distilled from
barl"y OF the finest quality, and tia-
vored with an essential extract OF the
berry of the Italian juniper, of unequal
led purity. by process unknown i'm
the preparation of any liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious snd COR
rssive element.
Complaints have been received fro"
the leading physicians and tanrIics In
Southern States of the sale Of cheap
limitations of the Schicdam Aromat C
Schnapps in those markets; and trav
eller. who are in the habit of using 1t as
an antidote to the taneiol influence Of
unwholesome river water, tesrify that
cheap gin, put up in Sehnapp bottles,
is frequently palmed off upon the un
wary. The agents of the undersigned
have been requested to institute inqui-
rles on the subject, and to forward t"
him the names Of such parties as they
may ascertain to be engaged IN the
