OF the medical profession some twenty years ago. its
proprietor was woll aware that it could not wholly
escape the penalty attached to all new and useful
preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invest il
with strongest possible safeguard against counter
feiters and to render all attempts to pirate it diff

them the purest spirit manufactured. Its puri-

physicians including aIthe leading practitioners in

label was copyrighted, fac sie Of the proprie ors
autograph signature attached to each label and
cover, MS name aud that Of the preparation
oossed on tho bottles aud the corks sealed with

Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited as
his trade mark in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York during that

1t might be supposed by persons unacquainted
WITH tho drlng character of tue pirates who prey
upon the reputation honorable merchants by vend-
ing deleter GUS trash under their name that the pro
tectlons 80 carefully thrown around these Schnapps
would have precluded the inroductions and sale OF
commercials They eeem, however. only to have
stimulated the rapacity of impostors. The trade
mark OF tn, proprietor has been stoen the indorse
meht which his Sohiadam Aromatic Schnapps alone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and
bottles have been initiated, his advertisements para
phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than ALL
dishonorabe retailers. after disposng of the genuine
| contents of his bottles, have filed them up with
common gin, the most deleierious Of all liquors. and
thus made his name and br md cover for poison.
The public, tho medical profession and the sick
for whom the Schicdam Aromatic Schnapps IS pre-
scrbed as remedy. are equally intcrestoI with the
proprietor In the detection and suppression Of these
netarious practices. The genuine article, manuac-
