NOVEMBER 8, 1868.
70 the People Of the Southern States
When the pure medicinal restorative, now SO
widely known as Wolfe's Sehiedam Schnapps, was
introduced into the world under the endorsement OF
four ttousard leading members OF the medical
profession some 20 years ago. It's proprietor was
we'll aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached TO all new and useful prepara-
tious. He therefore, endeavored to invest 1t with
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeers,
and TO render all attempts to pirate it difficult and
dangerous 1t was submitted to distinguished
chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them the
purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity and
properties having been thus ascerfained samples
of the article were forwarded TO ten thousand ply
sicians, including all the leading practitioners in
the United States, for purposes OF experiment. A
circular requesting trial of the preparation and
/. report of the result, accompanied each specimen.
Four thousand of the most eminent medical men
in the Union promptly responded. Their opin-
ions of the article were unanimously favorable.
Such preparation they said, had long been wanted
by the profession, no reliance could be placed
on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all OF which
were more or less adulterated, and therefore unit
for medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and
strength of the oil of juniper, which formed one
'of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to-
pcther with an unaloyed character Of the alcohol
ic elcmcat give it, in the estimation OF the faculty.
a marked superiority over every other. ditusive
stimuiant as diuretic, tonic aud restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men of the highest rank published ina con-
dcnsed form, and enclosed with each bottle OF inc
Schnapss as one of the guarantees of its genuine
ness. Other precautions against fraud were also
adopted: patent was obtained for the article,
the label was copyrighted, Jdc Simte OF the pro-
prietor's autograph signature was attached 10 each
label and cover his namc and that Of The epiepara-
ton were embossed OIL the bottles, and. the corHs
were sealed with his private seal. No article lad
ever been sold in this country under The name OF
Schnapps prior to the Introduction of Wolfes
Schiedam Aromatic Sehnapps, in 1851; and the
label was deposited as his trade mark, in the Uni
led States District Court for the Southern District
of New York 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
1enciiIpe dcletcriOus trash under their name, that
the protection SO carefully thrown around these.
;Schnapps would have -precuded the introduction
and sale Of countcrfeits. They seem, however, TO
have only stimulated the rapacity Of imposters.
The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen;
the Endorsement which his Schedam Aromatic
Schnspps alone received from the medical profess
sion has been claimed by mcndacious hunbugs;
his labels and bottles have been initiated, his sd,
yertsements paraphrased his circulars copied, and
worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after dspo
sing of the genuine contents Of his bottles, have
filled them up with common gin, the l1ost delete
,ious Of all liquors, and thus made his name and
brand cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession and the sick.
for whom the Schicdam ArOIhaic Schnapps Is
prescribed as remedy, arc equally Interested

sion Of these nefarious practices. The genuine
article. manu- ufacturcd at the establishment of the

from barley Of the finest quality, and favored
with Nm essential extract Of the berry Of the ltal
ian juniper, of unequalled purity. Ry process
unknown in the preparation OF any other h2nor
it is freed from every acrimonious and corrosive
