When the pure medicinal restorative now so
widely known as Wolfes SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS
was introduced into the world under the endorse
ment OF 1000 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 preparations
be, therefore, endeavored to invest it with the
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
ers; ana TO render all attempts to pirate it difficult
ana dangerous 1t was submitted to distinguish
ed chemists for analysis and pronounced by them
the purest spirit eve- manufactured. Its purity
and properties having been thus ascertained
samples OF the article were forwarded to 10000
Physclans including all the leading practitioners
In the United States, for purposes of experiment.

specimen. 1000 of the most eminent medical men
In the Union promptly responded. Their opinions
Oh the article were unanimously favorable. Such
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,

formed one of the principal ingredients of the
Schnapps. together with an unaloyed character

restorative.
men OF tho highest rank were published in
condemned form, and enclosed with each bottle
or the Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of it's
genuineness. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obtained for the

preparation were embossed on the bottles and the
corks were sealed with his private seal No article

Inc public, the medical profession and the sick
Tor whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is
pr prescribed as remedy are equally interested with
the proprietor in the detection and suppression of
these nefarl0us practices. The genuine article
manufactured at the establishment of the under.

BARLEY of the finest quality and ayored with an
juniper, OF unequalled parity. BY process un-
known IN the preparation of any other liquor it is
freed from every acrimonious and corrosive ele-
ment. ~
Complaints have been received from the leading
physicians and families in the Southern States,
