WHEN The PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE,

ScHSAPPS, was introduced into the world under
the endorsement Of four thousand leading members
Of the medical profession some twenty years ago. Its
proprietor was we'll awaee that it could not wholly

report Of the result accompanied each specimen.
Four thousand of the most eminent medical men In
the Union promptly responded. Their opinions OF
the article were unanimously favorable. Such
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
the profession, reliance could be placed on the
ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were
more or less adulterated. and therefore unfit for
medical purposes The peculiar e1, ellenoe and

upon ths reputation o(honorable merchants by vend-
Ing daleerous trash under their name that the pro-
teetssns 30 carefully thrown around these Sohnarp'
would have precluded the inroductlons and sale OF
counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have
stimulated tho rapsoity of ,mpostors. The trade
mark OF tn proprietor has been stolen; the indorse
