SCnuhpPSs VOS6tn6r Will An unSuOySdt character
OF the alcoholic element. give it, in the estimation
h OF the df;seenlty, marked superiority over every
restorative. r y
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men OF tho highest rank published in q
condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle
OF the Schnapps, as one OF the guarantees of it's
genuineness. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obtained for the
article, the label was copyrighted, fac sin,ile of
the prpprletor's autograph signature was attached
to each label aud cover. his name and that of the
preparation were embossed on the bottles. and the
corks sealed with his private seal No article
had ever been sold in this country under the name
Of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's
Schledam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and the
label was deposited. as his trade mark in the
United States District Court for lie Southern Dis
trict of New York during that year.
lt might be supposed, ny PERSONS unacquainted
with the daring character of the pirates who prev
upon the reputation OF honorable merchants by
vending dclcterious trash under their name that
the projections carefully thrown around these
Schnapps would have prccluded the introductions
| and sale of counterfeits. They seem however
only to have stimulated the rapacity of imposters
Ihe trade mark OF the proprietor has been stolen:
the endorsement which his Schedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the medical pro
fession has been claimed by mentlacous humbugs;
MS labels an bottles have been initiated his aC-
vertlsements paraphrased, his circulars copied.
and, worse than all, dishunorabe retailers after
disposlng of the genuine contents of his bottles,
nave hllcd them up with common gin the most
deeterious of all liquors. and thus made his name
and brand cover for poison.
1Hc puOIic, tHe ueulcal profession and the sick,
Tor whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ia
prescribed as remedy are equally interested with
the proprietor i'll the detection and suppression OF
these nefarious practices. The genuine article,
manufactured at the establishment of the under
signed, in Schiedam, holland, is distilled from 4
barley OF the finest quality and favored with an
essential extract of the berry OF the Italian
juniper, OF unequaled purity. BY q process un-
known i'll the preparation of any other liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious ard corrosive ele-
ment.
Complaints have been received from the icatine,
physicians and families in the Southern States
of the sale of cheap limitations of the Schicdam
Aromatic Schnapps i'll those markets. and travel
ers who in the habit of using it az an antdote
to the baneful influence of unwholcsome river
water testify that cheap gin, put up in Schicdam
bottles, Is frequently palmed off upon the unwarv
Ihe'agents of tho undersigned have be IN
to institute inquiries on the subject, and to for
ward to him tho names of such parties as they
may ascertain to be engaged in the atrociou,
system OF deception In conclusion, the under
signed would say that he has produced, from under
the hands of the most distinguished men of
science in America, proofs unanswerable of the
purity and medicinal excellence of the Schicdam
Aromatic Schnapps; that he has expended many
thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees
and safeguards, which he designed should protect
the public and himself against fraudulent imita-
tlons; that he has shown it to be the only liouor in
the world that be uniformly depended npon
as nnadulturated; that he has challenged nvcsti
CATION, analysis, comparison, and experiment in
all It's forms: and from every ordeal tie prcpa-
ration which bears his name, seal and trade mark
has come off triumphant He, therefore feels it n
uutN lie owes TO his fellOwcltiZcnS gencrallv, tn
the medical profession and the sick, to denonnce
and expose the Charlatans who counterfeit these
evidences OF identity, and he calls upon the press
and the public to aid him in his efforts to remedy
so great an evil
The following letters and certificates from the
leading physicians and chemists of this citv will
prove TO the reader that all goods sold by the
undersigned are all they are represented to be.
