10 We Ieople Of The Southern States
When tho pure medicinal restorative now 30
widely known as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPpS,
was introduced iuto tho world under tho endorse
ment OF 900 leading members OF the medical pro-
fession, some twenty years ago, it's proprietor was
we'll aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached to and useful prepar ations
He, therefore, cndcavored to invest it with the
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
ers, and to render all attempts pirate it difficult
and dangerous. 1t was submitted to distinguish
ed chemists for analysis and pronounced by them
tho purest spirit ever manufactured. It's purity
and properties having been thus ascertained
samples Of the article were forwarded to 10000
PHYSICIANS, including all the leading practitioners
in the United States, for purposes of experiment
circular, requesting trial of the preparation
and report of the result accompanied each
specimen. 1000 OF the most eminent medical men
in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions
OF the article were unanimously favorable Such l.
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
the profession, as no reliance could be placed on
the ordinary liquors of cemmorce; all of which
were more or less adulterated, and, therefore,
unht Tor medical purposes. The peculiar excel
lence and strength OF the oil of juniper which
formed one of the principal ingredients of the
Schnapps. together with an unalloycd character
OF the alcoholic element give it, in the estimation
OF the faculty, q marked superiority over every
other diffusive stimulant diuretic, tonic and
restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men OF tho highest rank published in a
condemned form, and enclosed with each bottle
OF the Schnapps, one of the guarantees OF its
genuinencss Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obt aimed for the
article, the label was copyriS htcd fac SniIe of
the proprietors = autograph signature WAS attached
to each label and cover. his name and that of the
preparation were embossed ON the bottles and the
cor were sealed with his private seal No article
had ever been sold in this country under tho name
Of Schnapps prior to the Introduction of Wolfe's
Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in 1851; and the
label was deposited. as his trade mark in the
United States District Court for the Southern Dis
trict of New York during that year.
IL might be supposed, by persons unacquainted
with the daring character Of the pirates vino prey
upon the reputation of honorable merchants by
vending deletcrious trash under their name, that
the projections SO carefully thrown around these
Schnapps would have prcclrded the introduclions
and sale of counter;eits: They seem, however,
only to have stimulated the rapacity of impo
Tho trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen:
the endorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the medical pro-
iession has been claimed by mendacious humbugs;
his labels an bottles have been initiated, his ad-
vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied
and, worse than all, dishonorable retailers after
dlsposlng OF the genuine contents of his bottles
have tiled them up with common gin, the most
deletcrions of all liquors. and thus made his name
and brand cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession and the 81, k
FOR whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps il
prescribed as aremedy, 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

barley of tho finest quality. and favored with an
essential extract OF the berry Of the Italian
juniper, or unequalled purity. 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
OF the sale of cheap limitations of the Schiedam
Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; and travel
