New YORK, November 8. 1858. J
To the People of the Southern States:
WIEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE,
now 30 widely known as WoLFE'S sCHIEDAAl
SCHNAPPS 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 aware that it could not wholly
escape the reualty attached to all new and useful
prepsratons He therefore, cRdeayored to invest il
with strongest possible safeguard against counter
feters and to render all attempts to pirate it dill
cult and dangerous. 1t was submitted to dstln.
ralshed chemists for analysis and pronounced by
them the purest spirit manufactured. Its puri-
ty and properties having ueen thus ascerained SAM
pies of the article werc forwarded to ten thousand
physicians including all the leading practitioners in
the United States, for purposes of experiment. A
circular, requesting trial of the preparation and
report OF ,be result accompanied each specimen.
Four thousand of the most eminent medical men IN
the Union promptly responded. Thor opinlons oi
the article were unanimously favorable. sucn q
preparation, they said, had long been wanted oy
the profession reliance could be placed on Inc
ordinary liquors of commerce. all OF which wore
moro or less adulterated. and therefore unit LOT
medical purposes The peculiar OK ellence and
strength Of the OF Of jumper which formed one OF
the principal ingredients OF the schnapps, together
with an uralloyed character Of the alcoholic eio-
ment. give it, in the estimation of the faculty,
marked superle-ty every other difusiV5 stiDu'
liant as diure,ic, tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
mon of the highest rank were published in q con-
densed form, and enclosed with each bottle OF The
schnapps, as of the guarantees of its genuine
nees. Other precautions agains! fraud wore also
adopted; patent WAS obtained for the article the
label was copyrighted, fac sinie Of Tho proprle or
autograph signature attached to each label and
cover hs name aud that of the preparation were M
tossed on the bottles and the corks were sealed with
bis private seal. No article had ever been sold IN
this country under the name Of Sc prior to
the introduction Of Wolfs's Schicdan Aromatic
Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited, as
his trade mark in the United States Distric. Court
for the Southern District Of New York during that
year.
1t might be supposed by persons unncquainted
with the lrlng character of the pirales who prey
upon the reputation othonorable merchants by vend-
ing deeterous trash under their name. that the pro-
tectens so carefully thrown around those schnapps
would have precluded tho introduchons and sale OF
counterfeits. They seem, however only to have
stimulated the rapaoity of imposLors. The tIado
mark OF tn proprietor has been stoleh; the ndorse
mont which his fchiedam Aromatic schnapps alone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed bJ mendscious huDbugs; his labels and
bottles have been INFLATED. his advertisements par-
phrased, his circulars copied, and worso than all,
ishonolabe retailers after dspospg of the genuine
contents of hls bottles have filed thom up with
common gil, tho most dcleerious Of all liquors, aud
thus made his name ana brind a cover for poison.
1he public, the medical profession and The sick,
for whom The schiedam aromatic schnapps is pre-.
scribed as remedy, are equally intereste with the
proprietor in the detection aud suppression Of those
nolarious practices. Tho genuine article manuiac-
tured at TIE establishment of the undersigned in
ehiedam, Holland, ls disilled from barley OF the
fnest quality and favored with an essential extract
Of the berry of the ILun u lpe, OF uncquallcd pu'
rity. BY process unknown in the preparation OF
any other liquor it IS freed lrom every acrimonious
and corrosive element.
Complaints have boen received from the leading
the sale of cheap mutations OF the schiedam Aro-
matte Schnapps in those markets; and travellers,
who are in the habit OF using 1t US an anidoa to the
baneiul influence of unwholesome civer water. tes-
tifS that cheap gin put up in SchieGaai bottles Is
palmed Off upon the unwary. The
agopts of the undersigned have been requested to
institute inquiries the bjee an1 to forward to
him tue names Of such parties rs they may asc'r-
tain TO be engaged in the atroious system OF decep-
tion In conclusion. the undersigned would say that
he ha produced from under the hands of the mot
hea men OF science in America proofs un
npswerable of the purity aud meuicinal excel
lence OF the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps that
he has expended many thousand dollars in sur
rounding il with guarantees and safeguards, which
he DESIGNED should project the public aud himself
against fraudulent limitations; thai ne has shown 1t
TO be the only liquor IN the world that can be uni
formly depended upon upad dultsrated that lie has

mark has come of triumph nt qe, therefore, feels
1t duty he owes to his tellow-citzns generally to
the medical profession and the sick, to denounce
and expose the charatsns who counterfeit these evl
dencies OF identity, and he calls upon the pross and
the ublic to aid him In his efforts TO remedy great
an evil.
