the endorsement of four thousand leading members
OF the medical profession twenty years ago. its
proprietor was well aware that 1t could not wholly
escape the penalty attached to all new and useful
preparations. He therefore, endeavorcd to invest
with strongest possible safeguard against counter
feiters and to render all attempts to pirate it diff
cult and dangerous. It was submitted to distin.

them the purest spirit manufactured Its puri-

physicians including all the leading practitioners in

Four thousand of the most eminent medical men in
the Union promptly responded. Their opiuions of

the profession as reliance could be placed on the
ordinary liquors Of commerce. all of which were
more or less adulterated. and therefore unit for

the principal ingredients of the schnapps together
with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic ele-
ment, give 1t. in the estimation Of the faculty. o
marked superiority over every other dusive stimu-
liant as diure,ic tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men OF the highest rank were published in a con-
densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the
schnapps as ono of the guarantees of its genuine

cover his name and that Of the preparation were
tossed on the botes and the corks were 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 schedam Aromatic
Schnapps. in 1851; and the label was deposited as
his trade mark, in the United States District Cour
for the Southern District Of New York during that
year.
