WHEN THEPURE MEDICINAL
RESTORATIVE, now 50 widely
known as, ,WULFE;S .SCHlEDAM
SCHNAPPS, was introduced iuto the
world under the endorsement OF four
thousand leading members Of the mcdl-
cal profession some twenty years ago,
its -proprictoE-,@as.ew well aware that 1t
could NOT wholly eseape the peualty at
tachcd to all new and useful prePara-
tions: He, therefore, eudeavored to
invest it with strons sest possible safe.
guard against couutcrfeiters, and to
render all attempts TO pirate 1t difficult
Ind dangerous. 1t was submitted to
distinguished chemists iur analysis, and
pronounced by them the prrcst spirit
eyer manufactured. Its purity and
properties having been thus ascertained,
>am pies of the urtlcle were forwarded to
ten thousand physicians, including all
the leauing pracllllon' rs in the Quilted
States, for the purposes OF experiment.
A circular, requesting trial OF the
preparation and u report ot, the result,
accompanied each specimen. -Four
thousand o! the most eminent medical
men in HE Union promptly responded.
Their opinions OF the aIticlc werc uhat-
imously favorable. Such II preparation
they said, had long been wanted by the
profession, as no, reliance could bc
placed On the ordinary liquors Of !conl-
mcrce, all of which were more or less
adultcra.cd, aud therefore unit tor
medical purposes. The peculiar excel
lence aud strength OF the oil Of juniper,
which formed one Of the principal III
grc'icnts Of the Schuapps, together
with an unalloyel character of the alco-
hol element, give it, in the estimation
Of the faculty, nsarked superiority
over every other dltfusire. stimulant Us
diur,tic, tonic and restorative. ...
These satisfactory. credentials from
professional men of the highest rank,
were published III condensed form
and enclosed with each bottle Of the
Schnapps; as one, of its gcpuincness -

dacious huml,ugs; his labels and bottles

worse than all, dlshonorablc retailers,
after disposing Of the genuine contents
of his bottles, have filed them up With
common gin, the most delc:erious of
all liquors, and thus ma'ic his name aud

The pablic, the medical profession,
and tue sick, for whom the Schedam
Aromatic Svllnapps is prescribed as
rem dy, are equally interested with the
proprietor in the detection and surprcs.
sion Of these netarious practices. The
genuine article, manufactured at the
establishment Of the undersigned in
Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from
barley Of the finest quality, and ta-
vorcd with an essential extract of the
berry of the Italian juniper, of unequal
led purity. BY process unknown in
the preparation OF any liqnor, it is
freed from every acrimonious and cor.
rosive element. .. ...
Complaints have been received from
the leading physicians and families in
Southern States of the sale of cheap
limitations of the Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps in those markets; and trav-
ellcr who are in the habit of using itas
an antidote to the baneful influence OF
uuwholesomc river water, testify that
cheap gin, put up in SchnapP bottles,
is frequently palmed off upon the un.
wary. The agents Of the undersigned
