10 tho Pcoplo OF the sOuthcrn Stntess
WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE,
now so widely known as wOLFE'S sCHIEDAM
SCHNAPPs, was IN reduced into tho world under
the endorsement Of four thousand leading members
of the medical profession twenty years ago. its
proprietor well aware ihat it could not wholly
escape the penalty attached to all new and useful
preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invest II
with strongest possible safeguard against counter
feiters, and to render ali attempts to pirate 1t diff.
cult and dangerous. 1t wae submitted to Dustin.
gu1shed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by
them the purest spirit manufactured Its puri-
ty and properties having thus ascertained sam
pies of the article were forwarded to ten thousand
physicians including all the leading practitioners
the United States for purposes of experiment. A
circular, requesting trial OF the preparation and
report Of the result, accompanied each specimen
-Four thousand OF the most eminent medical men in
the Union promptly responded. Their opipions OF
the article were unanimously favorable. Such q
preparation. they said, had long been wanted by
the profession as reliance could be placed the
ordinary liquors Of commerce. all Of which were
more or less adulterated and therefore unfit for
medical purposes. The peculiar ex -ellcnoe and
strength of the OF of juniper which termed one Of
the principal ingredients of the schnapps together
with an unalloyed character Of the alcoholic ele-
ment give II. in the estimation OF tho faculty. q
marked super1o-ty over every other di9usive shmu-
liant as dturettc tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men Of the HIGHEST rank were published in con-
densed form. and enclosed with each bottle of the
sohnapps as enc of the guarantees Of it's genuine
news. Other precautions against fraud werc also
adopted; patent was obtained for the article the
label was copyrighted ac ssuite Of the
autograph sis66ture attached to each label and
cover his name aud that of the preparation were en-
hossed on the betes and the eorks were sealed with
his private seal. No article had ever beer sold in
this country under the name Of schnapps prior to
the intxoduction Of Wolse's Echiedan Aromatic
schnapps In 1861; and the label was deposited, as
bis trade mark In the United States District Court
fox the Southern District of New York during that
year,
1t might be supposed by persons unscauainted cd
with the daring ebaracter of the pirates who prey
upon The reputation OF honorable merchants by vend-
Ing dcaeeEteus lash under their name that the pro.
teotons 30 carefully thrown around these sohnapps
would have preciuded tho ntxoducttons and sale OF
counteFfeats. They seem. however. only to have
stimulated the rspacity Of impostors. The trade
mark OF tbs proprietor has been stolen; the indorse
ment which hts Sobiedam Aromatic sohnapps clone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed by msndacious humbugs; his labels and
bottles have been inflated his advertisements para
phrased, his circulars copied. and worse than all,
dishonorable retailers. aer disposing Of the genuine
contents Of his bottles. have filed them up with
common en the most dese,erious Of all liquors. and
thus made his name ana hr md cover for poison.
Tho public, the medical profession and the sick
for whom the Schisdam aromatic schnapps ss pre-
scrthed as remedy, equally intereste, with the
proprietor in the deteclon and suppression Of these
neiarious practices. The genuine article, manuac-
