SOLE IMPORT. OF THE SCHIEDAM AROMATIC ScuNAPPs
% BEAVER STREET, New YORK, Nov 8, '6s.
To the People Of The Southern States.
When the pure medicinal restorative now so
widely known as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS.
was introduced into the world, under the endorse
ment of 900 leading members of the medical pro-
fession, some twenty years ago, it's proprietor was
well aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached to new and useful prenara atic.s
De, therefore, endeavored to invest it with the
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
ers and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. 1t was submitted to distinguish
ed d chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them
the purest spirit ever manufactured. It's purity
and properties having been thus ascertaned,
samples OF the article forwarded to 10 900
physicians, including all the leading practitioners
in the United States, for purposes Of experiment.
A circular requesting a trial of the preparation
and report of the result, accOmpan MED each
specimen. 1000 of tho most eminent medical men
in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions
Of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
the ordinary liquors of commerce; all of which
were more or less aduterated, and, therefore,
unit for medical purposes. The peculiar excel
formed one OF the principal ingredients OF the
Schnapps. together with an unaloyed character
OF the alcoholic element, give it, III the estimation
or the faculty, marked superiority every
other diffusve stmulant dluretic, tonic and
restorative.
men OF tho highest rank published in
condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle
OF the Schnapps, as one Of tho guarantees of it's
genuineness. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obtained for the
article, the label copyrighted, fac sinale of
the proprietor's autograph signature was attached
to each label and cover, his name and that Of the
preparation were embossed on the bottles. 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
Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and the
label was deposited, his trade mark. in the
United States District Court for the Southern Dis
trict OF New York during that year.
1t might be supposed, by persons unacquanted
with the daring character OF the pirates who prey
vending deleterious trash under their name, that
the projections so carefully thrown around these
Schnapps would have precluded the introductions
only to have stimulated the rapacity of imposters.
The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen:
the endorsement which his Schedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the medical pro-
fession has been claimed by mendacious humbugs;
his labels an bottles have been initiated his ad-
vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied,
and, worse than all, dishonorabe retailers. after
dlsposlng OF the genuine contents of his bottles,
have Tiled them up with common gn the most
deleterious of all liquors. and thus made his name
and brand cover for poison.
Ihe pubic. the medical profession and the sick,
for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is
the proprietor in the detection and suppression of
these nefarious practices. The genuine article,
manufactured at the establishment OF the under
signed, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from
barley Of the finest quality, and favored with an
essential extract OF the berry of the Italian
juniper, of 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
ers who are in the habit OF using it an antdote
to the baneful influence OF unwholesomo river
water, testify that cheap gin, put up in schiodam
bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the uuwary.
Thelagents of the undersigned have been requested
to institute inquiries on the subject and to for
ward to him the names OF such parties as they
may ascertain to be engaged in the atrocious
signed would say that he has produced, from under
tho hands of the most distinguished men of
! science in America, proofs unanswerable OF the
