1t might be supposed by persons unacquatnied
with the daring character of the pirates who prey
upon the reputattonof honorable merchants by vend

would have precluded the introductions and sale of
counterfeits They seem, however, only to have
stimulated the rapacity of impostors. The trade
mark of thu proprietor has been stolen the indorse
ment which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed by mendacious humbugs;- his labels and
bottles have been initiated. his advertisement g para

Complaints have been receiveda from the leading
physicians and families in the Southern States of

TO be the only liquor in the world that be uni

I feel bound to say, that regard your schnapps
as being in every respect pre-eminently pure, and
deserving OF medical patronage At all events it is
the purest possible article of Holland Gin, hereto
tore unobtalnable and such may be safely pre-
scribed by physicians. ff
