VIXEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE,
now SO widely known as WOLFE'S sCHIEDAM
SCHNAPPS. was introduced into the world under
the endorsement Of four thousand leading members
OF the medical profession some twenty years ago. it's
proprietor was we'll aware that it could not wholly
essape the penalty attached to all new and useful
preparations He, therefore, endeavored to invest il
with strongest possible safeguard against counter
fstters and to render all attempts to pirate it diff
cult and dangerous. 1t submitted to distin.
guishsd chemists for analysis, and pronounced by
them the purest spirit ever manufactured Its puri-
ty and properties having been thus ascertained
pies Of the article forwarded to ton thousand
physicians including all the leading practitioners in
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 enaiaent medical men in
the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of
the article were unanimously favorable. Such
preparation, they eatd, had long been wanted by
the profession, as resnoe ooud be placed on the
ordinary liquors Of commerce, all Of which were
more or less adulterated, and therefore unat for
medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and

These satisfactory credentials from professional
men Of the highest rank were published in q con-

this country under the name Of schnapps prior to

1t might be supposed by persons unacquainted
with the daring character of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation ofhonorable merchants by vend-
Ing deleterous trash under their name that the pro.
tectons 80 carefully thrown around these Schnapps
would have precluded the introductons and sale OF
counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have
stimulated the rapacity Of inapostors. The trade
mark OF tbs proprietor has been stolen the indorse
ment which his Sohiedam Aromatic sohnapps alone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and
bottles have been initiated. his advertisements para
pkrased, his circulars copied, and worse than ALL
dshonorable retailers. after disposing Of the genuine
contents OF his bottles, have filed them UP with
common gin, the most deleterioas of all liquors. aud
thus made his name and brlnd q cover for poison.
