L When the pure medicinal restorative. now &c
| widely known as Wolfe's SoHfEDAM sCHNAPPs
was introduced into the world, under the endorse
ment OF 4, 900 leading members Of the medical pro
fession some twenty years ago, its proprietor was
well aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached to new and useful preparations
he, therefore, endeavored to invest it with the
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
ers, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. It submitted to distinguish.
ed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them
the purest spirit evor manufactured. It's purity
and properties having been thus ascertained
samples Of the article were forwarded to 10000
physciare, Including ~ she ,5aIing practitioners
in the United States, for purposes Of experiment
A circular, requesting a trial OF the preparation
and report Of the result, accompanied each
specimen. 1000 OF the most eminent medical men
in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions
OF the article were unanimously favorable. Such q
preparation, they said, had long been wanted BY
the profession, as no reliance could be placed on
the ordinary liquors of commerce; all Of which
were more or less adalterated, and, therefore
unit for medical purposes. The peculiar excel
lence and strength OF the oil OF juniper, which
formed one OF the principal ingredients Of the
Schnapps. together with an unalloyed character
OF the alcoholic element give it, III the estimation
OF the faculty, marked superiority every
other dlhuslve stlmulant as = dluretic, tonic and
restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men OF tho highest rank were published in a
condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle
OF the Schnapps, one of the guar otees OF itt
genuineness. Other precautions ag ..inst fraud
were also adopted; patent was obta. I'D for the
article tho label was copyrighted, a + sin,ile OF
the proprietors 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 Wolfes
Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and the
label wac deposited, as hia trade mark, in the
United States District Courffor the Southern Dis
trict of New York during that year.
1t might be supposed, by persons unacquaintet
with the daring character OF the pirates who prey
upon the reputation Of honorable merchants, BY
vending deeteriOus trash under their name thai
the projections 30 carefully thrown around these
Schnapps would have precluded the introductions
and sale OF counterfeits. They seem, however
only to have stimulated the rapacity Of imposters
The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen
the endorsement which his Schiedam 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, dishonorablc retailers aftc
disposing of the genuine contents of his bottles
have filled them up with common gin, the mos
deeterious of all liquors. and thus made his name
| and brand a cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession and the sick
tor whom the Echiedam Aromatic Schnapps i,
prescribed as remedy, are equally interested will
the proprietor in the detection and suppression O
these nefarious practices. The genuine article
manufactured at the establishment of the under
signed, IN Schiedam, Eolland, is distilled from {
barley OF the finest quality, and favored with al
essential extract of the berry of the Italiar
jumper, OF unequaed purity. BY process un
known IN the preparation of any other liquor, it il
freed from every acrimonious and corrosive Gle
ment.
Complaints have been received from the LEADING
physicians and families in the Southern States
OF the sale of cheap limitations of the Schiedan
Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; and travel
ers who are in the habit of using it as antidot
to the baneful influence of unwholesome rive
water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedan
bottles ID frequently palmed off upon tho unwary
The'agents Of the undersigned havo been requested
to institute inquiries on tho subject, and to for
ward TO him the names of such parties as the,
may ascertain to be engaged in the atrocioui
system OF deception In conclusion, the under
signed would say that he has produced, from under
the hands Of the most distinguished men O
science in America, proofs unanswerable of tn,
purity and medicinal excellence Of the Schiedan
Aromatic Schnapps; that he has expended man,
thousand dollars in surrounding it with guaranteed
and safeguards, which he designed should protec
the public and himself against fraudulent imita
tlons that he has shown it to be the only liquor il
the world that can be uniformly depended upo1
| as unsdulturated; that he has challenged investi
CATION, analysis, comparison and experiment il
all its forms; and from every ordeal the prepa
ration which bears his name, seal and trade mark
has como off triumphant. He therefore, feels it [,
duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, t.
the medical profession and the sick, to denounc,
and expose the Charlatans who counterfeit thes
evidences Of identity, and he calls upon tho pres
and the public to aid him in his efforts to remed
30 great an evil.
The following letters and certificates, from tn
leading physicians and chemists Of this city, will
prove to the reader that all goods sold By tn
undersigned are all they represented to be.
UDOLPHO WOLFE.
feel bound to say, that regard your Schnapp
as being, in every respect, pre-eminently pure
it is the purest possible article of Holland Gin
heretofore unobtainable; and, as such, may b
safely prescribed by ply sicians.
