SOLE IMPORT. OF THE ScHIEDaM AROMATIC ScnNApps
% BEAVER STREET, New YORK, Nov. 3, 'Gs.
To The People Of the Southern States.
When the pure medicinal restorative. now 80
widely known as wolfe'a SCHIEDAM SCHNAPpS,
was introduced into the world, under the endorse
ment OF T. 900 leading members of the medical pro-
fcssion, some twenty years ago, it's proprietor
well aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached 20 new and useful preparations
He, therefore, cndcavorcd to invest it with the
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
crs anu to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. 1t was submitted to distinguish
ed chemists for analyeis, and pronounced by them
the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity
and properties having been thus ascertaiueo,
samples OF the article were forwarded to 10, O0O
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. 1000 of the most eminent medica men
IN the Union promptly responded. Their opinions
Of the article we're unanimously favorable. Such a
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
the profession, IA no reliance could be placed on
tho ordinary liquors of commerce: all of whicl,
were more or Iess adulterated, and, therefore,
unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar excel
lence and strength or the oil of juniper which
formed ono OF the principal ingredients of the
Schnapps. together with unalloyed character
OF the alcoholic element, give it, III the estimation
other dlfuslvc stimuant as diuretic, tonic and
restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men OF the highest rank were published in 4
condensed form, and enclosed with each bot
OF the Schnapps, IA one OF the guarantees of Its
commences. Other precautions against fraud
were also adopted; patent was obtained for tho
article the label was copyrighted fac S,nRe OF
the proprlctors autograph signature was attachc
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 Wolfc's
Schicdam Aromatic ScEnapps, i'll 1851; and tho
label was deposited as his trade mark, in the
United States District Court for the Southern Dis
ric! of New York during that year.
