WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL

known as WOLFES- SCHIEDANl
SUHNAPPS, was introduced into the
world under the endorsement OF four
thousand leading members Of the mcdi.
cal profession some twenty years ago,
its proprietor was well aware that 1t
could not wholly esc1pe the peualty at
tached to all new and useful prepara:
lions: He, therefore, eudeavored to
invest it with, strongest possible safe
guard against cuuuterfeiters, and to
render all attempts to pirate 1t dlfilcutt
and dangerous. It was submitted 10
distinguished chemists Tor aual ysIs, alIc
pronounccd"by them rhe purest spirit
ever manufactured. Its purity aud
properties having been thus, ,ascertalnedj !
>amplcs of the article were forwarded "
ten thousand physicians, Including all
the leaning praclltiontrs in the Uuited
States, for tn. purposes OF expcrIlnent.
A circular, re1uesllnga hlai OF the
preparation and report, of the result,
accompanied each specimen. Four
thousand ot the most eminent medical
! men iu the Union promptly responded.
Their opinions Of The article were unan-
lmously favorable. Such preparation
they SAID, had long been wanted BY the
profession, as no reliance could be
placed on the ordinary liquors Of .coni-
nerce, all of which. were more or less
adulterated, aud therefore unfit TOR
medical purposes. The peculiar excel
lence aud strength Of the oi! Of juniper,
which formed one Of the principal III
gradients of the Schuapps, together
with an uualloyel character OF the aleo'
hol element, give it, iuthe estimation
of the faculty, a'nlarked superiority
over every other dltlusive stimulant US
diur,tic, tonic aud restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from
professional men ol the highest rank,
were publish d iu u condensed form

It might be supposed by persons un,
aettuaiiutcd wirh the daring eharaster OF
the pirates who prey Upon the rrpula,
tion OF honorable merchants by vending
delcterious trash under their nalLe, that
the projections so carefully thrown a
round these schnnpps would have pre-
cluded the iutroductions and sale Oi

to have stimulated the rapacity uf im-

dacious humbugs; his labels and BOTTLES
have been initiated, lis advertisements
paraphrased, his circulars copied, and
worse than all, dishonorablc retailers,
after disposing Of tho genuine contents
Of his bottles, have filed them up with
common gin, the INST dclc:crious Of
all liquors, and thus made his name and
brand cover FIR poison.
The public, the medical profession
and the sick, for whom the Schicdan
Aromatic SchporPs is prescribed as q
remedy, are equally interested with the
proprietor in the detection and suppress
sion Of these nefarious practices. Tho
genuine article, manufactured at the
establishment of the Undersigned in
Sclicdam, Holland, is distilled from a
barley of the finest quality, and Ha-
vored with an essential extract Of the
berry Of the Italian juniper, of unequal,
led purity. BY process unknown in
the preparation of any liquor, It IS
freed from every acrimonious and cor
rosivc clement. -.
Complaints have been received from
the leading physicians and families in
Southern States of the sale OF cheap
limitations of the Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps in those markets; and trav-
ellers who are in the habit of using it as
an antidote to the baneful influence Of
uuwholesome river water, testify that
cheap gin, put up in Sehnapp bottles,
is frequently pahned off upon the un:
wary. The agents Of the undersigned
have been requested to institute inqui'
ries on the subject, and to forward tu
him the names Of such parties as they
may ascertain to BE- engaged in the
atrocious system of deception. In con,
