When the pure utdlcinal restorative now
SO widely known MS Wolfe's Schiedsn
Schnapps, wssindroduced into The world I'M
der the endorsement Of four thousand leads
ing members of the medical profession some
20 years ago, its proprietor was well aware
that II could not wholly escape the penalty
attached to oil new and useful preparations.
| He therefore, endeavOred to invest IL with
the strongest possible sale guards against
couuterfeiters, and to render all attempts TO
pirate il difficult and dangerous. 1t was
50 omitted to distinguished chemists for
analysis, ana pronounced by hem the purest
shirt ever manufactured. Its purity and
properties having been thus asccrtained,
samples of the article were forwarded TO ten
thousand physicians. including the leading
| practitioners ia the United States, for pur-
poses Of experiment. a circular requesting
u trial of the preparation and II report of the
result, accompanied each specimen. Four
! thousand Of the most emineut medical men
in the union promptly responded. Their
opinions Of the article were unanimously
favorable. Such IL 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 adulterated, and therefore unfit for
medical purposes. The peculiar excellenees
and strength of the oil Of juniper, which
formed one Of the principal ingredients Of
the Schnapps, together With an nnalloyed
character Of the alcoholic element, give 1t, in
the estimation of the faculty, marked SUI
periority over every other diffusive stimu-
liant AS IL diuretic, tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from profess
sional men Of the highest rank were pub
lished in condensed form, and enclosed
with each bottle of the Schnapps, AS one Of
the guarantees of its genuineness. Other pre-
cautions were alec adopted; II patent was OBJ
, tanned for the article, the libel was copy
righted, fac smile of the proprietor's auto
graph sigaiure was attached 10 each label anS
cover, his name and that of the preparation
were embossed on the bottles, and the corks
were sealed with his private seal. No arti-
Gle has ever been sold in this country under
The name of Schapps prior TO the introduc.
lion of VOLTS ScheidAm Aromatic Schnapps,
in 1861; and the label was deposited, as his
trade mark, in the United States District
Court for the Southe District of New York
for that year
1t might be supposed by persons unac.
quainted with the daring character Of the
pirates who prey npon the reputation OF
honorable merchants by vending deleterious
trash under their name, that the prot ections

would have precnded the introduction and
sale of counte feits. They seem, however,
only to have stimulated the rapacity Of i'm.
posters The trade mark of the proprietor
has been stolen; the Endorsement which the
Scheidaln Aromatic Scnapps alone received
from the medical profession has been claimed
by mendncious humbugsj his labels and bot.
ties have been initiated, his advertisements
paraphrased, his circulars copied, and worse
than ALL diShonorable retailers, after dspos
ing of the genuine contents of his bottles,
have filled them up with common gin, the
most deleterons Of all liquors, and thus mhde
his name and brand cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession and the
sick, for whom the Schei lam Aromatic
Schnapps is prescribed rs remedy, are
equally interested with the proprietor in the
detection and suppression ofthese nsfarious
practices. The genuine article, nanufnc.
tured at the establishment of the under.

from a barley of the finest quality, and fla
vored with AN essential extract of the berry OF
the Italian Juniper, of unequalled purity.
