Four thousand of the most eminent medical men in
the Union promptly responded. Their OPINIONS of
the article were unanimously favorable Such a
preparation, they said, had long been wanted by
the profession, IA reliance could be placed on the
ordinary liquors of commerce. oil Of which were

the principal ingredients Of the Schnapps, together
with an uralloyed character of the alcoholic ele-

marked superoty over every other diffusive stimu-
ant as diuretic. tcnic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men of the h'gtast rank published in con-

bossed on the bottles and the corks sealed with
MS private seal. No article had ever been sold in
this country under the name Of Schnapps prior to
the Introduction Of Wofe's schiedam Aromatic
schnapps in 1851; and the label was deposited, az
his trade mark, in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York during that
year.
It might be supposed by persons unacquain,ed ed
with the daring character of the pirates who prey
upon the reputation ofhonorabe merchants by vend-
ing deleerous Srash under their nae that the pro-
tections 30 carefully thrown around these schnapps
would have precIuded the introduc ons and sale OF
counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have
snmu!a'ed tho rapacity of 1mpostors. The trade
mark OF th, proprietor has been stolen the ndorse-
ment which his schicdam Aromatic Schnapps alone
received from the medical profession has been
claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and
bottles have beenimitated his advertisements para
phrascd, his circulars copied, and worse than ALL
retailers. after dsposing the genuine
contents OF his bottles, have filed them up with
common ein the most deleerious Of all liquors, and
thus made his name and brlnd cover for poison.
1he public, the medical profession and the sick
for whom the Schtedam Aromatic schnapps Is pre-
scr'bed as remedy are equally intereste with the
proprietor In the detection and suppression of these
nefarious practices. The genuine article, manuiac-
tured ut tie establishment Of the undersigned in
cmedam, H oland, is distilled from barley of the
finest quality and favored with essential extract
of the berry Of the italian jusipe OF uncqualled pu
rity. BY process unknown in the preparation of
any other liquor it is freed from every acrimonious
aud corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the leading
physicians and families In the Southern States of
the sale OF cheap limitations of the Schedam Aro-
matte schnapps In those markets; and travellers
who are in the habit OF using as an antdote to the
baneful influence Of unwholesome river water. tes-
