Moro positive enres have been made with it than any other known medicine.

Tho following case has been re? ported to tho Proprietor: A sore leg-a very common disease-of an exanthematic character, so bad, so difficult of healing that lifo was despairod of, twenty-five years standing, obstinate, resisting all other known treatment, yields to thc pow? ers of tho Queen's Delight. Only six bot? tles, at a cost of $5, cures a disease which cost twenty-five years of treatment and much pain and distress of body and mind.

Office of ?dolpho Wolfe, SOLE ISBTOBTEB or TH? SCHIEDAM A SOMATIC SCHNAPPS, 22 BSAYEll 8TREET, NEW YORK, NOT. 3, '08. lb Hie People of the tiout/iern States. When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widoly known aa WOLFE'S SCHIE? DAM SCHNAPPS, wa? Introduced into the worid, under tho endorsement of 4,000 leading members of the medical profes? sion, somo twenty yearn ago, its proprie? tor was well aware that it could not wholly escapo the penalty attached to all new and useful pr?paration?. Ho, therefore, en-, deavored to invent it with the ?ti ongoat possible safeguard against counterfeiters, and to render all attempt? to piralo it dif ?oult and dangerous. It was submitted to diRtiTii>nUii(...i .jheniii.i? for analysis, ana pronounced by them the purest spirit over manufactured. It? parity and properties having been thu? ascertained, samples of | the article woro forwarded to 10,000 physi? cians, including all the leading practition-1 ere in tho Unitod State?, for purpose? of I experiment. A circular, requesting a trial J of the preparation and a report of the re? sult, accompanied each ?peeimen. 4,000 of the moat eminent medical men in the Union promptly roaponded. Their opinion? of tho article were uuanimouuly favorable. Such a preparation, they Haid, had lnn< been wanted hythe profeaaion, aa no reb? aneo ould be placed on tito ordinary liquors of commerce; all of which were more or lea? adulterated, and, therefore, unfit for medicnl purposes. The peculiar excellence and strength of the oil of juni? per, which formed one of the principal in? gredient? of tho Schnapp?, together with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic clement, give it, in the estimation of tho faculty, a marlu-d superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from pro? fessional men of tho highest rank were published in a condensed form, and en? closed with each bottle cf tho Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of it? genuine neus. Other precautions against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained for the article, the label wa? copyrighted, a/eic siiuile of the proprietor'? autograph signature wau attached to each label and cover, his name and that of the prepara? tion were enibosBedon the bottles, and the corks wore sealed with bia private seal. No articlo had over been sold in this coun? try undor tho name of Schnapps prior to tho introduction of Wolfe'? Schiedam Aro? matic Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited, as his trade mark, in the United States District Court for the Southern Dis? trict of New York during that year. It might bo auppoaed, by persons unac? quainted with the daring character of the | pirates who prey upon tho reputation of j honorable merchants, by vending delete- | rious trash under their name, that the protections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded tho introductions and salo of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimu? lated the rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen:! tho endorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from tho medical profession has benn claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottle? have been imitated, his advertise? ment? paraphrased, Iiis circulars copied, and, worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of tho genuino contents of Iii? bottles, have tilled them up with com? mon gin, the most deleterious of ah liquors, and thus made his name and brand a cover for poison. Thc public, the medical profession and tho sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is proscribed as a remedy, are equally interested with the proprietor in tho detection and suppression of these ne? farious practices. Tho genuino article, manufactured at tho establishment of tho undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is dis? tilled from a barley of tho finest quality, and flavored with an ossential extract of tho berry of tho Italian juniper, of une? qualled purity. By a process unknown in tho preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every acrimonious and corro? sivo clement. Complaints have been received from tho loading physicians and families in the Southern States, of tho salo of cheap imi? tation? of tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in thone markets; and travel, i s, who are in the habit of using it as an anti? dote to the baneful influence of unwhole? some river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon tho unwary. Tho agents of tito undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on tho subject, and to forward to htm tho names of ?uch parties as they may ascertain to bo engaged in tho atrocious Bystem of deception. In conclusion, tho undersigned would Bay that ho has produced, from under tho hand? of thc most distinguished men of Bcience in America, proof? unanswerable of tho parity and medicinal excellence of tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that ho has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safe? guards, which ho designed should protect tho public and himself against fraudulent imitations; that ho has shown it to be thc only liquor in tho world that can be uni? formly depended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forma; and from every ordoal the preparation which bears his name, seal and trade mark, haa come off triumphant. Ho, thoreforo, feola it a duty ho owe? to his fellow-citizens generally, to tho medical profession and tho sick, to denounce and oxposo tho Charlatans who counterfeit thes" evidences of identity, and ho calls upon tho press and tho public to aid him in hi? efforts to romedy BO great an evil. Tho following letters and certificates, from the leading physicians and chemists of titi? city, will prove to the reader that ^11 goods sold by tho undersigned aro all they are represented to bo.
