TO TUB CITIZKNS OF PENNSYLVANIA.
SCIIIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS. r
I beg leave to oall the attention of tha citi
zens ol Pennsylvania to tho above article,
manufactured by myself exclusively, at my
Factory In Schiedam, In Holland, expressly
for medicinal purposes.
It is mado from the host Barley that can be
selected in Ettropo and the essence of an ar
omatic ltaliau.borry, of acknowledged and
extraordinary medicinal nronerties; and it
hae long since acquired a higher reputation,
ooth in Europe and America, than any other
fftelio bavetage.
lu Gravel, Gout, and Rheumatism; in Ob
structions of the Bladder mid Kidneys, and
Debility of the Urinary Functions, its. ef
fects afe prompt, deckled, and invariably re
liable. And it is not only a Remedy for these
maladies, but, in all cases in which they are
produced by Drinking Bad Wn'er, which is,
almost universally, the causo of them, it op
erates as a Sure Preventive.
The distressing effect upon tho Stomach,
Bowels, and Bladder, to travelers, new resi
dents, and all persons unaccustomed to them
produced by the waters of nearly all our great
inland rivers like the Ohio, Mississippi, and
Alabama, from tho largo quantity of decay
ed regntable matter contained in them, in a
elate of solution, is well known ; as is also
that of tho waters of limestone) regions, in
Droducing Gravel, Calculi, ami Stone in the
Bladder. Tho AROMATIC SCIIIEDAM
SCHNAPPS is an absolute corrective of all
theee injurious properties of bad water, and
consequently prevents tho disease which
they occasion. It is also found to be a cure
anil preventive of Fever and Ague, a com
plaint caused by the conjoin: effects ol vege
table malaria in the atmosphere, and vegeta
ble pulrescenses in the waters of thoso dis
tricts in which it principally prevails. The
Aromatio Schiedam Schnapps is consequent
ly in great demand by persons travelling, or
about to settle in those parts of the country
especially ; as welt as by many in every
community where it has become known on
account of its various blhor remedial proper
ties.
More ihan threo thousand physicians,
among whom are numbered tho greatest
names belonging to tho faculty of medicine
in this country, have certified, over iheirown
signatures, to the valuablo medicinal proper
ties of such an article, as tho severest tests
have proved the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps
to be, and have accepted it as a most desira
blajgddition to the materia medica.
Put up in quart snd pint bailies, enveloped
in yellow paper with my name on the bot
tle, cork and soal. For sale by all respecta
ble Druggists and Grocers.

lie to the following letters from physicians :
" latxnvtofy, N. Y., May 2, 1855.
" MA. Ul'DOipito WOI.FE — Dear Sir: I can
not spesk to highly of die purity ofyoui Schi
eJani Schnapps. Ii in decidedly snpoiior to
anything ol tho kind in market. It is per
feoliy free from the admixture ot liisil nil,
or of any of those arnylic compounds which
proatace such a mischievous and irreparable
effect upon the coiistiuilion, and which very
few samples of alcoholic distilled liquors aro
without—most ol thorn bojng largely impreg
nated with it. 1 havo personally inspected
the various piocess of distillation practiced
at Schiedam, and know (hat unusual caro is
taken to separate the noxious elements
from the pure alcohol, and your Schnapps is
e striking proof of its success, As a medici
nal agent for chronic and renal affections, 1
have successfully prescribed ii, ami recom
mend it as an agrOnabln cordial aud harm
lees stimulant, and shall continue to do so;
as well as to use it as a source of pure alco
hol for chemical investigations and experi
ments. Ynurs "bcdienl, ISAIAH DECK.
t'onsidtiirg Analytical Chemist.''
Dr. Charles A. Leas, Commissioner ol
Health, Baltimore., writes as fnilows in rela
tion to the value ol Schnapps as n remedy
in chronic catarrhal complaints, fce. The
letter is dated July 27, 1853:
" 1 take great pleasure in bearing highly
creditable lesiimony to its efficacy as a rem
edial agent in the di&easos for which you rec
ommend it. Having a natural tendency to
the inocous surfaces, with a slight degroe ol
stimulation, I regard it as ono of the most
important remedies in chronic catarrhal af
fections, particularly those of the genito uri
nary apparalus. With much repseel, your
obedient servant, CHARLES A. LEAS.
" PHILADELPHIA, July 15, 1853.
Mr. Udo'l'ho Wolfe , No, 2 cavcr Bt., N.
y. Dar Bir: Last season the writor received
through your agent in this citj, s bottlo of
your Aromatic Kchiodtin Schnapps, and since
that povind has prescribed the same in certain
forma of urinary complaints, also in caioa of
debility in aged persons. So far, (he Schnapj a
has been of much benefir to those using it
• * In conclusion, wlioro a diuretic and
stimulant ia lequircd, I should use the Aro
matic Schiedam Schnapps. hanking you for
vour kindness, 1 am respectfully yours,
A. D. CHALONER, M. D,
180 South Eighth at.
Tha subjoined letter from Dr Parse, of
Manchester, N. H., relates to one of tho most
valuablo medicinal properties possessed by the
Aromatic Schnapps, and shows that it acts as
* a specifi: in s very painful disease—the Grov
el;
"Mr. Notn Permit me to oddross you
few lines, which you are at liberty to use if
you think proper, in respoctto your medicine,
called Schiedam Schnapps. I have had a vory
obstinate COKO of gravel and stono, of some five
ysars standing, causing very acute pain in
eeiy attempt to urinate, After using many
remcdios without much relief, I was induced to
try a bottle of your medicine. In tho courao
of threes days it proved lU'uctual, dislodging
large pieces of stono, eomo of which were as
large as a marrowfat pot. I continued the cor
dial, according to directions, aud tho pationl
continued to gain, and is fast recovering, I
think a medicine of so much valuo in so dis
tressing a complaint, should be known to the
public, end the world at large. And I, for ono
must givo it my approbation and signature.

ol tho taxes duo llio Slain The reputation
i and honor of tho Stulo nro in a great ma
--' sure cnmiTiiliod lo yonr keeping, it is upon
the tax duo fn>rr\l)io anvoral counties, that 1
I icply mainly fur tlio means ot making pay
j iiuun. lam aware that llio lalo stringency
in lho monetary affairs of the country, lias
greatly crippled lho JVlnmifncluriug and Com
mercial interests of llio Slide, thai tho gener
al drought anil consequent I'uilnro of last
, year's crops litis deprived llio farmer of his
' usual ability to pay, and that owing to these
advene oircuiiistaiicos, it will require on
: your pari a more than usual cfibtt to collect
piomptly'. 1 know that lire highest incite
ment lo duly that can bo placed before the
people of this Commniiwcalln, is to assure
iheio that the honor of tho Commonwealth
demands such duty St thftir hands.
Which I would hold up this higher motive
lo ymt, ami through yon to tho people. I
would also remind you I hat by tho Act ol
j Assembly of the 28th day of April, 1811, il
I is provided that " any county paying into the
Siato Treasury its quota of lux levied on iis
■ adjusted valuation, filteou days prior to the
j first day of August, in any year, such county
shall bo entitled to an abatement of livo per
cent, upon the amount so paid." lam die- |
posed to'givo this law a fair and liberal con- <
struclion. Whero the whole amount has ,
not been paid, but an amount approaching
near to lho whole, the deduction of fivo per
cent, will bo ntudo. I wouid suggest the
propriety of allowing the abatement of five
percent, by lire tax collector immediately lo
the tax payer, believing that such a course
incite to a more prompt payment than when
the benefit is mado accrue to the County
Treasury.
You will confer a great favor upon me, by |
lotting me know at as early a date as it will I
be po.-siblo for you to do so, with any rea- |
sor.able degree of certainty, what amount of
money yon will be able to furnish, and at
what time, Yours respectfully.
