An Extensive Medical Establish

putch of business, which is so systematized
that its entire operations move like clock
work. Entering upon the first hJor, the
attention is attracted to large number OF
young persons seated at regular intervals,
the entire length of The apartment, and all
busiiy engaged in Counting. boxing, wrap
ping and labelling the Blood Pills. We
found here most ingenious contrivance for
boxing the pills, it beng So arranged that
by simple movement, some forty or Fifty
boxes are filled at the same time. all con-
tanning precisely the same number Of little
round health restoratises. These boxes
then move from hand 10 hand among the up-
eratives, each of " hom adds to it, com-
pietnpss, until it reaches the last, when they
ave neatly put up in bundles of a gross each,
and ready for the market.
Passing into the basement of the build
ing, large and well ventilated apartment
we found ourselves surrounded by large
number of tanks, fitted up in an improved
manner as fiiIerers. These tanks contain
ed about $500 gallons Of the Blood Purifier
all in an active state of preparation. Here
We saw any number of implements, of the
names OF which we are ignorant, but all,
we presume, used in the manufacture Of the
remedies. This department is under the
exclusive control of The Doctor himself
who gives his personal attention to tho
medicines in the different stages of then
manufacture.
Another apartment we found USED as a
drying room, where, tanged upon shelves,
we saw what we would have supposed 10 be
a sufficient quantity of pills TO physic al
creation. To Our surprise, however, we
learned that this was less than a months
supply, even at the rate of last years sal
the present demand Indicating 4 great in
crease on those Of last year.
The third and fourth stories ve found ap.
propriated to packing, and containing vast
qualities of strange looking roots and herbs
in their crude condition, and in concen.
tratcd stare. with machinery used for various
purposes in properly and expeditirus!y Garry.
ing on the work Of the laboratory.
From conversation with the gentleman
who politely showed Us through the premises
we learned that not less than $500 agent,
are engaged in disposing of the Scandina.
Wan Remedies in different portions of the
Union
The Doc,oris certainly thorough-going
business, as well as scientific man, anC
he is determined that his remedies shall be
not only extensively circulated, tut widely
known, and to this end he extends his ad
vertising influence TO over 40 newspapers
He allows no means to be LETT untred, by
which the World may know Of the RENE
dies he offers, and throughout the entire
country his Almanacs can be found, sent
gratuitcusly through his agents, to all who
NAV desire them. The number of these
Almanacs sent out during the past year was
about 100000, all of which are gotten sup
neatly and filled with useful and interesting
information, either compiled or composed
by DR.. Roback, who among his other mani
fold duties, still has time for scietific re-
searches in that quarter.
We do not entirely share in the popular
delusion that all proprietory remedies are
"Quack Medicines" for we can see no ress-
on why medicines, :he composition and eff
iects of which have constituted the lie
study of those who have given their und
vded attt ntion to them, should be SO termed
Such remedies must be tried and Judged ac-
cordiBg to their merits We have ourselves
tried the Dr's. remedies for certain here

had in our case, is the cause of this notice

personal attention is not needed. it is super
