DO hereby certify, that the request of the House Of
Gottg WILL Of this place, have made analytical
examination Of o. Wolies Aromatic Schiedam Schna
with the object Of asceraining it contained any sub
stance noxious to health and inform them its
composition and relative quality with the other gins
that offered in the market and tine results of my OBJ
seryatons and experiments follows:
Udolpho Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps Is q
spirituous liquid Of very agreeable aromatic odor,
completely transparent and almost colorless having only
very slight tint Of yeowish gray its favor is strong
and very agreeable the palate 1t marks 20 degrees in
Carriers alcohol weigher so degrees hundredth in
Gay Lussacs acohometre. By the distllaton in ba-
laum maria, with an apparatus consisting Of glass
tort and recipient surrounded with ice, have collected
in this recipient alcoholic liquid with very agreeable
aroma completely coorless aud transparent, which
marked 90 degrees in Carriers Alcoholic weigher
70 degrees hundredh on Gay Lussac's acohome,re
and which represented whole 81 per Of Aromat
ie Schiedam Schnapps subject to distllaton in the

distilled in mixing it with the and its agree
able is doubtless due to very rhing amount Of
essential oil inseparable from alcohol
From the remainder Of the distation which left in
the retort have obtained, through evaporation in
por bath substance Of yelowish brown color, clear,
and having bitter taste which is not dsagreeabe, and
which afterwards becomes aromatic and leaves the mouth
pcrfumcd with that fragrance peculiar to the vanilla.
am inclined believe that to this bitter and aromatic
extracye substance soluble in water and alcohol, tho
medicinal properties which attributed this gin
due have not found in Udolpho Wolfe's Aromatic
schedam Schnapps any mineral organic substance
other than the exraeye already named and the
matte obtained by distillaton. Finally Udolpho
Woes Aromatic Schedam schnapps consists simply Of
an aromatic alcohol Of 20 degrees of graduation in Car
tiers alcoholic wegher, and Of exuactiye bitter
matte substance, which, perhaps is medicinal; and on
account Of its not containing any matter injurious to the
health, well for its odor and good aayora fact
which doubt arises from the choice substances em-
ployed in its manufacture and from the peculiar
Of its distllatou it should in my opinion be preferred
to all the Holland, Begic and German gins which
found in this Island which it has been my business
anime. These gins as have often proved ii, exhale
disagreeable odoY and have less dsagreeahle
flavor some Of them having left was the case with
the superior gin from the distillery of Mr. Hem
~ Deeen (of Bremen residum after evaporation by
steam, substance almost uspid and very trifing
matte with favor Of vanilla, but in wise with the de-
lcious bitter and aromatic favor OF that of Udopho
