Do hereby certify, that at the request of the
house Of Gottig & VIII, Of this place, I have made
an analitical examination Of L. Wolfs's Aromatic
Schiedam Sohnapps, with the object Of ascertanng
if it contained any substance noxious to health,
and TO inform them as to its true composition and
relative quality with the ,her gins that are offered
in the mar xet, and the resulis of my observation.
and experiments are as follows -
Udolpho Wolle's aromatic Scbielam schnapps Is

odor, completely transparent AID almost coloress,
having only very Slight that Of yellowish gray;
its flavor strong and very agreeable to the palate

ject to distiation in the retort. This liquid did
not soil the transparency Of the distilled water in
mixing it with the same, and it, agreeable aroma
is doubtless due to very trifng amount OF an es-
sential ii inseFarabe from alcohol.
From the remainder OF the distllation which
was Lett in the retort, have obtained, through
evaporation in vapor bath, substance of
yellowish brown color, clear, and having a bitter
taste which is not disagreeable, and which after
wards becomes aromatic and leaves the mouth per

am inclined 20 believe that this bitter and a

alcohol, the medicinal properties which are stt1i
