AN EXTENSIVE MEDICAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
SCANDINAVIAN REMEDIEs.-A few days since,
we paid a visit to the extensive medical labo-
ratory Of DR.. RoBAoK, the well known founder
ofthe scandinavian System of Practice, in this
Country. Few of oar citizens are aware of the
extent ofthez sales of these remedies throughout
the South and West, for the diseases incidental
to which sections, they appear to act almost as
a Sovereign specific. For the benefit of our
readers we will furnish a description of the
premises. .-H--r s- d
The building appropriated to the preparation.
of the scandinavian Remedies, is, a very large
and commodious tenement, fitted throughout
with a view to the speedy dispatch of bu sinsss,
which is SO systemized; that it's entire opera
tiOns move like clock-work Entering upoH
the first feor, the attention is attracted to a
large number of young persons seated at regu-
lar lntervals, the entire length of the apartment,
and all busily engaged in counting. boxing,
wrapping and labelling the Blood Pills. We
found here a most ingenious continuance for
boxing the pills, it being so arranged hat by a
movement. some forty or fifty boxes are
filled at the same time, all containing precisely
the same number of little round health rostora-
tives. These boxes then move from hand to
hand among the o operatives, each Of whom adds
to it's completeness, until it reaches the last,
when they ara neatly put up in bundles of a
gross each, and ready for the market.
Passing into the basement of the binding, q
large and well ventilated apartment, we found
ourselves surrounded by a large number of
tanks, fitted up in an improved manner as fl
terers. These tanks contained about $500 gal
IONS OF do Oh IuT1uef, all IN an active state OF
preparation. Here we saw any number of i'm
plenlcnts, of the names of which we are igno-
rant. but all, We presume, used in the manu-
facturc of the remedies. This department is
under the exclusive control of the Doctor him.

1notner apartment we found used as a drv-Ii
ing rooms where arran ged upon shelves, we
saw what we would have supposed to be a suffi-
eient quantity of pills to physic all ereation.-
To our surprise. however, we learned that this
was less than a months supply, even at the
rate OF last years sales, the present demand in
dicating Il greht increase on those of last year.
The third and fourth stories we found appro-
prIated 20 packing, and containing vast quaa-
titles of strange looking roots and herbs, in
their crude condition, and in a Concentrated
state, with machinery used for various purposes
IN properly and eXPcditiously carrying on the
work OF the laboratory.
From a conversation with the gentleman who
politely showed us through the premises, we
learned that not less than $500 agents are en-
gagged in disposing of the Scandinavian Rene
diesi in different portions of the Union.
The Doctor is certainly a thorough-going
business, IS well as a scientific man, anil he is
determined that his remedies shall be, not only
e extensively circulated, but widely known, and
to this end he extends his advertising inhueace
to over 40 newspapers. He allows no means
