Schiedam SehnapTs with the object of ascertainins
if contained any substance noziaus to health,
and TO inform them as to its true composition and
relative quality with theother gins that are offered
in the market, and the results of my observations
and experiments are as follows .-

a spirituous liquid, ofa ye-y agreeable aromatic
odor, completely transparent and almost colorIess.

with appa-at consisting of a class retort and s
recipient surrounded with ice, have collected in
this recipient an alcoholic liquid with very
agreeable aroma completely colorless and transpar-

From the remainder Of the distillaton which
lett in the ratort, have obtained through
evaporation in vapor bath, substance of a
yellowish brown color clear, and having a bitter
taste which is not disagreeable, and which after
wards becomes aromatic and leaves the mouth per-
fumed with that fragrance peculiar to the vanilla.
am inclined 70 believe that TO this bitter and a.
romatic extractve substance. soluble in winter ana
alcohol, the medicinal properties which are a''n
buted to this gin are due. have MOI io"nu III

aromatic sohiedam schnapps consists simply Of an
aromatic alcohol of 20 degrees of graduation in
Carriers alcoholic weigher, and of an extractive
bitter aromatic substance, which perhaps, is me-
iicinal; and, account of its not containing any
matter injurious to the health, as we'll as for its
odor and good favor-a fact which no doubt arises
from the choice substances employed in its manu-
facture, and from the peculiar manner of its dis
tillation, it should in my opinion, be preferred to
all the Holland, Belgic and German gins which
are found in this Island which it has been my bust
ness to examine. These gins as have often prove
t, exhale a disagreeable odor, and have more or
less disagreeable flavor, some of them having lef,
as was the case with the superior gin from the dis
tillery of Mr. Henry Deetjen (of Bremen) as resid
um after evaporation by steam, a substance almost
insipid and very trifingly aromatic with favor of
vanilla, but Ia no wise with the delicious bitter

of harsh metallic taste and very disagreeable which

copper with Signs OF iron, owing perhaps, to bad
