THE SCANDINAVIAN REMEDIES.
A few DAYS since we paid a visit to the exten-
sive medical laboratory of DIR. RobsCk, the well
known founder OF the Scandinavian System OF
Practice in this country. Few of our citizens
are aware ofthe extent Of the sales of these re-
medies throughout the South and West for the
diseases incidental TO which sections, they ap-
pear to act as a sovereign specific For the ben
eft ofour readers we will furnish description
of the premises
The building appropriated to the preparation
OF the Scandinavian Remedies, is very large
and commodious tenement, fitted throughout
with view 10 the speedy dispatch of business,
which IS SO svstemsGzed, that itSaenure opera
tons move like clock work. Entering upon
the first floor the attention is directed to a
large number of young persons seated atregular
intervals the entire length Of the apartment
and all buSily engaged in counting, boxing
wrapping and labelling the Blood Pills We
found here most ingenious contrivance for box
ing the pills, it being so arranged that by sim
Pile movement, some forty or fifty boxes are fill
ed at the same time all containing precisely
the same number of little round health restora
tives These boxes then move from hand to
hand among the operatives, each of whom adds
to its compile teneSs until it. reaches the last,
when they are neatly put up in bundles5 oil a
gross each, and ready for the market.
Passing into the basement OF the building, a
large and well ventilated apartment, we found
ourselves surrounded by large number OF
tanks, fitted up in an improved manner as filter
ers. These tanks contained about $500 gal
Ions 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 ig-
nOrant, but all, we presume, used in the manu-
facture of the remedies. This department is
under the exclusive control Of the Doctor him
self who gives his personal attention to the
medicines in the different stages oftheir manu-
facture. r-.s gsre---r--.-
Another apartment we found used as dry
ing room, where, ranged upon shelves, we saw
what we would have supposed to be stfiGicnt
quantity OF pills to physic all creation. TO our
surprise, however, we learned that this was less
than months supply even at the rate of last
years sales, the present demand indicating a
CRATE increase on those of last year.
The third and fourth stories we found appro-
priated to packing, and containing vast guam
titles of Strengthening roots and herbs, in their
crude condition, and in concentrated state
with machinery used for various purposes r
properly and expeditiously carrying 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 agents are en-
gagged in diopoSing Of the scandinavian Rene
dies in different portions the Union,
The Doctor is through going business as
well as a scientific man, and he is determined
that his remedies shall be not only extensively
circulated, but widely known. and to this END
he extends his advertising influence to over 47C
newspapers. He allows no means to be lef
untried by wi ich the world may know Of thu
remedies he offers, and throughout the entire
country his Almanacs can be found, sent graf
nitousIy through his agents, who may desire
them. The number o these amanacs sent ou
during the past year was about 100000 all o
which are gotten up neatly and fiIlrd with use
ful and interesting information, either compiled
or composed by Or. Roback, who among hi
his other manif Id duties still has time fo
scientific re earches in that quarter
We do not entirely share in the popular delu
sion that all proprietary remedies are "Quacl
Medicines" for we can see no reason why medi
cnes, the composition and effects Of which hav
constituted the lie study Of those who hav
given their undivided attention to them, should
he 50 termed, Such remedies must be tret
and Judged according to their merits. Tht
