Do hereby certify that at the request of the House Of
Gottig & will Of this place, have made analytical
examination of u Wolfes Aromatic Sehiedam schnapps,
with the object Of asceraining II contained any sub
stance noxous to health and to inform them to its
true composition and relative quality with the other gins
that are offered in the market and the results Of my OBJ
servations and experiments as follows
Udolpho Wolfe's Aromatic Sehiedam Schnapps is
spirituous liquid of very agreeable aromatic odor,
completely transparent and almost coorless having only
very slight tint Of yeowish gray; its favor is strong
and very agreeable the palate It marks 20 degrees in
Carriers alcohol weigher or so degrees hundredth in
GAY Lussac's alcohometre By the distation IN ba-
laum MARIA with apparatus consisting OF glass re-
tort and recipient surrounded with ice have collected
in this recipient alcoholic liquid with very agreeable
aroma completely colorless and transparent, which
marked 90 degrees in Carriers Alcoholic weigher.

and which represented whole 81 per cent of Aromat

tort This liquid did not soil the transparency Of the
distilled water in mixing with the and its agree
able aroma is doubtless due TO very trhing amount OF
an essential oil inseparable from alcohol.
From the remainder Of the dislaton which was left in
the retort have obtained through evaporation in
nor bath substance Of yeowish brown COLOR clear
and having bitter which is not disagreeabe, and
which afterwards becomes aromatic and leaves the mouth

sehiedam Schnapps any mineral organic substance
other than the extracye already named and the
matte one obtained by distllation. Finally, Udopho
wofes Aromatic schiedam sohnapps consists simply Of
an aromatic alcohol Of 20 degrees Of graduation in Car
tiers alcoholic weghor, and Of an extractve bitter arc
matte substance which, perhaps, is medicnal and on
account Of its containing any matter injurious to the
health as well as for its odor and good havor-a fact
which no doubt arises from the choice substances EN-
ployed in its manufacture and from the peculiar manner
OF its disaon, it should in my opinion, be preferred
