terers. These tanks contained about 2,600
gallons of the Blood Purifier, all in an active
state of preparation. Here we saw any num-
Der of implements, of the names of which we
are ignorant, but all, we presume, used in the
manufacture of the remedies. This depart
ment is under the exclusive control of the
Doctor himself, who gives his personal atten-
ton to the medicines in the different stages of
their manufacture.
Another apartment we found used as a dry
ing room, where ranged upon shelves, we saw
what We would have supposed to be a sufficient
quantity of pills to physic all creation. 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 indicating
a great increase on those of last year.
The third and fourth stories we found ap-
propriated to packing, and containing vast
quantities of strange looking roots and herbs,
in their crude condition, and in a concentrated
s,s.ete, With machinery used for various purposes

From a con, -~ersation with the gentleman who

The Doctor is certainly a tt. 9~rougn-going
business, as well as a scientific man, no hes
determined that his remedies shall be, NJ only
extensively circulated, but widely known, ma
to this end he extends his advertising infu-
ence to over 40 newspapers. He allows no
means to be left untried, by which the World
may know of the remedies he offers, and
throughout the entire country his Almanacs
can be found, sent gratuitously through his
agents, to all who may desire them. The
number of these Almanacs sent out during the
past year was about 100000, all of which are
gotten up neatly and filled with useful and in
5eresting information, either compiled or COM
posed by DIR. RoBACK, VIII among his other
duties, still has time for scientific
in that quarter.
We do not entirely share in the popular de-
usion that all proprietary remedies are "Quack :
Medicines" for we can see no reason why med
the composition and effects of which G
AVE constituted the life study of those who l
lave given their undivided attention to them, J
hould be so termed. Such remedies must be 8
ried and Judged according to their merits.-
Ne have ourselves tried the Dr's. remedies for
certain hereditary disease, and the happy eff
eet that they had in our case, is the cause of
his notice. The Doctor is a man of great at
aInments, mas travelled, not only extensively,
rut to some purpose, paying literally for any
nformation he might desire in regard to every
.uality of the ingredients used in the Scandi-
avian Remedies, in regard to the beneficial
roperties of which he is quite an enthusiast.
In regard to his establishment, as we said
it is systematized thoroughly in every
apartment, and whenever the Doctors per
onal attention is not needed, it is superinten-
ed by able assistants, presided over by Mr.. j.
I. JosLYN, who although quite a young gen
leman, still possesses every quality of :
borough business man. All appear to feel an
interest in common with its proprietor, in per-
orming their duties with the greatest ability.
Those who have never penetrated the mys-
cries of a Medical Laboratory, would 90 well
D pay this extensive establishment a visit
