CHENICAL TESTIMONY.
u. JOSH LUIS CAsAsEcA, Corresponding Member Of the
Royal Academies OF Madrid and MUNICH Graduate in
Sciences of the Faculty of Paris, formerly Professor of
Chemistry, applied to the Arts of the ROYAL Con-
servatoro Of Madrid, and Of Physic and Chemistry as
applied to the Industry and Agriculture of the Country,
IN the Royal University of this Island present H.
MS director ofthe Institute Of Chemical Investigation,
&C., &C.
Do hereby certify that the request of the house OF Cot
tig Wli, oil this place, l have made analitical
examination of U. Wofe's Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps,
with the object of ascertaning If it contained any sub
stance noxious to health, and to inform them its
true composition and relative quality with the other gins
tnat are offered IN tie market, and the results Of
observations and experiments follows:-
odoipho Wolfe's aromatic Schiedam Schnapps is a
spirituous liquid, OF very agreeable aromatic odor,
completely transparent and almost cooress having only
very slight tint of yellowsh gray its favor is strong
and very agreeable to the palate 1t marks 20 degrees in
0artier's alcohol weigher So degrees hundredth in
1ay hussacs alchomere By the dstillaton in balai-
UNI mara with an apparatus cQcs ing OF glass retort
and a recipient surrounded witt ice Il have collected In
this recipient in alec hoc liquid with very agreeable
aroma completely cooress and which repIe
sened as whole 81 per cent of aromatic Schidam Sch
maps subject to dstillaton in the retot. This liquid
did not soil the transparency of the distilled water in
mixing 1t with the same, and its agreeable aroma is
aoupesS que 70 very thrilling amount on an essential Oil
inseparable from alcohol
From the remainder of the distation which left in
the retort, have obtained, through evaporation in
yapor BATH substance of yeowish brown color clear
and having bitter which is not dsaureeabe and
which afterwards becomes aromatic the mouth
perfumed with that fragrance peculiar the vanilla
|
extracve substance soluble in and alcohol, the
medicinal properties which attributed to this gin
due. have not found in Udolpho Wolfe's aromatic
Schiedam schnapps any mineral organic substance
other than the extracve already named and the
matte one obtained by dstilation. Finally, Udolpho
Woles aromatic Schedam schnapps consists simply Of
an aromatic alcohol OF 20 degrees Of graduation in arti
ers alcoholic wegher and Of exractive bitter aromatic
substance, which perhaps, medicinal and account
OF its not containing any matter injurious to the health
as well as for its odor and good avora fact which
doubt arises from the choice substances employed in its
manufacture, and from the peculiar manner of its disa-
ion Should in my opinion, be preferred to all the Hol
land, Belgic and German gins which found in this
Island which has been my business to examine. These
gins as have often proved it, exhae disagreebe odor
and have more or less disagreeable favor, Of them
having left as was the with the superior gin from the
dstillery of Mr.. Henry Deeen (of Bremen), resdum
after evaporation by steam, substance almost incipid
andVery triDingly aromatic, with favor of VANILLA but
in no wise with the del cious bitter and aromatic favor Of
that of Udopho Wolfe and others, such that labelled
"Genune Samaritan, extra superior'i Messrs Trach
er have furnished me very small quantity greensh
substance ofharsh metallic taste and very dsagreeabe
which extractiye organic matter mixed with salt
of COPPER, with signs of iron, owing perhaps, to bad
system of distlation
certify that all that is here stated Is the truth and
agrees with the experiments have made with the gea
care, and authorize the house of Gotg Will of thi;
city, to give pebcity to this certificate, in Spanish and
in foreign languages in all countries where it may sui
suit the r interest to do so.
