An Extensive Medical Establishment.


TnE SCANDiNAvAS REMEDIES "A fow
days scincc, We paid visit to the extensive
medical laboratory OF DR.. RoBAcK, the we'll
known founder of tho Scandinavian System
of Practice. in this Country. Few of our
citizens are aware Of tho extent OF the snles
of theso remedies throughout the South and
West, for the diseases incidental TO which
sections. they appear to act almos; ms
Sovereign specific For tho benefit of our
readers we will furnish description Of the
premises.
The building appropriated to tho propar.
alton Of tho Scandaviun Ron oles, is very
large and c"nmodious tenement, lifted
throughout with view to the speedy dis
patch Of business, which is so systematizcd,
tina; its entire operations move like clock
work Entering upon the first floor, tho
attention is attracted to n large number OF
Young persons seated ut regular intervafe,
! tho entire length OF tho apartment, and all
! busily engaged in counting, boxing, wrap
/ ping, and labelling the Blood Pills. We
! found hcro most ingenious contrivanco for
! boxing tho pills. it boing go arranged thAt
/ by simple movement, sOno forty or NIFTY
boxes arc filled at tho same time, all con-
tanning precisely tho same number OF little
round health restoratires. These boxes
thon move from hand to hand among tho
operatives, each Of whom adds to its COM
pleteness. until it reaches the last, wheu
they are neatly put up in bundles OF grosa
each, and ready tor the market.
Passing into the basement Of the building,
a largo and well ventilated apartment, We
found ourselves surrounded by n largo NUM-
Dor of tanks, fitted up in an improved man.
nor as fltorors. These tanks contained
about 9. coo gallons of tho Blood Purifier,
all in an active state of preparation. Hero
wo saw any number of implements, OF the
, names of which we arc ignorant, but all, ye
presume, used in tho manufacture of tho
remedies. This department is under the
exclusive control of tho Doctor himself,
who gives his personal attention to the
. medicines in tho different stages o. their
manufacture.
Another. apartment wo found used al q
drying room, whore ranged upon sholVes.
o we saw what we should havo supposed ~
g be u sufficient quantity of pills to physic oil

e eai nod that this was less than = month .
, supply, even at tho rate of last years salcs,
tho present demand indicating great in.
! crease on those of last year.
= The third and fourth stories VIC found ap.
propriatcd to packing, and containing vast
o quantities Of strange locking roots and herbs,

IS centrated state. with machinery used for
e various purposes in properly and expcdi-
5. tousIy carrying on the work Of the labora'
p tory.
;, From the conversation with tho gentle.
u , man who politely showed US through the
u premises, we learned that not less than
* 5000 agents are engaged in disposing of the
ID Scaudnavian Remedies in different por-
h tons of the Union.
,e Tho Doctor is certainly a thorough. going
" business. AS well as scientific man, and he
=. is determined that his remedies shall DO. moi
