Do hereby certify, that Mt the request of the
house of Gottig & Will, of this place, have made
an analitical examination Of u. Wolfc's Aromatic
Schiedam Schuapps, with the object of asoertainng
If IL contained any substance noxious to health
and to inform them to it. true composition and
relative quality with tho other gins that are offered
in the ket, and the results Of lay observations
and experiments are as follows -
Udolpho Wolfe's aromatic Schicdam schnapps is
spirituous liquid, of a very agreeable aromatic
olor, completely transparent and almost colorcss
having only very slight tint of yellowish gray;
its favor is strong and very agreeable to the palate
II marks 20 degrees in Carte. ..t,hol wcigher
or 50 degrees hundredths in Gay Lussac's alec.
hometre. BY the distillation in a balaium maria
with an appa atus consisting Of a class and
recipient surrounded with ice, have collected in
this recipient alcoholic liquid with very
emit which marked 80 degrees in Cartier's alcoholic
weigher, or 10 degrees hundredth Gay Luss-
ac's alcometre and which repr,s' nted as IL whole
81 per cent of aromatic Schiedam schnapp, sub.
ject to dstilation in tho rctort. This liquid did
not soil the Transparency Of the distilled water in
mixing it with the same, and its agreeable aroma
is doubtless due to very trifng amount of an es-
sential Ill inscparabe from alcohol
From tho remainder OF tho distllation which
was lott in the retort, have obtained, through
evaporation in a vapor bath, a substance Of a
yelowish brown color, clear, and having a bitter
taste which is not disagreeable. and which after
wards becomes aromatic and leaves the mouth per.
fumei with that fragrance peculiar to tho vanilla.
am inclined to believe that to this bitter and a.
romatic extractivc substance, soluble in water and
alcohol the medicinal properties which are attri.

from the choice substances employed in its manu-
iacturc, aud from the peculiar manner Of its dis.
tlation, it should, in my opinion, be preferred to
all the Holland, Belgic and German gins which
are found in this Island which it has been my bust
ness to examine. These gins as have often proved

less disaarreabIe flavor, some Of them having left
