For some weeks past, the large stone
front buildings on Third street, east of
Sycamore, lately occupied in part by the
Adams Express Company, have been in
course ofpreparation for the reception of
the business carried on so successfully for
some years past in our city, by Dr. e. W.
Roback, proprietor Of the celebrated Sean
dinavian Remedies, the Blood Purifier and
Pills, and the well known Stomach Bitters,
which bear his name. The constantly in
ereasing popularity of these medicines,
has required a third extension Of the linn
its heretofore occupied in their manufac-
ture,
The new premises, one hundred feet
front, and extending one hundred and thir-
ty feet in the rear, have, internally, been
completely remodeled, the spacious apart
ments now being connected by archways
cut through heretofore solid walls, and
everything else having been done, which
can facilitate the purposes to which they
are devoted.
In connection with the extensive busi-
ness in which DR.. R. had previously been
engaged, he has, for some time past. enter
ed largely into the manufacture of genu-
inc Catawba Brandy. an article already en-
joying most favorable reputation, and be-
ing widely used for medicinal purposes
A large atnoant of this has been introduced,
most bene6cialty, into the army hospitals,
heavy orders having been filled for the
use Of those institutions in Washington
city.
Another extensive branch of this insti-
tuition is the manufacture ofthe celebrated
swedish Brandy. It's stimulating, aro-
matte and slightly medicinal, being an ex-
cellent remedy for dyspepsia. 1t is plea
SAINT beverage. Ladies can even partake
of ordinary quantities without feeling un-
due Intoxicating effects, so mild is it in its
composition. 1t is great favorite in
Sweden-in fact, so much so that it may
be styled she national beverage 1t is
prepared in the purest quality by DR..
Koback.
A short visit to the new premises of
Dr. r., on Saturday, last, proved most in
notice. Entering from the neatly arranged
counting room, We go first to the rear OF
the premises, and find ourselves in a large
area, where the presence of spacious fur
naces and capacious copper stills, notify us
that we are in the region appropriated to
the purposes of distlllation. From this
we enter a specious apartment lined with
immense receivers, each containing hun
dreds OF gallons, devoted to the more es-
pecial purposes ofthe laboratory as needful
in the preparation Of the Scandinavian
remedies.
Entering another apartment, We come
npon long tiers of barrels, slowed in every
direction, and filed with the pumice and
lees OF last year growth, to be used in the
manufacture of the Catawb ba Brandy. An
other still is devoted to the storage OF
immense quantities of glassware, roots,
and other requisites needlul to the proper
preparation and putting up of the medi-
cines.
One story higher up, and we GENE upon
the workshop, or the apal tments appro-
priated to the making OF pills by machin-
cry, and the boxing and labelling of the
same by hand, the bottling of the bitters,
and the other arrangements necessary to
fit them for market Here are employed
quite a number of men and boys, whose
duties are confined to this department. al
one. Other departments are occupied
for packing and making ready for shsp-
ment the articles produced in the establish
ment.
Taking this establishment all in all, with
its Offices, wareroems, laboratories, work
shops, &C., it is without doubt the most
extensive in its departemeut to be found
in the West.
We cannot.but congratulate Dr.. r. upon
his increasing business as evineed by this
enlargement of his premises. He will
now be fully able, We think, to meet all
demands for his medicines, and give, them
even more extended circulation thar they
have heretofore enjoed, which already
comprises an introduction into almost every
State Of the North west, as well as in the
most important cities of the East. a7 :
