Removal of the Scandinavian Labora-

and Swedish Brandies, &C., &c.

Removal OF tDe SCANDINAVIAN bdOoIa-
tory and Business House ---Catawba
and Swedish Brandies, &C., &c. ..
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 of preparation for the reception OF
the business carried on so successfully for
some years past,in our city, by DR.. G. W.
Roback, proprietor of the celebrated Scan
dinayisn Remedies, the Blood Purifier
and Pills. and the well known Stomach
Bltters, which bear his name. The con.
stanty increasing popularity Of !hese
medicines has required third extension
of the limits heretofore occupied in their
manufacture.
The new premises, one hundred feet
front, and extending one hundred and
thirty feet in the rear. have, Internally,
been completely remOdcled. the spacious
apartments now being connected by arch.
ways cut through heretofore solid walls,
and everything else having been done,
which can facilitate the purposes 10 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. en-
tered largely into the manufacture of gen
uine Catawba Brandy, at article already
enjoying most favorable reputation, and
being widely used for medical purposes
A large amount Of this has been intro
duced; most beneficially, into the army
hospitals, heavy orders having been filed
for the use Of those Institutions in Wash |
ington city.
Another extensive branch Of this insli :
luton is the manufacture Of celebrated
Swedish Brandy. 1t is stimulating, aro'
n.atic and slightly medicinal, being an ex
cclIent remedy for dyspepsia. Ii is a
pleasant beverage. Ladies can even par.
take of ordinary quantities without feeling
undue intoxicating effects, so mild is it in
its composition. 1t is a great lavorite in
Sweden, --in fact, so much so that it may
be styled the national beverage. Itis pre-.
pared in the purest quality by Dr. Roback.
short visit to the new premises OF DR..
r., on Saturday last, proved most inter
esting, and we think it worthy n passing
notice. Entering from The neatly arranged
counting room, we go first to the rear of
the premises, and find ourselves in large
area, where the presence OF spacious fur
naces and capaclous copper stills notify us
that We are In the region appropriated TO
che purposes Of distillation. From this
we enter a spacious apartment lined with
Immense receivers, each containing hun
dreds Of gallons devoted to the more es-
pecial purposes Of the labo,atory,as need.
ful in the preparation Of the scandinavian
remedies.
Entering another apartment, we come
upon long tiers OF barrels, slowed in every
direction, and filled with the pum;ce and
lees OF last years growth, to be used in
the manufacture Of the Catawba Brandy.
Another still is devoted 10 the storage of
immense quantities OF glass. ware, roots,
and other requisites needful 10 the proper
preparation aud putting up of the med. |
eines.
One story higher up, and we come up
on the workshop, or the apartments ap.
propriated 20 the making OF pills by ma.
chinerY, and the boxing and labelling the
same by hand, the bottling of the biiters,
and the other arrangements necessary 10
fit them for market. Here are employed
quito number OF men and boys, whose
duties are confred TO this department
alone. Other departments are occupied
for packing and making ready for ship
ment the articles produced in the cstab.
llshmeut. Taking this establishment all
in all, with its Offices. warerootns, labor.
atories, workshops, &c., it is without
doubt the most extensive III its depart.
ment to be found IN the West.
We cannot but congratulate DR.. II. up.
on his increasing business, as evinccd by
ibis enlargement; Of his premises. He will
now be fully able, we think, 10 meet all
demands for bis medicines. and give them
even more extended circulation than
they have hitherto enjoyed, which already
comprises an introduction into almost ev.
cry State of the North as well as in
the most important cities Of the East
