Removal Of the scandinavian Laborn-
tory and Business HOuse-C ataW ba
and Swedish Brandies, &c., sc.
For some weeks past, the large stone
front buildings on Third street, east Of Syca-
more, lately occupied in part by the Adams
Express Company, have been in course Of
preparation for the reception of tho business
carried on so successfully for some years
past in our city, by DR.. g. w. Roback, pro
prietor of the celebrated Scandinavian Rem.
edies, the Blood Purifier and Pills, and tn,
wellknown Stomach Bitters, which bear his
name. The constantly incre" sing popul,r.
ity of these medicines, has required third
extension of the limits hereto .ore 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
remodeled, the spacious apartments now be.
ing connected by archways cut through. here.
toiore solid walls and everything else hav'
ing been done, which can facilitate the pur.
poses to which they are devoted.
| In connection with the extensive business
in which DR.. r. had previously been engag.
ed, he has, for some time past, entered large
ly into the manufacture OF genuine Catawba
Brandy, an article already enjoying favor.
able reputation, and being widely used fol
medicinal purposes. a large amount Of this
has been introduced, most bencfcally, into
the army hospitals, heavy orders having been
filled for the use of those institutions in
Washington city.
| Another extensive branch of this institu
ton is the manufacture of the celebrated
Swedish Brandy. 1t is stimulating, arc
matte and slightly medicinal, being an ex
celient remedy for dyspepsia. 1t is plea
SAINT beverage. Ladies can even partakc o.
ordinary quantities without feeling undue
Intoxicating effects, so mild is it in it's com.
posi- ion. 1t is great favoritc in Swcedea-
IN fact, so much so that it may DC styled the
national beverage. 1t is prepared in the
purest quality by DR.. Roback.
| A short visit to the new premises Of DR.
r., on Saturday last, proved most interest
ing, and we think is worthy passing no,
tice. Entering from the neatly arranged
counting room, we go first to the rear Of
the premises, and find GU SEW S in a large
area. where the presence Of spacious furna.

that we are in the region appropriated tc

preparation of the Scan iinavian remedies.
Entering another apartment, we come
upon long tiers of larrcls, stowel in every

Taking this establishment all in all with
its offices, warerooms, laboratories, work
shops, &C., it is without doubt the most OK.
tensive in its department to be found in the
West.
We cannot but congratulate DR.. r. upon
his increasing business as evinccd 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 they have hereto
fore enjoyed, which already comprises ar
introduction into almost every State of tht
North west, as well as in the most impoit.n
