REMOVAL OF THE ScANDINA WAN LABOR
AroRY AND BUSINESS Housr-CArAwBA AND
SWEDISH BRNDTRs, &C., DC For some weeks
past, the large stone front buildings on Third
street. east ofSycamore, 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. @. w. Roback,
proprietor of the celebrated Scandinavian REM
edies, the Blood Purifier and Pills,and the we'll
known Stomach Bitters, which bear his name
The constantly increasing popularity of these
medicines, has required third extension OF
the limits heretofore occupedin their manufac-
ture.
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 being connected
by archways cut through heretofore solid walls,
and everything else having been done, which
can facilitate the purposes TO which they are de-
voted.
In connection with the extensive business in
which DR.. r. had previously been engaged he
has, for some time past, entered largely into the
manufacture of genuine Catawba Brandy, an ar
ticle already enjoying most favorable reputa-
ton, and being widely used for medicinal pur-
poses. A large amount Of this has been intro
duced, most benefcially, into the army hospit-
ais, heavy orders having been filed for the use
Of those institutions in Washington city.
Another extensive branch Of this institution
is the manufacture Of the celebrated Swedish
Brandy. 1t is stimulating, aromatic and slight
ly medicinal, beingan excellent remedy for dys-
pepsia. 1t is pleasant beverage Ladies can
even partake of ordinary quantities without feel
ing undue Intoxicating effects, so mild is il in
its composition. tits great favorite in Swed-
en-in fact, so much 30 that it may be styled the
national beverage. It is prepared in the purest
quality by DR.. Roback.
A short visit TO the new premises Of DR.. R.,
on Saturday last, proved most interesting, and
we think is worthy passing notice. Entering
from the neatly arranged counting room, we go
first to the rear of the premises, and find our
selves in large erea VIII ere the presence OF
spacious furnaces and capacious copper sills.
notify us that we are in the region appropriated
to the purposes Of distillat on. From this we
enter spacious apartment lined with immense
receiuers, each containing hundr eds Of gallons,
devoted to tie more especial purposes ofthe lab
oratory as ncedful in the preparation ofthe Scam
dinavian remedies.
Entering another apartment, we come upon
long tiers of barrels, slowed in every direction,
and filed with the pumice and lees Of last years
growth, to be used in the manufacture Of the
Catawba Brandy. Another still is devoted TO
the storage of immense quantities Of glassware,
ROOTS and other requisites needful to the proper
preparation and putting up of the medicines.
One story higher up, and we come upon the
Workshop or the apartments appropriated to the
making of pills by machinery, and the boxing
and labelling of the same by hand, the bottling
of the bitters, and the other arrangements neces-
sary to fit them for market. Here are employed
quitea number Of men and boys, whose duties
are confined TO this department alone. Other
departments are occupied for packing and maxi
ing ready for shipment the articles produced in
the establishments
Taking this establishment all in all, with its
offices, wareroons, laboratories, workshops, de-,
it is without doubt the most extensive in its de-
partment to be found in the West.
We cannot but congratulate Dr. R. upon his
increasing business as evinced by this enlarg-
ment of his premises. He will now be fully
able, we think, to meet all demands for his
medicines, and give them even a more extended
circulation, than they have heretofore enjoyed,
which already comprises an introduction into
almost every State of the Northwest, as wellas
in the most important cities OF the East.-Ga.
Times.
