For some weeks past, The largo stone
front buildings on Third street, east of
Sycamore, lately occupie,lin part by the
Adams Express Company. have been in
course OF preparation for tho reception
Of the business carried sn so successfully
Tor some years past in our city, by Dr..
q. w Roback, proprietor Of tho cele-
6raled Scandinavian Remedies, tho Blood
Purifier and Pills, and tho well known
Stomach BiIieB, which bear his name.
The constantly increasing popularity oil
these medicines, has required third
extension Of the limits heretofore occu,
pied in their manufacture.
The new premises, one hundred feet
font and extending one hundred and
thirty feet in The rear, have internally,
been completely remoislOd, the spacious
apartments now being connected by
anhwsys cut through heretofore solid
walls, and everything else having been
done, which can facilitate tho purposes
to which they are devoted.
In connection with tho extensive bus
mess in which DR.. R. had previously
been engaged, he has, for some time past,
entered largely into the manufacture Of
genuine Cats@ba Brandy, an article al
ready enjoying a most favorable repula.
ton, and beirg widely used for medicin.
al purposes. A large amount of this has
been introduced, most benefcialIy, into
the army hospitals, heavy orders hav-
ing been filled for the use ofthose insti.
tntions IN Washington city.
Another extensive branch of this in
stiiution is the manufacture of the cele.
brated Swedish Brandy. It's slimula.
nng, aromatic and slightly medicinal,
being on excellent remedy for dyspepsia.
ltisa pleasant beverage. Ladies can
even par'ako of ordinary qnen.ies with.
out feeling undue intoxicating effects,
so mild is ii in its composition. It is a
great favorite in Sweden-in fact, so
mucd so that it may be styled the Ma
tional 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
interesting, and we think is worthy a
passing notice. Entering from the neat
y arranged countngroom, we 90 FIRST TO
the rear of the premises, and find our.
selves in large area, where the pres.
encc of spacious furnaces ard capacious
copper stills, notify US that we are in
the region appropriated TO tho pur.
poses OF dsiilIaliou. From this we en-
ter spacious apartment lined with i'm
mense receivers, each containing hun
dreds of gallons, devoted 10 the more es.
pecial purposes of the laboratory as
needfal in the preparation Of the Scan.
dinavian remedies.
Entering another apartment, we come
upon long tiers Of barrels, slowed in ey.
cry direction, and filed with the pumice
and Ices of last years growth, to be used
in the manufacture ofthe Catawba Fran,
dY. Another still is devoted to the sto.
rage of immense quantities of glass. ware
roots, and other requisites needful to the
proper preparation and putting up Of tho
medicines.
One story higher up, and we came up.
on the workshop, or the apartments sp-
propriatcd 10 the making of pills by ma.
chinery, and the boxing AMI labelling Of
the same BY hand, the boltlins Of the
bi'ters, and the other arrangements ne
cessary 10 fit them for market Hcrc
are employed quite a number Of men
and boys, whose duties are confined to
this department alone. Other depart.
ments are occupied for packing and ma.
king ready for shipment the articles pro.
iuced in the establishment,
Taiing this establishment all in all, |
with its Offices, warerooms, laboratories,
workshops, &C., it is without doubt The
most extensive in its department to be
'ound in the West,
We cannot but congratulate DR.. R.
lpon his increasing business as evinced
BY this enlargement of his premises
He will now be fully able we think. to
meet all demands for bis medicines, and
give them even more extended circu-
alton than they have heretofore enjoyed |
which already comprises an introduction
into almost every State of the North,
west, as well rs in the most important
cities Of the East Cincinnati Tines.
