Removal Of the Scandinavian Labratory and
business HouSe-Catawba and Swedish Bran
s1esj &c. &c.

For some weeks past, the large stone from
buildings on Third street, east of Sycamore
lately occupied in part by the Adams FIX
press Company, have been in course of prepa
ration for the reception Of the business car
red on SO successfully for some years past il
our city, by DIR. G. w Roback, proprietor O
the celebrated Scandinavian Remidies, BlooC
Purifier and Pills, and the well known Stom
ach Bitters, which bear his name. The con
siantly increasing popularity of these medi
ciues, has required third extension of th
limits heretofore occupied in their manufac
ture.
The new premises, one hundred feet front
and extending one hundred and thirty feet il
the rear, have, internally, been completely re
modelled, the spacious apartments now being
connected by arcbways cut through hereto
fore solid walls, and everything else having
been done. which can facilitate the purposes
which they are devoted.
Another extensive branch of this institu
ton is the manufacture Of the celebrated Swe
dish Brandy. 1t is stimulation, aromantiC
and slightly medicinal, being aud excellent
remedy for dyspepsia. 1t is a pleasant bev
erage. Ladies can even partake of ordinary
quantities without feeling undue intoxica
ting effects, so mild is it in its composition
1t is a great favorite in Sweden-in fact, 81
much SO that it may be styled the nationa
beverage. Ii is prepared in the purest quail
ty by Dr. Roback.
A short visit TO the new premises of DR.
R, on Saturday last, proved most interesting

tering 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 furnaces and capacious
copper stills, notify us that we are in the re-
giou appropriated to the purpose of distila.
tion. From this we enter a spacious apartment
lined with immense receivers, each containing
hundreds of gallons, devoted to the more es
pecial purposes of the labratory as needful
in the preparation Of the Scandinavian Rem
edies.
Entering another apartment, we come up
on lorg tiers of barrels, slowed in every d.
rection, and filed with pumice and lees Of last
years growth to be used in the manufacture
of the Catawba Brandy. Another still is de-
voted to the storage of immense quantities of
glass ware, roots and other REQUISITES needfuI
to the proper preparation and putting up oi
the medicines.
One story higher up, ard we come upon the
work shop, or the apartments appropriated tn
the making of pills by machinery, aud the
boxing and labelling of the same by hand the
botteling of the bitters, and the other arrange.
ments necessary to fit them for market Here
are employed quite a number Of men and boys
whose duties are confined to this department
alone. Other departments are occupied for
packing and making ready for shipment the
articles produced in the establishment
Taking this establishment oil in all, with
its offices, warerooms, laboratories, workshops,
&C., it is withuot doubt the most extensive
in its department to be found in the West,
We cannot but congratulate DR.. R., upon
his increasing business as evinced by the en-.
largenent of his premises, He will now be
fully able, we think, to meet all demands for
his medicines, and give them even more ex-
tended circulation than they have heretofore
enjoyed, which already comprises an introduc-
tion into almost every State Of the North
west, as well as in the most important cities
Of the East,
