TO TltE CITIZENS OF PENNSYLVANIA. SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS. I beg leave to call the attention of the citi zens of Pennsylvania to the above article, manufactured by mysell exclusively, at my Factory in Schiedam, in Holland, expressly for medicinal purposes. It is made from the best Barley that can be selected in Europe and the essence of an ar omatic Italian berry, ot acknowledged and extraordinary medicinal properties; and it has long since acqntred a higher reputation, Doth in Europe end America, than any other riietio beveiage. In Gravel, Gout, and Rheumatism; in Ob structions of the Bladder and Kidneys, and Debility of the Urinary Functions, its. ef fects are prompt, decided, and invariably re liable. And it is not only a Remedy for these maladies, but, in all cases in which they are produced by Drinking Bad Wa'er, which is, almost universally, the cause of them, it op crates as • Sure Preventive. The distressing effect upon the Stomach, Rowels, and Bladder, to travelers, new resi dents, and all persons unaccustomed to them produced by the waters of nearly all our great inland rivers like the Ohio, Mississippi, and Alabama, from the large quantity of decay ed t egeta'ote matter contained in them, in a state of solution, u< well known :as is also that of the waters of limestone regions, in producing Grsvet, Csleoli, anil Stone in the Bladder. The AROMATIC SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS is an absolute corrective of all these injurious properties of bad wa'er, and consequently prevents the disease which they occasion. It is otso found to be a cure end preventive of Fever and Ague, a eorp plaintcaused by the conjoint eflects of vege table malaria in Ihe atmosphere, and vegeta ble pntrescsnses in the waters of those dis tricts in which it principally prevails The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps is consequent ly in great demand by persons travelling, or about to settle in those pArts of the country especially; as well as by many in every community where it has become known on account of its various other remedial proper ties. More than three thousand physicians, among whom are numbered the greatest names belonging to the faculty of medicine in this country, have cerl'lied, over their own signatures, to the valuable medicinal proper ties of such an article, as the severest tests have proved IheSchiedam Aromatic Schnapps to be, and have accepted it as a most desira ble addition to lire nmlerta media.

I 'I TREASURY OFFICE, J J- HARIUSBURG, May 19 1855. ) To the Treasurer and Commission ers of Columbia County. GENTLEMEN :—You are doubiless aware, that the semi annual interest on the funded debt of the Commonwealth (alls due on Ihe FIRST DAY OF AUGUSI' NEXT. 1 feel impelled unJer of duty lo call your attention to the necessity of prompt and im mediate action to secure an early payment ol the taxes due the State. The reputation and honor of the Stale Hre in a great mea sure committed to your keeping, it is upon the tax due from the several counties, that I reply mainly for the means of making pay ment. lam aware that the late stringency in ihe monetary nlfairs of the country, lias greatly crippled the Manufacturing anil Com mercial interests of the State, that the gener al drought and consequent failure of last year's crops has deprived the farmer of his usual ability lo pay, and that owing to these adverre circumstances, it will require on your than usual efiort lo collect piomptly. 1 know that the highest incite ment to duly that can be placed before the people of this Commonwealin. is to assure them that the honor of the Commonwealth demands such duly at their hands. Which 1 would hold up this higher motive to you, nnd through yon to the people. I would also remind you that by the Act of Assembly of the 28lh day of April, 1844, it is provided that " any county paying into the State Treasury its quota of lax levied on its adjusted valuation, fifteen days prior to the first day of August, in any year, such county shall be entitled to an abatement of live per cent, upon the amount so paid." lam dis posed to give this law a fair and liberal con struction. Where ihe whole amount has not been paid, but an amount opproaching near to the whole, the deduction ol five per cent, will Tie made. I wouid suggest the propriety of allowing the abatement of five percent, by Ihe tax collector immediately to the tax payer, believing that soch a course incite lo a more prompt payment than when the benefit is made accrue to the County Treasury. You will confer a great favor upon me, by letting me know at as early a date as it will be possible for you to 'do so, with any rea sonable degree of certainty, what amount of money you will be able lo furnish, and at what time, Yours respectfully. ELI SLIFER, State Treasuier. NOTICE IS hereby given to the tax payers and Col "■ lectors of Columbia county, lo settle up their State tax on or before the twentieth day of July nef.t, to enable the County Treasurer to pay off the State tax.
