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.
Put up in quart and pint bottles, enveloped
In yellow paper with my name on the bot
tle, cork and seal. For sale by all respecta
ble Druggists anil Grocers.

'• laboratory, N. 1", May 2, 1855.
" MR. UPDOLPHO Woi.re— Dent Sir: (can
not speak to highly of the purity of yom Schi
eJam Schnapps. It is decidedly superior to
anything of the kind in market. It is per
fectly free from the admixture ol fusil oil,
or of any of those arnylic compounds which
produce such a mischievous and irreparable
effect upon the •constitution, and which very
few samples of alcoholic distilled liquors ate
without—most ol them being largelj impreg
nated with it. I have personally inspected
the various ptocess of distillation practiced
at Schiedam, and know that unusual care is
taken to separate the noxious elements
(rem the pure alcohol,and your Schnapps i
a striking proof of its success. As a medici
nal agent for chronic and renal affections, I
hare successfully prescribed it, and recom
mend it as an agreeable cordial ami harm
less stimulant, arid shall continue to do so :
as well as to use it as a source of pure alco
hol for cheqiical investigations and experi
ments. Your* obedient, ISAIAII DECS.
Consulting Analytical Chemist."

Health, Bul imore, wtiies ns follows in relit

In chronic catarrhal complaints, ke. The
letter is dated July 27, 1853:
" I take grcil pleasure in bearing It ighly
Creditable testimony lo lis efficacy as a rem
edial agent in the diseases for which ybu rec
ommend it. Having a natural tendency to
the mocons surfaces, with a slight degree ol
stimulation,! regard it as one of the most
important remedies in throttio catarrhal af

through your agent in this city, a bottle of
your AromaticHchiedain Schnapps, and since
that period has prescribed the same in certain

debility in aged persona. So far, the Schnap; a
baa la-en of much benefit to thove using it

atimnlant is tequired, I should use the Aro
matic Schiedam Schnapps. hanking you for
your kindness, 1 am respectfully yours,

The aulijoiticd letter from Dr PAINE, of
Manchester, N. H„ relates to one of the most
valuable medicinal properties possessed by tho
Aromatic Schnapps, and shows that it acta as
a specify: in a very paibful disease—the Grav
el:
"Mr. Wotra : —Permit me lo address yon
a few lilies, which you are at liberty to use if
you think proper, in respect to your medicine,
called Schiedam Schnapps. I have had a very
onatinatecase of gravel and stone, of some five
. years standing, causing very acute pain in
* eveiy attempt to urinate. After using many
remedies without much relief, I was induced to
try a bctllo of your medicine. In the course
of threae days it proved effectual, dislodging*
large pieces of atone, some of which were at
large aa a marrowfat pea. I continued the cor
dial, according to directions, end the patient
continued to gain, end is fast recovering, I
think a medicine of so much value iu ao dis
tressing a complaint, should be known to the
publie, tod the world at large. And I, for one
muet give it my ef probation and signature.

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.
