Pennsylvania to the above article, manufactured by mysell exclusively, at my Faotory in Schiedam, in Holland, expressly for medicinal purposes. It is made from the best Barley that can be i selected in Europe and the essence of au ar -1 omatic Italian berry, of acknowledged and L extraordinary medicinal properties; and it I has long sinoa acquired a higher reputation, ■ ooth in Europe and America, than any other fffjjetio hevetage. ft 'in Gravel, Gout, and Rheumatism; in Ob ■ atructious of the Bladder and Kidney s, and I Debility of the Urinary Functions, its. ef- I feels are prompt, decided, and invariably re ft liable. And it is not only a Remedy for these r maladies, but, in all cases in which Ihey are produced by Drinking Bad YN'a'.er, which is, ' almost universally, the cause of them, it op erates as a Sure Preventive. * The distressing effect upon the Stomach, Bowels, aud Bladder, to truvelers, 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 qunniity of decay ed vegetable matter contained in them, in a slate of solution, is well known ; as is also that of the waters of limestone regions, in I producing Gravel, Calculi, and Slone in the [ Bladder. The AROMATIC SCHIEDAM [ SCHNAPPS is an absolule corrective of all I these injurious properties of bad vvatet. and I consequently prevents the disease which they occasion. It is also found to be a cure 1 and preventive of Fever and Ague, a com plaint caused by the conjoint effects ol vege table malaria in the almosplicre, and vegeta ble putrescenseß 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 parte of the country especially; as well as by many in every ' community whero it has become known on account of ils 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 certified, over their own signatures, to the valuable medicinal proper ties of Such an article, as the severest tests have proved the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps . to be, and have accepted it as a most desira ble addition to the materia medica.

UPDOLPIIO WOLFE— Dear Sir: I can not speak to highly of the purity ofyout Schi , odam Schnapps. It is decidedly superior to i•' anything of the kind in market. It is per fectly free from the admixture ol fusil nil, or of any of those amylio compounds which produce such a mischievous and irreparable effect upon the constitution, and which very few samples of alcoholic distilled liquors are without —most olthern being Inrgelj impreg nated with it. I have rrersoutdly inspected ' the various process of distillation practiced at Schiedam, and know that unusual care is taken to separa'e the noxious elements I (fern the pure alcohol, and your Schnapps is a striking proof of its success. As a medici nal agent for chronic and renal affections, 1 have successfully prescribed il, and recom mend it as an agreeable cordisl and harm less stimulant, and shall continue to do so; as well as to use it as a source of pure alco hol for chemical investigations and experi ments.

GBNTLEMKN :—You are doubtless aware, that the semi annual interest on the funded debt at the Coniinonweahh lulls due on the FIRST DAY OF AUGUST NEXT. 1 feel impelled under a sense of duly to call your attention to the necessity of prompt and im mediate aclion to secure an early payment ot the taxes due the Stale. The reputation i and honor of the Stale are in a great mea -1 Buro committed to your keeping, it is upon the tax due from the ocvornl ooumies, that I reply mainly for the means of making pay ment. lam aware that the late stringency in the monetary affairs of the country, has greatly crippled the Manufacturing and Com mercial interests of Ihe Stale, that tho gener al drought and consequent failure of last year's crops has deprived the farmer of his usual ability to pay, and that owing to these adverse eircuniMances, it will requite on your part a more than usual efiort to collect piomplly. I know that the highest incite ment to duly that can be placed before the people of this Commonwealm, is to assure tliena that the honor of Ihe Commonwealth demands such duty at their hands. Which I would hold up this higher motive to you, unit through yon to the people. I would also remind youlhat by the Act of Assembly of the 28th day of April, 1844, it is provided that " any county paying into the State Treasury its quota of lax levied on its adjusted valuation, lilteou days prior to Ihe first day of August, in any year, such county shall be entitled to a i übalemont of five per cent, upon the amount so paid." lum dis posed to give this law a fair and liberal con struction. Where the whole amount has ■ not been paid, but an amount approaching I near to the whole, the deduction of five per cent, will be made. 1 wouid suggest the > propriety of allowing the abatement of five ' per cent, by the tax collector immediately to the lax payer, believing that each a course incite to a more prompt payment than when the benefit is made accrue to the County Treasury. Y'ou will confer a great favor upon me, by letting me know at as early a da!e 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 to furnish, and at what time, Yours respectfully.
