COlIetOn BitterS.

THESE Bitters are purely a vegetable com
- pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of henevolence under the fullest convic-
ton that they will be found safe and sovereign
.emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trum-
,hanty tested, not only by some of the most re-
spectacle families and physicians in the State Of
South Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
mony as to their decided excellence, hut also by the
proprietor who, for ten years, suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Bters, of not proving injurious by con-
tinued use. They contain not single deeterious
ingredient, and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the month.
In accordance with your request that would
give my opinion concerning the "Colletin Bitters"
which have both taken myself and used in nv
practice, it affords me pleasure in being able to as
sert that entertain for it mo high and exalted
opinion, as being medicine well calculated to give
eief, and even the disease for which it is is
rued, and has become notorious, namely, Dyspepsia.
know OF no other compound of medicine which is,
as dyspeptc remedy, more often attended with
such gratifying and pleasing result, substituting
for disease good health, for melancholy and op-
pressed heart and mind cheerfulness and sprghtii-
ness of intellect.
know OF one case in particular in which Cole
ton Bitters were peculiarly applicable. After the
unavaillng attendance of the most respectable aro
scientific physicians, and having postponed travelling
as dernier resort when the patient was too deb-
tated to undertake the task, these btters (by the
consent of the attending physican) were resorled
to, and by apersevering continuance attended with
the most unlocked for and happy effects-changing
family Of distress and affliction to one Of happi<
ness, preserving for the infants the guardian eye ofa
mother and for a husband the only comfort and
happiness Of his life. Colleton Bitters believe to
be an invaluable medicine in family practice, being
highly useful in the cholc complaints during denti-
tion. Although preudiced against patent medicines
in this instance cannot but have favorable opin-
ion Judging Of its virtues only by the good see re-
sulting from ite use. With respect,

observations concerning the collecting of books

we have transcribed them for the benefit OF our
readers: .sE..,aa,f
"A scholar says he, who has been all his
life collecting books for his library, will find at
least greatdeal of rubbish; and as his taste al
tiers and his good judgment improves, he will
throw out great many as trash and lumber,
which, il may be. he once thought valuable
and paid dear for, and replace them with such
as are more solid and useful m 1.' ''''.
This teaches the propriety Of consulting
some aged and judicious friend when one is
ftr,ning his library ..r.et. .g, aa. A. s.ai ssg
In closing his remarks on this subject, Mr..
Mason continues: l5 gaauGg6 ittia eftu0l
In short, would we improve the understand
ing to the valuable purposes of self knowledge,
we'must take as much care what books we
read as what company we keep a'l9i,5 .f.''l
