COIIetOn Ritters..

NNHESE Bitters are purely vegetable com
- pound, and are offered TO the public from
principle Of beneyoence, under the fullest convic.
ton that they will be found safe and sovereign
,emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
ohantly tested not only by some Of the most n-
'pectable families and physicians in the State Of
south Carolina, who have furnished ample testi4
ony 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.
tnued use. They contain not single deleierious
Ingredient and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the menlh. .ia
With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind, /
send you certificate relative to the Colleton Bit
ters. gt
In the year 1888, when the cholera was id
Charleston, $. c., was compelled to send servant
to the city On his return he was suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels SO much So
to cause apprehension that he would expire in q
short time il medical aid could not lie procured Il
Immediately resorted to the ColIeon Bitters BY Civ.
ing wine glass full at dose. Ia the course OF q
very short time it acted emetic and throwing
him at the same time into profuse perspiration. i
then continued to give il in small doses, from two 10
three tea spoonsfull, which resulted in happy re-
covery. Since then have been using it constantly
in my family, in cases Of cholera morbus, cholera
infantum, diarrhEa and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others. ua.

II is with feelings Of gratitude as well as pleasure
that take this method Of giving my testimony Of
the great estimation which entertain for your ii,-
valuable compound. In justice not only to the me-
dcine but for the benefit Of others who may be suf-
ferng from the same malady, Dyspepsia, with which
was for years afflicted, feel il duty incumbent
| on me to state that am now restored TO perfect
health. When commenced taking the Colleton
Bitters it last resort. My debility from in
digestion was 10 great that cure was looked upon
as almost hopeless After taking it regularly and
perseveringly for some time, my strength and di-
gesive powers were entirely restored. have never
than five years past, now eat the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. have
also used Coeton Bitters freely in my family for
cholera in antu, cholera mor6us, general debility,
and as tonic after fever, with great success. As
family medicine deem it invaluable, and do con.
scien,iously recommend it,.

HAY MAKING.

Why not adopt the same rule in regard to the
time OF cutting clover and grass for hay, that is fol-
lowed in cutting medicinal herbs ? The object in
both cases is to secure the intrinsic virtues of the
plant. In curing herbs as all acquainted with the
subject admit, the most proper time for cutting is
when they are IN full bloom; and it is also admit
ted that they should be cured in the shade, because
if exposed to the more direct influence OF the sun
and air, some of their valuable properties would be
evaporated
We know there is some difference of opinion in
regard to the proper time for cutting grass. The
advocates for ripe hay contend that there is more
substance" in it, and that 1t will "go further in
feeding stock, than that which is cut while it is in
blossom. And SO we suppose there is still more
substance" in scrub-oak brush, and that it would
go still further in feeding mot Supporting) Stock
Admitting there is more substance in ripe grass,
is it a kind of substance which affords more nour-
ishment to animals?
Plants, at the time Of Towering, contain starch,
gum, and sugar; all Of which are known to nour-

II righteous man regardeh the life of his beast
1t may be well to inquire when man does not. and
when he does, regard the life, health or happiness
OF his beast or horse?

when he drives him faster than walk in rong nn
hill. ~
?. man does not regard the life of his beast.
when he drives him faster than a walk in going
down hill-lt being more difficult for horse f0
descend than to ascend hill
3. man does not regard the life Of his beast
when he leaves him to stand in the cold, without
IA covering upon him.
A. man does not regard the life of his beast.
when he drives him eight or ten miles, without
stopping to rest.
D. man does not regard the life of his beast.
when he leaves him TO stand in the cold without
fodder while he is stabbed in the Bar-room, talking
party-politics and drinking grog.
g. A man does not regard the life of his beast
when he whips him to crafty his passions,or to pass
away his time.
Z. man does not regard the life of his beast
when le does not let him rest on the first day of
the week.
