FoURKRrsM IN A NKw SHAPR-The Fourierite
association at Skeneaies, appear to be wallowing
and revelling in the wild doctrines of mesmerism
and materialism. In their organ, the Commsritisf,
published at Motville, by the somewha, famous Jno.
A Collins, the head front, and tail Of the Fourier
ties in that region, we see long article, headed
Physiology and the Bible" from which we take
few extracts 1t will be recollected that the
organ OF the Fourierites in this city, emitted
storm Of rage and fury against the Herald, when
tore away the veil with which they tried to con-
ceal their infidelity,.a few years since. But we
were not to be deterred-wc saw the cloven FOOT
and we exposed it to public view.

COlIetOn Bitters.

III NHESE Bitters are purely vegetable com
u pound and are offered TO the public from n
principle of beneyolence, under the fullest convic
ton that they will be found safe and sovereign
emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
ohanly tested, not only by some Of the most re-
spectable families and physicians in the State Of
South Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
ony as to their decided excellence but 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 deleterious
Ingredient and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an m infant in the month. n, .9da ,dgti
In accordance with your request that | would
give my opinion concerning the TColelin Bitters,"
which have both taken myself and used in my
practice. il affords pleasure in being able to as
sert that entertain for it mo high and exalted
opinion, as being medicine well calculated 10 give
relief and even cure the disease for which il is s-
aued, and has become notorious, namely, Dyspepsia.
know Of no other compound Of medicine which is,
as dyspep,ic remedy, more often attended with
such gratifying and pleasing result, substituting
for disease good health, for melancholy and OPP
pressed heart and mind cheerulness and sprightli-
ness Of intellect.
know Of one case in particular in which Colle-
ton Btters were peculiarly applicable. After the
unavailing attendance Of the most respectable art
scientific physicians and having postponed travelling
as dernier resort when the patient was too debil-
tated to undertake the task, these bitters (by the
consent Of the attending physcian) were resored
to, and by persevering continuance, attended with
the most unlocked for and happy effects changing
family distress and affection to of happ>
ness, preserving for the infants the guardian eye of
- Al.
happiness of his life. Coeton Btters believe to
be an invaluable medicine in family practice, being
highly useful in the choic complaints during denti
ton. Although preudiced against patent medicines,
in this instance cannot but have a favorable opn-
ion judging of its virtues only by the good re-
sulting from ite use. With respect, a3.s4.,
