COIletOn Bitters.

"HESE Btters are purely vegetable cd
IL pound, and are offered TO the public fror|
principle Of benevolence, under the fullest con
ton that they will be found safe and sovereI
emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been triu
,han,ly tested not only by some of the most
spectacle families and physicians in the State
south Carolina, who have furnished ample tel
mony as to their decided excellence, hut also by I
proprietor who, for ten years, suffered all the glo(
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied
most other Bitters, of not proving Injurious by cd
tinued use. They contain not single deleterid
ingredient, and, as seen from the directions Will
accompany each bottle, may be given with ent|
safety to an infant in the month.
In accordance with your request that wol
give my opinion concerning the "Colletin Bitter
which have both taken myself and used in /
practice, it affords pleasure in being able TO

opinion, as being medicine well calculated to q
relief and even cure the disease for which it is
aued, and has become notorious, namely, Dyspeps
/ know Of no other compound of medicine which
as dyspeptic remedy, more often attended w
such gratifying and pleasing result, substitute
for disease good health, for melancholy and
pressed heart and mind cheerfulness and sprigh
ness of intellect
know Of one case in particular in which Col
ton Bitters were peculiarly applicable. After |
unavailing attendance of the most respectable a
scientific physicians, and having postponedtra traveIli
as dernier resort, when the patient was too deb
lated to undertake the task, these bitlers (by
consent Of the attending physcian) were resor
to, and by persevering continuance, attended "
the most unlocked for and happy effects changi
family Of distress and affiction to one of hap
ness, preserving for the infants the guardian eye
mother, and for husband the only comfort a
happiness of his life. Colleton Bitters believe
be an invaluable medicine in family practice, bel
highly useful in the cholic complaints during den
ton. Although preiudiced against patent medcin
in this instance cannot but have a favorable op
ion. Judging of its virtues only by the good sees
