+, COlletOn Bitters.

NHESE Bittefs are prrety vegetable com
- pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of benevoence, under the fullest convic-
lion that they will be found a safe and sovereign
emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
,hantly tested, not only by some Of the most re-
'pectable families and physicians in the State OF
south Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
nony 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 Biters, of not proving injurious by con-
tnued use. They contain not single delelerious
Ingredient and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the month.
With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind, I
send you certificate relative to the Colleton Bit
ters.
In the year 1888, when the cholera was in
Charleston, 8. c., was compelled to send servant
to the city. On his return, he was suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels, 80 much 80
as to cause apprehension that he would expire in
short time, if medical aid could not be procured.
Immediately resorted to the Colleton Btters by Civ
ing wine glass full at Dose In the course of
very short time 1t acted as emetic, and throwing
him at the same time into profuse perspraton.
then continued to give il in small doses from t,uo to
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, diarrhGa and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions however, require much larger doses
than others y a95.l

It 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 in
valuable compound In justice not only to the me-
dicine 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 was as last resort. My debility from in
digestion was 10 great that cure was looked upon
as almost hopeless. After taking il regularly and
perseveringly for some time, my strength and di-
gesve powers were entirely restored. I have never
taken single dose of any other medicine for more
than five years past. can now eat the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. have
also used Colleton Bitters freely in my family for
cholera infantum cholera morbus general debility,
and as a tonic after fever with great success As
family medicine deem it invaluable, and do con.
scentiously recommend it.
