Bless their dear hearts, they are SO fond oi

that the touch Of lady will never hurt any

principle of benevolence under the fullest convic-
ton that they will be found a safe and sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
phanhy 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 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 Btters, of not proving injurious by con-
tinued use. They contain not single deeterious
ingredient, and, as from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the month.
