COllctOn Bitters.

INHESE bNtefs are purely vegetable com
u pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of benevolence under the fullest convic-
tion 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-
.peetabe 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 Bitters Of not proving injurious by con-
tnued 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 infant in the month.
In accordance with your request that would
give my opinion concerning the "Colletin Bitters,"
which have both taken myself and used in my
practices it affords me pleasure in being able to ss-
sert that entertain for it mo high and exalted
opinion, as being medicine well calculated to give
relief and even the disease for which it is is
aued, and has become notorious, namely Dyspepsia
know Of no other compound of medicine which is,
as dyspepdc remedy, more often attended with
such gratifying and pleasing result substituting
for disease good health, for melancholy and OPP
pressed heart and mind cheeulness and sprightli-
ness of intellect Y, "A tta s7sa' q f7e
know Of one case in particular in which Colle-
ton Bitters were peculiarly applicable. After the
unavailing attendance Of the most respectable ard
scientific physicians, and having postponed travelling
as derier resort when the patient was too debil-
tated TO- undertake the task, these bitters (by the
consent Of the attending physician) were resorted
to, and by aperseverng continuance, attended with
the most unlocked for and happy effects changing
q family Of distress and affection to one of happi
ness preserving for the infants the guardian eye Of a
mother, and for q husband the only comfort and
happiness Of his life. Colleton Biters believe to
be an invaluable medicine in family practice, being
highly useful in the choc complaints during denti-
ton. Although prejudiced against patent medicines
in this instance cannot but have favorable opin-
ion judging Of its virtues only by the good see re-
sulDg from lite use With respect,
