COLLETON BITTERs

THESE Bitters are purely a vegetable com
j. pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of beneyoence, under the fullest convc-
ion that they will be found safe and sovereign
emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
,hantly tested, not only by some Of the most re-
pec,able families and physicians in the State Of
south Carolina, who have furnished ample tcsti-
,ony as their decided excellence, hut also by the
proprietor who for years, suffered all the gloom
accident TO that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Bi,ters, Of not proving injurious by
tinucd use. They contain not single dce'erious
ingredient, and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety TO an infant in the month.
