COLLETON BITTERs.

'HESE Bitters are purely a vegetable corn
= pound, and are offered to the public from
principle of henevolence, under the fullest convic
ton that they will be found safe and sovereign
'emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
ohantly tested, not only by some of the most re-
pectable families and physicians in the State Of
South Carolina, who have furnished ample tes,i-
nony to their decided excellence hut also by the
proprietor, who, for ten years. suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar exccllence, denied TO
most other Bitters Of not proving injurious by con-
tnued use. They contain not single deleierious
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,
send you certificate relative to the Colleton Bit.
tiers,
In the year 1888, when the cholera was in
Charleston, s. c., was compelled TO send servant
to the city. On his return, he was suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels, 20 much 70
as to cause apprehension that he would expire in
short time, if medical aid could not be procured.
Immediately resorted TO the Collector Biters, by Civ
ing wine glass full at dose. In the course Of a
very short time it acted an emetic, and throwing
him at the same time into profuse perspiration.
then continued to give in small doses, from ftoo
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, darrhga and general debility, and in
every instance found 1t highly beneficial Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.

that take this method Of giving my testimony of
the great estimation which entertain for your ILL
valuable compound. In justice not only to the me.
dcine but for the benefit Of others who may be suf-
ferng from the same malady, Dyspepsia, with which
was for years afflicted, feel it duty incumbent
on me to state that am now restored to perfect
health. When commenced taking the Colleton
Bitters it was a last resort. My debility from in

as almost hopeless. After taking il regularly and

gestive powers were entirely restored. have never

A RAIL ROAD.

The prospects of a Rail Road from Lower
Sandusky through our place on to Col umbus
are frightening, and without doubt this i'm
provement will be established, while this great
work will be in progress, Upper Sandusky
will continue in more prosperous and en-
livened condition, and after this work will be
completed, there can be home market had.
With all this added to the speed of Upper
Sandusky, she can compete with any county
town in the State, for marketing or any other
important business; this is not to highly fiat
tering our beautiful located town and it's en-
terprising citizens, but is telling truths and
doing justice to both. In speaking of our
town, we might add much more, but deem it
unnecessary, while it shows for it's sefin the
way of public improvement.

4 Let the Democrats OF Ohio take warning
be the fate of others.
The Louisville Democrat, speaking Of the
defeat of Mr.. Merriwether for Congress in
that district, charges it entirely on the split
in the democratic ranks about Senator. The
Democrat says:
They the wings, have succeeded in this
district by split in the three counties of Old
ham, Henry, and Trimble, amongst the dem
ocrats. There were two candidates for the
Senate of Kentucky. The dissatisfaction was
so great as to keep hundreds of democrats
from the polls. If these counties had given
near the full democratic vote. MerriWether
would have been elected easily. Nothing
but this unfortunate state of things defeated
us, as the wings very well know. 1t is use
less TO regret what is passed, but we hope our
friends in the counties mentioned above will
see to it that the same difficulty does not oc-
cur again We don't see how good demo-
crat knowing the importance Of member Of
Congress from this state, could have ut the
result al hazard for the paltry ambition Of
figuring as senator. We don't know who is in
fault. The regular nominee ofcourse claimed
a right to the track, but the friends Of the IN.
dependent candidate would doubtless give
divers reasons to justify their course. We
don't pretend to decide between them, but we
know the result has been to defeat our can
didate for Congress who ought to have been
ele ted. Still, under all these disadvantages,
sc have given the opposition hard race and
brought down their majority from six or seven
hundred to some thing over one hundred. The
wings, as we have said before, did tteir best
and worst by clap trap, humbug and money
the latter protest agent and used profusely,'
1t is thus, by the ambition or secret alliance
of pro/rssed friends ith the opposltion, that
our friends are often defeated. Let the de-
mocracy of Ohio take warning in time let
them frown down the factious and dlsorganz-
ing. Alter all your labor aud anxiety in a
contest that tries the very souls of men, in its
intensity, how frequently is defeat brought
about by the selfish and factious! Democrats,
or those who profess to be such, who spend
the most OF their time in vill'ying men Of their
own party, cannot te trusted when their votes
are wan ted against the common enemy
Their ceilings ride over all their professed
love of principle and they prefer defeat of
themselves, or pos'ponement OF their hopes OF
official honors Better had we think and talk
of these things before the election, than have
the modification to record them alter the cleo
tion is over. Our election is fast approaching
let us be up and prepared for action.
