CoLLEToN BITTERs.

.INHESE Bitters are purely vegetable com

principle Of benevolence under the fullest convic-
ton that they will be found q safe and sovereign
'emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been tEiunn-
,hantly tested, not only by some Of the most re-
pectable families and physicians in the State Of
south Carolina, who have furnished ample tesii-
NOW as to their decided excellence, but also by the
proprietor who for ten years, suffered a-the gloom
accident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by
tinucd use They contain not single deleierious
ingredient, and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety 10 an infant in the menth.

In the year 1888, when the cholera was in
Charleston, S. O., was compelled to send servant
to the city. On his return, he suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain In his bowels SO much 30
as to cause apprehension that he would expire in
short time If medical aid could not I've procured.
Immediately resorted TO the Collector Biiters, BY Civ
ing wine glass full at dose. In the course Of o
very short time it acted emetic, and throwing
him at the same time into profuse perspiration.
then continued to give tinsmall Doses from tiD0 to
three tea spoonsfuII, which resulted in happy re.
covery. Since then have been using it constantly
in my family, in cases Of cholera morbus, cholera
infantum, diarrhasa and general debility. and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.

On Monday evening last Coroner's In
quest was held in this City over the dead body
of Mr.. Lothian Norwood, a citizen of this
County. The verdict of the Jury was, that
the said Norwood came to his death by a
wound inflicted On the left side of his neck
and throat. with knife, by Henry Watson.
1t seems that the deceased was struck but once
with the knife, but the blow severed a lead
ing artery-the blood poured and spouted from
the wound. and he sank down and died in less
than minute. MIR. Watson made his escape
and has not thus far been taken.
ing and that from testing and laughing at
each other, they proceeded to hard words, and
then TO blows. We believe that nine-tenths
OF the evils and crimes which aff1ict and dis
grace humanity, may be traced to the lmpro-
per and immoderate use of arden spirits.
