CoLLEToN BITTERs.

vuNHESE Bitters are purely vegetable com
u pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of benevolence, under the fullest convic-
lion 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-
'pectable families and physicians in the State Of
south Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
nony as 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
tinued 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 menth.
With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind |

very short time it acted as an emetc, and throwing

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

every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions however, require much larger doses
than others.
