IL pound, and arc offered TO the public from
principle Of bencvoencc, under the fullest convic-
ton that they will be found safe and sovereign
,emedy for Dyspepsia. Thcy have been trium-
,hantly tested, not only by some Of the most re-
;pcctable families and physicians in the State of
South Carolina, who have furnished ample tesli-
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 Bitters, Of not proving injurious by con-
tinucd use. They contain not single delelcrious
ingredient, and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety TO an infant in the month.
