COLLETON BITTERs.

VHESE Bitters are purely vegetable com
u pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of benevolence under the fullest convic-
ton 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-
spectable families and physicians in the State Of
South Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
mony as 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 excellence, denied to
most other Bittcrs, of not proving injurious by
tnued use. They contain not single deleterious
ingredient, and, 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 Collector Bit
tiers.
In the year 1898, when the cholera was in
Charleston, S. G., was compelled to send servant
to the city. On his return, he suddeAy attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels, much so
as to cause apprehension that he would expire in
short time if medical aid could not be procured.
Immediately resorted to the Coleton Bitters by CIV
ing wine glass full at dose. In the course of
very short time it acted an emetc, and throwing
him at tho same time into profuse Precipitation.
then continued to give il in small doses, from t,oo to
three tea spoonsfull, which resulted in happy re-
coyery. Since then have been using it constantly
in my family, in cases of cholera morbus, cholera
nfantum, diarrhGa and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than Others

1t is with feelings of gratitude as well as pleasure
that take this method of giving my testimony Of
the great estimation which entertain for your in
valuable compound. In justice not only to the me-
dicne but for the benefit of others who may be suf
fcring from the same nalady, 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 tho Colleton
Bitters it was as last resort. My debility from in
digestion was 30 great that cure was looked upon
as almost hopeless. After taking il regularly and
pcrscveringly for some time, my strength and di-
gcstive powers were entirely restored. have never
taken a single dose of any other medicine for more
than five years past. can now eat the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. have
also used Colleton Btters freely in my family for
cholera fantun, cholera morbus, general debility,
and as tonic after fever, with great success. As
family medicine deem it invaluable, and do con-
scientiously recommend it.

entertain the Ladies and Gentlemen of
Mineral Point, this evening, Dec. l6) with
Lecture upon Anatomy and Physiology,
at the Court House, which will be illustra
ted with a Manakn, or Model Man, by
which every vein, artery, nerve, muscle
and membrane, the organs of the seve-
raj senses, and all the internal viscera, as
the lungs, heart, liver &c. are most inge-
niously presented. We have never had
the pleasure Of listening to lecture from
DR.. NJ, bat from the clear and forcible
manner in which he explained some parts
of the above sciences. during brief in
teryiew with him at the Court House, last
evening, we venture to predict that our
citizens will be highly gratifed with the
lecture this evening. At all events, as it
will be free, we hope all who have taste
for the subject connected with it, will a.
vail themselves of the present opportunity.
We understand that DR.. M. will remain
in town for a few days, and hope he may
meet with sufficient encouragement TO in
duce him to give a regular course Of lee
lures upon the above subjects. of which
he appears to be perfect master.
