the great estimation which entertain for your in

fering 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 l commenced taking the Collector
Biters it was last resort. My debility from in
digestion was 10 great that cure was looked upon
as almost hopeless. After taking it regularly and
perseveringly for some time, my strength and d.
gestive powers were entirely restored have never
taken 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 Collector Btters freely in my family for
cholera Atont,, cholera morbus, general debility,
and as tonic after fever with great success. As a
family medicine deem it invaluable, and do con-
scientously recommend it.

CoLLEToN BITTERs.

THESE Bitters are purely vegetable com
- pound, and are offered TO the public from
principle Of benevolence, under the fullest c0nvc-
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-
pectabe 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 years. suffered all the gloom
Incident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied TO
most other Biers, Of not proving injurious by
tinuea use. They contain not single deleterious
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,
send you certificate relative to the Colleton Bit
ters.
In the year 1888, when the cholera was in
Charleston, s. g., was compelled to send servant
to the city. On his return, he was suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels, much
as TO cause apprehension that he would expire in a
short time, if medical aid could not be procured
Immediately resorted to the Coeton Bitters, by Civ
ing wine glass full at Dose In the course of q
very short time it acted as an emetic, and throwing
then continued to give il in small doses, from t,co TO
three tea spoonsfull, which resulted in happy
covery. Since then have been using it constantly
in my family, in cases Of cholera moibus, cholera
infantum, diarrhaa and general debility and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.
