T the suggestion of many of the most respec-
~ table citizens of Washington, and in accor-
dance with general wish expressed by visitors at
the seat of Government, that a commodious and
genteel place Of resort for general refreshments
might be established on the plan of some OF the
most celebrated Northern and Eastern Restaura-
teurs, the extensive establishment known as the
Fronting the Unitarian Church, and IN rear o.
Coleman's Hotel, has been refitted and furnished
for the purpose, and the Saloons are now an
nounced as being ready for the reception Of COM
pany, with a full supply of choice Game, Oysters,
and every delicacy of the season.
A separate entrance to the establishment will
introduce ladies and gentlemen to reserved Sa-
looms, where they will meet with the most respect
full attention, and parties may depend at all times
on being served with promptitude and at moder-
ate charges.
The style in which these Saloons are fitted up,
and the manner in which the friends of the estab-
lishment and the public will be served, it is con-
fdently believed, will be satisfactory.

CoLLEToN BITTERs.

1NyHESE Bitters are purely a vegetable com
u pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of benevolence, under the fullest convc-
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-
.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 Bitters, Of proving injurious by con-
tinued use. They contain not single deleierions
ingredient, and, us 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 Colleton Bit
ters
In the year 1893, when the cholera was in
Charleston, s. c., was compelled to send servant
to the city. On his return, he was 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 be procured.
Immediately resorted TO the Coeton Bitters, by CIV
ing wine glass full at dose. In the course Of a
very short time it acted as emetic, and throwing
him at the same time into profuse perspiration.
then continued to give il in small doses, from hco to
three tea spoonsfull, which resulted in happy re.
covery. Since then have been using it constantly
in my family, in cases OF cholera molbus, cholera
infantum, diarrhGa and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.

II is with feelings Of gratitude well 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.
dicine but for the benefit of others who may be su
fering from the malady, 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 the Colieton
Bilters it was as 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 colleton Bitters freely in my family fol
choAera latantun., cholera mOrbus, general debility
and as tonic after fever with great success. As
family medicine deem it invaluable, and do con
scenliousy recommend it.
