CoLLEToN BITTERs

INHESE Bitters are purely pegetabk com
u pound, and are offered to the public from
principle of henevoence, under the fullest conyic-
lion that they will be found safe and sovereign
emcdy for Dyspepsia. They have been trum-
,hantly tested not only by some Of the most re-
pecable families and physicians in the State Of
south Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
nony their decided excellence, but also BY the
proprietor, who, for ten years, suffered all the gloom
inciden to that stubborn and distressing disease
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied 10
most other Bitters Of not proving injurious by con-
tnucd use. They contain not single deleerous
Ingredient and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety TO an infant in the menih.
With pleasure, and for the benefit Of mankind, !
send you certificate relative to the Colleton Bit
ifrs.
IN the. year 1898, 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 NO
as to cause apprehension that he would ex pire in a
short time, il medical aid could not be procured.
Immediately resorted to the Collcton Bitters by gv-
ing wine glass full at a dose. In the course OF a
very short time it acted as an emetic, and throwing
him at the same time into profuse PRECIPITATION.
then continued to give il in small doses, from taco to
three spoonsfull, which resulted in happy re-
covery. Since then have been using il constantly
