COLLETON BITTERs

TNHESE Bitters are purely a vegetable com
II pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of benevolence, under the fullest convic-
lion that they will be found a safe and sovereign
emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been rium-
,hantly tested, not only by some Of tho most re-
pectabIe families and physicians in the State of
south Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
nony to their decided excellence, but also by the
proprietor, who for years. suffered all the gloom
accident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Bers, of not proving injurious by con-
tinuea use. They contain not single deeterious
ingredient, and as 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 Coeton Bit
ters.
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 so
as to cause apprehension that he would expire in
short time if medical aid could not be procured.
Immediately resorted to the Colleton Biters by Civ
ing wine glass full at dose. Ia the course of a
very short time it acted an emetic and throwing
him at the same time into prouse perspiration. |
then continued to give in small Doses from taco to
THREE ten spoonsfui which resulted in happy re-
coyery. Since then have been using it constantly
in my family, in cases Of cholera bus, cholera
! infantum, diarrhRa and general debility, and in
| every instance found it highly beneficial Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.
JOS. d. JENKINS.
Bhufion, s. c., 1916.
II is with feelings of gratitude az well pleasure
that take this method of giving my testimony of
the great estimation which entertain for your i-
valuable compound. In justice not only to the me-
dicine but for the benefit Of others who may be su-
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 commenced taking the Colleton
Bitters il was last resort. My debility from in
digestion was great that cure was looked upon
as almost hopeless. After taking il regularly and
perseveringy for some time, my strength and d.
gesiive powers 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 Bitters freely in my family for
cholera lnfontum, cholera morbs, general debility,
and as tonic after fever, with great success. AS
family medicine deem it invaluable, and do con.
scienliously recommend it.

THE SEAT OF WAR.

There is again batch Of rumors from Mexico.
IL Is said that Santa Anna took the initiative and
appointed three commissioners, without the consent
OF congress, to meet MIR. Trls, but that the result
oil the conference had ended in smoke. There are
no Signs OF peace. and, as we believe, never has
ocen since this war commenced.
It's now said that Gen Scott was TO take up his
march from Puebla on the. 5th Of July for the
capital II s also said tina, Santa Anna has an ar
my OF 22QOO men with which he designs to dis
pute Gen'l Scotts passage to the city. We may,
therefore. look for another Ccrro Gofdo affair
Cen1 Pierce, with a force Of some three thou
sand, was ON his way TO join Cen Scott. Two
bridges had been destroyed by the ruerrillas, and
they had attacked Pierce with great resolution. but
ai.er contest OF some four hours were defeated
with considerable loss II is said that he will Inc
harrassed by them throughout his entire Journey

in force and determination
The vomito has cut down many very MANY =,

by Gen. Wilson, the present Governor Of the ciiy.

loss Is not so great reported 1t is not more than

difficulty has occurred among the officers Of
the army as TO rank. Gen. Worth has refused
as he ought to have done, to obey both Generals
Qutman's and Pillows orders. Gen. Scott has
made decision, and we infer. though 1t is not
stated. in favor OF the gallant Worth.
The Mexican tariff is regarded as the veriest
humbug. 1t will not yield over 81 100000 per
annum. although when it was established it was
said it would yield $l5,000,0OO There is only
one vessel loading for Europe at Vera Cruz.
1t is stated rs an incontrovertible fact that MIR.
Trist is authorized TO pay down the 5000. 900
appropriation, in cash, upon the ratification by the
Government of Mexico Of the treaty he took with
him. without waiting for the action of the Senate of
the United States. 1t is now reported that Mr.
lrlst will be recalled and citizen of higher grade
Will be appointed to fill his place. Perhaps Lieut.
General Benton will be the man.
