From The Boston Bee


The editor said, Dec. 22nd-Dr H0ofdnd's
celebrated German Bitters for the cure o ( Lii
ger complaint. jsundice, dyspepsia, chronic
or nervous debility, is deservedly one of the
most popular medicines Of the day. These
BItters have been used by thousands, and
friend at our elbow says he has himself re-
ceIved an effectual and permanent cure of
Liver complaint from the use Of this remedy.
We are convinced that, in the use Of these
Bitiers. the patient constantly gains strength
and yigor--a fact worthy OF great Considera-
ton. They are pleasant in taste and smell
and can be used by persons with the most
delicate s.omachs with safety, under any cir
cumstanceS. We are speaking from expert
ence, and TO the afflicted we advise their use
'SCoTr's WEEKLY,' one Of the best Liter
ary papers published, said, Aug. 25-
DR.. Hoofand's German BitterS, manufac-
tured by DR.. Jackson, are now recommended
bv some Of the most prominent members of
he faculty as an article of much efficacy IN
cases Of female weakness. As such is the
case. we would advise all mothers TO obtain
a bottle, and thus save themselves much sick
ness. Persons of debilitaied constitutions
will find these Bluers advantageous TO their
health, as we know from experience the sal
utary effect they have upon week systems.

More Evidence.

The Hon. G.. ID. Hineline, Mayor Of the
City of Camden, y. J., says:
'Hoofands German Bliters.-We have
seen many fattering notices ofthis medicine,
and the source from which they came induced
us to make inquiry respecting It's merits.-
From inquiry we were persuaded 10 use II,
and must say we found !, specific in It's ac-
ton npon disease of the liver and digestive
organs, and the powerful influence it exerts
upon nervous prostraliOn is really surprising.
1t calms and strengthens the nerves, bring
ing them into state Of repOse, making sleep
refreshing.
"lf this medidine was more generally used
we are satisfied there would be less sick
ness, as from the stomach, liver, and nervous
system the great majority of real and mag-
nary diseases emanate. Have them IN
healthy condition, and you can bid defiance
to epdemics generally. This extraordinary
medicine we would advise our friends who
are al all indisposed to give a tIal-it will
recommend itself 1t should, in fact, be IN
every family. No other medicine can pro-
duCe such evidences of merit"
Evidence upon evidence has been receiv-
ed Qike the iOregoing) from all sections OF
the Union, the last three years, and the strong
est testimony in its favor, is, that there is
more Of il used in the practice the reguluE
Physicians of Pbiadel phia, than all otheE
nostrumS combined. fact that can easily be
established, and fully proving that a scien-
tilic preparation will meet with their quiet
approval when presented even in this form.
That this medicine will cure Liver Com
plant and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt after
using it as directed. 1t acts specifically up
on the stomach and liver; it is preferable 10
