DR.. c. NJ. JACKSON, fhilad]Phia-Dear Sir: |
have been a subject OF Dyspepsia in its worst f rn
for the last five years Such was my condition for
twelve months that The physicians and all who
me said must die. While in this condition, was
carried TO the watering places in Virginia, Tennes
see and North Carolina, but wa, hot benefited by
any water to which was taken. While on my
way home, stopped a week at RutherfordtOn a
small village in North Carolina, Try the effect of
some Chaiybeate water in that Place. About the
last OF the week, went into drug store TO get
some medicine for my child and myself. There
several of the village physicians in the store,
and one OF them seemed to take some interest i'm INV
case, and, after asking me some questions, said he
had been dy yspepc, and had been greatly benc-
fitted y the use OF " Dr. IlJcf and's German Bit
ters," prepared by y:u, and he insisted that would
try tue Biitars He also called the next day at my
room, and insisted so much hat would try them
that asked nm 10 get me one bottle He did II,
and commenced taking il a. drcc;rd, and do say
was more benefited by it than all the water and
medicine had ever taken.
An reaching home one OF my nCighborS came to
me for prescription and medicine, (he a dyspep-
uc,) AMI gave him nearly ali tie BIters had left,
which effected much gOO1 in his case He has often
called On me for more Of the same nd of medi-
cine, saying he was more benefited by il than any
other lie had taken, but have been able to get
any more for him or myself since; will YOU, there
fore, please ship me d dozen soon as pos
sibe. Respectfully yours, w. SMITH.

press 10 you my sincere thanks for your discovery
of medicine which, to say the least OF il, has eff
fected cure that all other medicines, that have
taken, have entirely failed to do. 'HOofiand's Ger

and aggravated case of the PILES that perhaps, ever
fell To the lot OF man My case Is not stranger in
tGs community, as am well known in this and the
urrounding counties, and con truly that my re-
cOvery has astOunded all my friends and relations
as had tried everything recommended, and nothing
did me any good until was prevailed upon TO try
the Btters. You are NJ liberty to rake any use of
this communication, for the benefit of the afflicted
you may think proper. Truly yours,
