Their power over the above diseases is not exceled,
if equally by any other preparation in the United
States, as the cures attest in many cases. after sfl
physicians had failed.
These bitters worthy the attention of invalids
Possessing great virtues in the rectcation of diseases
of the Liver and lesser glands exercising the most
searching powers in weakness and affections of the
digestive organs, they are witha safe, certain and
pleasant.
Testimony of the highest character! HON. GEO.
STROOP, Judge of the District Court in Perry Co,
Pa. November 18th, 1852 said: "Your Hoofands
German Bitters has been in use in our place over
year past and to the astonshment of many has per-
formed wonders. We may notice few instances that
have come under our own immediate notice almost
every person who has stopped at the hotel Of VIM.
Lackey, one year since predicted from his emaciated
countenance and debility, that he could not live
much longer. He was unable to attend to his bust
ness and for the greater part of his time confined to
his ROOM We recommended him to try the German
Bitters which he did, and to the surprise of all his
friends and acquantances, he is now able to attend
to his usual business and perform manual labor. The
case of Henry Asper, stone mason, whom no one
supposed would recover from the debility Of his
system, but was looked upon as fast approaching the
grave, took eight nine bottles Of these Bitters du
ring the last winter and this summer he has been Ito
the surprise of all who knew his case following his
| trade. The case of William Murphy Is no less as
tonishiDg He too, was so far reduced IS to induce
| general belief that the grave alone would be his
only remedy. MIR. Lackey recommended him to try
the Hoohand German Bitters he is now apparently
la well man, and able to do hard days work We
could mention many other cases Of similar charac-
ter Of it were necessary. ], myself derived much,
very much benefit from their use I have given con.
siderable of it away, not for your benefit alone but
to relieve suffering humanity, and let me assure YOU
am pleased TO see the happy result To the afflicted
we say, try them fairly and viii warrant relief"
These Bitters are worthy the attention of nvalids
possessing great power in the restoration of healthy
action of the Liver and the lesser glands giving ton.
to the stomach and nervous system and bringing tht
system generally to high state of health
For sale by respectable dealers IN medicine every
where.
4 These Bitters are ENTIRELY VEGETABLE, they invi
gorate and strengthen the SYSTEM never PROSTATE
