"REMEMBER THE TEAPOT ~

MFRS. SMITH set her TEAPOT ON the
IvR range to draw the tea, little dreaming it
Wouldn't stand the fire" till she saw it run. She
screamed as it disappeared, and fell back in convu-

would restore her. At last, her husband said he
would call at FRANClS'S, on Seventh Street and
buy her one of his Fre-proot TeaPots, when she
observed to smile. In the morning, after starting
away, Mr.. Smith looked back, and saw her standing

PINE HILL, March 4, 1854
DEAR SIR: have been subject of Dyspepsia, in
its worst FORM for the last five years. Such was my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said must die. While in this con-
dition was carried to the watering places in Vir-
ginia Tennessee, and North Carolina but was not
benefited by any water to which was taken. While
on my way home, / stopped week at Ruthertordton,
a small village in North Carolina, to try the effect of
some Chaybeate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get med
icne for my child and myself There were several
of the village physicians in the store and of them
seemed to take some interest in my case, and after
asking me some questions said he had been dys-
psptic and had been greatly benefited by the of
"Hoofand's German Bitters prepared by you, and
he insisted that would try the Bitters He also
called the next day at my room and insisted so much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle. He did it. and commenced taking it as
directed and was benefited by it than ell the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one Of my neighbors came to
me for prescription and medicine Che dyspeptic,)
and gave him nearly all the Btters Ihad left which
effected much good in his He has often called
on me for more Of the s-.e kind of medicine saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken, but have not been able to get any for
him or myself since. Will you therefore, please ship
me dozen or more as soon as possible.
Respectfully, yours, W. SMITH.

any use Of this communication, for the be et OF the
