CERTIFICATE OF WIN. ]. ATWOOD.

November /, 1855.
DEAR SIR: Allow me to express TO you my sincere
thanks for your discovery of medicine which, to say
the least Of it. has effected that all other med
icines that have taken have entirely failed TO do.
Hoofands German Bitters have cured me of the most
stubborn and aggravated of the Piles that per-
baps ever fell TO the lot of man. My case is not a
stranger in this community, as am well known in
this and the surrounding counties, and truly say
THAI my recovery has astounded all my friends and
relations, had tried everything recommended,
and nothing did me any good, until was prevailed
upon to try the Bitters You at liberty to make
any use Of this communication for the bei eft Of the
afflicted you may think proper.
Truly, yours WIN. j. ATWOOD.
DIR. c. M. JACKSON.
These Bitters are entirely vegetable. They inyig-
crate and strengthen the system, never PROSTATE it
and can be used for infants well as adults.
For sale by respectable dealers everywhere, and by
