all who saw me said must die. While in this con-
dition, was carried to the watering places in Vr
ginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but was not
benefited by any water TO which WAS taken. While
on my way home, stoppeda week at Rutherfordton,
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 some med
icine for my child and myself There were several
Of the village physicians in the store and one of them
seemed to take some interest in my case and, after
asking me some questions, said he had been dys-
peptic and had been greatly benefited by the use Of
aHooAand's German Bitters," prepared by ysu, and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my room and insisted much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle He did ii, and commenced taking ii as
directed and was more benefited by it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one ct my neighbors came 70
me for prescription and medicine, The dyspeptic)
and gave him nearly all the Bitters had left which
effected much good in his case. He has often called
on me for more Of the r.Ie kind Of medicine saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken but have not been able to get any more for
him or myself since Will you, therefore, please ship
me dozen or more as soon as possible
