TESTIMONY FROM NORTH CAROLINA.


Certificate Of DR.. w. Smith, of Pine Hill, Rich
mond County, North Carolina.
PINE HILL, March 4, 1854
DEAR Sir: have been subject of Dyspepsia, in
its worst FORM for the last FIVE years. Such my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said must die. While In this con
dton, was carried TO the watering places in Yir-
ginia, TenGessee, and North Carolina, but was not
benefited by any water to which was taken. While
on my way home, stopped week at Rutherfordton
small village in North Carolina to try the effect of
some Chalybtate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store TO get some med
cine for my child and myself There were severa
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-
peptic and had been greatly benefited by the Of
hHooAand's German Bitters," prepared by you, and
he insisted that would try the Btters He also
called the next day at my room, and insisted so much
that would try them that Esasked him to get me
one bottle. Heidi il, and commenced taking 1t as
directed, and was more benefited by it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one OF my neighbors came to
me for prescription and medicine Che dyspeptc, j
and gave him nearly all the Btters had left which
effected much good in his case He has often called
on me for more of the 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.
Respectfully, yours, w. SMITH.
