TESTIMONY FROM NORTH

Certificate of DR.. w. Smith, Of Pine Hin, Rich
niond County North Carotsna.
PINE HILL March 4, 1854
DEAR Sir: have been subject of Dyspepsia, in
its worst FORM for the last five years. Suchwas 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 a week at Ruthertordton,
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 the storc and of them
seemed to take some interest in my case, and after
asking me some questions, said he had been q dys-
pepc, and had been greatly benefited by the use OF
he insisted that would try the Btters. He also
that Iwoud try them that asked him to get me
one bottle He did it and commenced taking 1t as
directed, and benefited by it than oil the
water and medicine I had ever taken.
After reaching home, one OF my neighbors came to
me for prescription and medicine, (he dyspephc,)
and gave him nearly all the Biters 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 hs
TAKEN but have not been able to get any moro for
him or myself since Will you, therefore, please ship
me a dozen or more as soon as possible
Respectfully, yours, w. SMITH.
