DEAR SIR: have been subject of Dyspepsia in
its worst FORM Dr 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 Rutherfordton,
small village in North Carolina, to try the effect OF
some Chaybcat water in that place. Aboutthe 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 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
"HooHand's German Bittcrs, prepared by yeu, 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
directed and was more benefited by it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one of my neighbors came 10
me for prescription and medicine, Che dyspeptc,
and gave him nearly all the Btters had left which
effected much good in his 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 beef able to get any more for
him or myself since VIII you therefore, peases ship
me a dozen or more as soon as possible. 80
