TESTIMONY FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
Certificate Of DR.. w. Smith, Of Pine Hill, RicI-
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-
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 Ruthertordton,
small village in North Carolina, to try the effect OF
some Chalybeate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get med
icne for my child and myself. There were several
of the village physicians in the store and one of them
seemed to take interest in my case and, after
asking me some questions, said he had been dys-
peptc, and had been greaty>benefted by the use Of
Hoofand's German Btters," prepared by yeu, 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 it. and commenced taking it as
directed and was benefited by il than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one of my neghbors came TO
me for prescription and medicine, Che 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 same 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 more as soon as possible.
n Respectfully, y9 ph;l.ae,rh;. W. SMITH

Tom is queer genius, and lets on some tall ones
occasionally He visited Us the other day, in our
sanctum, with
"How do you do, old fellowsn
" Halo, Tom" said We, " where have you been
SO long?"
"Why, sir, pve-been down on Severn river in
Anne Arundle county, taking Shanghai notes OH
the chills and fever
"Ah, indeed" said we, arc they very bad
down there"
Rather bad !" said Tom, drily. "There is one
place where they have been attempting to build u
brick house for eight weeks--well, the other day
as the hands were putting up the bricks, prepare
tory to finishing it, they were taken with chill
and shook the whole building completely down,
and kept on shaking till the bricks were dust OF
the finest quality Just at that juncture, the
chills came on with renewed force, and they
commenced shaking with such gusto, that they
were entirely obscured for hours, and the people
in the neighborhood thought the sun was in an
eclipse
''Gasi" said we.
mot at ALL !" said Tom.
"Why, / was sixteen miles further down the
river the other day, and saw four men carrying a
big pine log from board schooner to the shore.
The chils came on, and they shook the log which
thirty feet long, all up in pieces of the proper
length for fre-wood, and then taking reshake of
it, split and piled up, at the same time shaking all
the knots out of It'll"
Can't believe anything like that, Tom"
It's fact" said Tom, and he resumed
There's farmer down there, who in an apple
picking season, hauls his niggers out to the or
chard, and sets one up against each tree. In a
short time the chill comes on, and every apple
in the orchard is shaken off the trees on to the
ground"
Incredible" said We, holding our sides with
both hands.
"Fact," said Tom, they keep man alongside
of each negro to take him away as soon as the
fruit is off for fear that he will shake the tree down.
Tom continued--"Mr. S., a friend of mine,
and house carpenter, was engaged few days
ago in covering the roof of house with shingles.
just as he was finishing the chill came on and
he shook every shinge off the roof Some of them
are supposed to be flying about yeti"
Another gentleman, near the same place, was
taken with chill the other day at dinner and
shook his knife and fork down his throat, besides
breaking all the crockery ware on the table. His
little son who was sitting at the table, at the same
time, was taken with q chill and shook all the but
tons of his inexpressibles and then shook himself
clear Of them !"
We then prevailed upon Tom to desst, who did
so, with the understanding that he was to give us
the balance at some other time.
Persons who think of emgrating to Anne Arun-
die county, will please take notice.
