moves at once dandruff from the scalp and all un-

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 was my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said / must die. While in this con-
dtion was carried to the watering places in Vir-
gnia, 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 try the effect of
some Chalyblatc water in that place About the last
of the week went into drug store to get med
cine 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-
peptc, and had been greatly benefited by the use of
Hollands German Btters, prepared by yeu, aud
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
directed and was more benefited by ii than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one OF my neighbors came TO
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 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 a dozen more as soon as possible.
Respectfully, yours, w. SMITH
