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 dieN While in this con-
dition was carried to the watering places In Vir-
pinia, 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 Chalybcate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store ~ 2some med
icine for my child and myself Thefew We're several
of the village physicians in the store and one 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
aHoohand's German Bitters, prepared by yeu, and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day ut my room and insisted so 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 it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one Of my neighbors came to
me for prescription and medicine (he dyspeptic)
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 r-.e 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.
