Nothing else does me any Good.

LANCASTER, G. H., s. c., May, 1906.
DR.. C. NJ. JACKSON. Dear Sr:-I have been
afflicted with Dyspepsia for number Of years, and
until three years since could find nothing which
would afford me relief. Fortunately for Inc, heard
of "Hoohand's German Bitters," and thought l
would try them, not, however, with much faith
that should be benefited by their use.
To my surprise, l found tnat, ON taking few
doses, l was relieved of the pain in my side and
chest, my appetite became good, gained strength,
and in fact felt stronger and in better health than
had for long time. l do not allow myself to
be out of the Bitters ii I can obtain them, for
nothing else does me any good. am willing at all
times and ready 10 state my case to any one who
may wish 10 know the full particulars, and shall
with pleasure recommend them to all who may be
afflicted with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint, fer l
believe if yhing will give them relief, they will
pe relieved by Hollands German Bitters! Many
persons in this district have used the Bitters with
beneficial results, and have no doubt you could
get a number of certificates, were you to ask for
them, fer to my certain knowledge quite number
have been very much benefited by the use of your
medicine.
almost forgot to mention that my daughter,
about six years of age, was cured Of Jaundice by
Hollands German bitters. 1 think best to men
tion this, AS have never known them used in any
other case Of the kind.
