properties In several instances In my own family b
deem il a duty owe to my friends and the public
to inform them of it in this manner.
My son was long time afflicted with the Liver
Complaint and debility Of the system, for which
he had the services Of several physicians without
avail. Finally procured bottle Of the Bitters,
and through their use he was entirely restored e.
health. My daughter some time after exhibiting
symptoms of the same disease we again resortod 70
the Bitters. would state, by the way, that she
had for long time been suffering from Neuralgia
and her breath was very o1ensiyei she also
became so extremely weak that she was unLble 60
leave her bed. After commencing the use Of the
Bitters she improved rapidly and IN one week was
able 60 pay visit 70 her friends at Chestnut Hilli
and soon became entirely restored % health. MY
wife also uses the Bitters, and thinks there is no
medicine like them. Whenever she feels weak or
nervous and her stomach appears out OF order, she
takes one or two doses, which Immediately Restores
her. ..

upwards of thirty-tve years, and that he tried In
vain every remedy prescribed within the whole

aYailed themselves of the pitch darkness of
