The report recently current in New York that through

three months instead Of two years, as originally

DIR. Richardson's BlTTERs,-In our col
umns may be found an advertisement of
Sherry Wine Bitters, prepared by S, o
Richardson, Of South Reading, Mass. They
are, as said to be, undoubtedly composed of
a variety of valuable and purely vegetable
matter, and from our own experience, as well
as others, we can speak highly oftheir reno
waiting and invigorating effects upon the
system. We have a good opinion of the Bit
tiers, as they are not a quack nostrum, but
discovered, prepared and vcnded by a regu-
lar physician, a graduate Of the college of
our own State, and who has said but little in
the way of putting them himself, but leaves
it to those who try them to judge themselves
For the diseases that many are liable to in
the Spring, aud Summer, such as Debility,
Dyspepsia, Bilious and Nervous complaints,
We do not hesitate to say these Bitters will
be found q safe, agreeable and e%lectual re-
storative. AS good health is one of the
greatest of earthly blessings, We would early
advise those laboring under such disease, to
make a trial of DR.. Richardson's Bittcrs;
they can do no harm, and may domuchgood,
as we are confident in many cases they have.
Vegetables and vegetable substances are I'M
questionably the most congonial to the hu-
man system.
