Induced by the extensive sale and universe
popularity of Hoofland's German Bitters, (pure-
ly vegetablc,) hosts of ignorant Quacks, and
unscrupulous adventureIs, havo opened upon
suffering humanity the food gates of Nostrums
in the shape of poor whiskey, vilely compoun
ded with injurious drugs, and Chrstened Ton
les, Stoma chics and Bitters.
Beware of the innumerable array of Alcho-
holic preparations in plethoric bottles and big
bellied kegs, under the modest appellation OF
Bitters which instead Of curing, only agra
vate disease, and leave the disappointed suffer
er in despair.
HooFLAND's GERMAN BITTERS! arc
not a now and untried article, but have stood
tie test of fifteen years trial by the American
public and their reputation and sale, are not
rivalled by any similar preparation.
Tie proprietors have thousands of Letters
from the most eminent Clergymen, Lawyers,
Physicians, and Citizens, testifying OF their
own personal knowledge, to the beneficial ef-
fects and medical virtues Of these Bitters.
Do you want something to strengthen you ?
