From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor
of the Encyclopedias of Religious knowledge
and Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia.
Although not disposed to favor or recon-
mend Patent Medicines in general, through
distrust of their ingredients and effects: L
yet know of no sufficient reasons whyia mai
may not testify TO the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple
preparation, in the hope that he may thus
contribute to the benefit of others
LIDO this most re Oily in regard to Hoof-
and's German Bilters, prepared by DR.. c,
M. Jackson, of this city, because l was pre-
iudiced against them for many years, under
the impression that they were chiefly an al
coholic mixtEre. 1 am indebted to my friend,
Robert Shoemal er, Esq, for the removal of
this prejudic e by proper tests, and for en-
~couragement to try them, when suffering
from great and long continued debility. The
use of three ! ottlessof these Bitters, at the
beginning of the present year, was followed
by cviGent relief and restoration to a degree
Of bodily and mental vigor which had not
felt for six months before, and had almost
despaired of regaining. 1 there fore thank
God and my friend for directing me to the
use of them.
