many years, under the impression that thew were
chiefly an alcoholic mixture. l am indebted to my
friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq, for the removal Of
this prejudice by proper tests and for encsuragemen
to try them, when suffering from great and long con

Bitters, at the beginning of the Or sent year was
