~ For DiseaseS which arise from the Stomach
and Bowels, BAKERS PREMIUM BITTERS are
peculiarly adapted, while in the incipient stages
of BILIOUSNESS, NERVOUSNESS, COUGHS and
COLDS, they are superior to all other remedies.
The fact that single bottle has cured ague and
fever of six months standing and relieved nervous
headache which had resisted all sorts of remedies
for years, are proof sufficient that they possess
healing virtues rarely found In medicinal prepa-
ratons. So simple and efectual are their opera
tions and vet certain are their beneficial results
that all who try them once ever sfter adopt them
as the great panacea for all Ills. ..u.
These BITTERS can be had Of all prominent
Druggists in Richmond and elsewhere In Virginia !;
also Of CANDY, GILPIN 4 CO., of Baltimore. For
