From Rev w D. Seigfried, Pastor Twelfth Bap-

Gentlemen: | have recently been laboring un-
der the distressing effects of indigestion, accom-
panied by prostration Of the nervous system.
Numerous remedies were recommended by friends.
and some of them tested, but without relief. Your
Hoofands German Bitters were recommended by
persons who had tried them. and whose favorable
mention of these Bitters induced me to try them.
Medicines from the thousand and one" quaek
"Bitters," whose only aim seems to be to palm
off sweetened and drugged liquor upon the COM
munity in a sly way, and the tendency of which.
/ fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard.
Upon learning that yours was really medicinal
preparation took it with happy effect. Its action
not only upon the stomach but upon the nervous
have derived great and permanent benefit from
the use of few bottles Very respectfully, yours.
