Some eighteen months since was a severe suf-
ferer from Dyspepsia. l was not only unable to
take plain food without suffering great distress,
but had become SO debilitated as to be almost I'M
fitted for active business of any kind.
After trying a variety of so-called remedies, all
of which proved worthless, was induced at the
suggestion of medical friend, to give Hoofland's
German Bitters \ trial L accordingly purchased
six bottles, which were taken in accordance with
your directions. 4EE
The result was complete removal of all distress
ing symptoms, after eating or drinking and full
restoration of strength, so that now eat all or:
binary kinds of food with impunity, and am able
to attend to all the active duties of large and
arduous business as well as at any period of my
life. The good effects of the Btters were mani
tested before had taken the first bottle.
have also used it in my family with the hap
piest results and take great pleasure in adding
my testimony to that of the many others who have
been benefited by them. find great benefit from
the use of bottle in the spring and fall They
do not create vigorous appetite. but give healthy
tone to the stomach by Strengthening its di-
gestive powers.
If the above testimony will be the means of in
ducng any who suffer from dyspepsia to give
your bitters trial when it, feel confident will
give them relief, it is at your service.

From Rev. w. d. Segfried, Pastor Twelfth Bap

Gentlemen: / have recently been laboring I'M
der the distressing effects of Indigestion, accom-
panied by a prostration of the nervous system.
Numerous remedies were recommended by friends.
and some of them tested, but without relief. Your
Hoofand's German Bitters were recommended by
persons who had tried them, and whose favorable
mention of these Btters induced me to try them.
Medicines from the thousand and one" quack
Bitters," whose only aim seems to be TO palm
eff sweetened and drugged liquor upon the com
fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard.
Upon learning that yours really medicinal
preparation took it with happy effect. Its action

have derived great and permanent benefit from
the use of few bottles. Very respectfully, yours,

Although not disposed TO favor or recommend
Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of
their ingredients and effects yet know of no suf-
fcient reason why a man 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.

for many years, under the impression that they
were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. l am indebted
to my friend. Robert Shoemaker Esq, for the
moval of this prejudice by proper tests and for en-
enlargement to try them when suffering from
great and long continued debility. The use of
three bottles of these Bitters Mt the beginning of
the present year, was followed by evident relief
and restoration to degree of bodily .and mental
vgor which had not felt for six months before.
