From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of the
Encyclopedia of Religious knowledge and Chris
tian Chronicle, Philadelphia.
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.
do this the more readily in regard to HoOfands
German Bitters, prepared by DIR. G. NJ. jackson,
of this city, because / was prejudced against them
for many years. under the impression that they
were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. | am indebted
to my friend. Robert Shoemaker, Esq, for the re-
moval of this prejudice by proper tests and for
cOuragemeut 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
vigor which had not felt for six months before,
and had almost despaired of regaining. | there
fore thank God and my friend for directing me to
the use of them. j. NEWTON BROWN.

Some eighteen months since was n severe suf-
ferer from Dyspepsia. | was not only unable to
take plain food without suffering great distress
but had become so debilitated as to be almost un-
fitted for active business of any kind.
After trying variety of sO-called remedies all
of which proved worthless, was induced, at the
suggestion of medical friend. TO give HOOfland's
German Bitters a trial. | accordingly purchased
six bottles, which were taken in accordance with
your directions.
The result was complete removal Of all distress
ing symptoms, after eating OF 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 a large and
arduous business well as at any period of my
life. The good effects of the Bitters were mani
tested before had taken the first bottle.
| have also used it / n 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 of a 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

your bitters trial when it, feel confident will
give them relief, it il at your service.
