PREPARED By DIR. G. M IA CESON
PHILADELPHIA, PA.
Thirty-fve years since they were first intro
dnced into this country from Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cures, and benefited suffering humanity to
greater extent than any other remedies known
to the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver Com
plaint Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Chronic or Nervous
Debility, Chronic Diarrhoea, Diseases of the Kid
neys, and all Diseases arising from disordered
Liver Stomach or Intestnes.
DEBILITY.
Resulting from any cause whatever; prostra-
ton of the system, induced by severe labor, hard
ships, exposure, fevers &C.
There is no medicine extant equal to these rem
edies in such cases. A tone and vigor is impart-
ed to the whole system, the appetite is strength
ened, food is enjoyed, the stomach digests pro-
perly, the blood is purified, the complexion be-
comes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is
eradicated from the eyes, bloom is given to the
cheeks, and the weak and nervous invalid be-
comes a strong and healthy being,
Persons advanced in life and feeling the hand of
time weighing heavily upon them, with all its
attendant ills, will find in the use of this Bitters
on the Tonic, an elixir that will instll new life
into their veins, restore in measure the energy
and ardor of more youthful days, build up their
shrnnken forms, and give health and happiness
to their remaining years y.
NOTICE.
Itisa well established fact that fully one-half OF
the female portion of our population are seldom
in the enjoyment of good health, or, to use their
own expression, 'r,never feel we'll" They are
languid, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous,
and have no appetite.
To this class of persons the Bitters, or the
Tonic is especially recommended.
