best tonic and appetizer extant. During the asut
season Of 1866 could not keep sufficient stock
on hand to supply my customers. In tact your Bit
tiers were as staple as Qnipine. I learn thafaphykl

J.K. WATERPROOF, Esq, q magistrate OF Kerr

that he has used the bittere constantly In his own
family for the previous two years. He first tried the
preparation when suffering nom exhaustion produs-
ed by attack Of fever. Before the first bot
tie was finished he Oh perienced remarkable change
for the better. He had tried brandy at the outset
but found that did him more harm than good, In
one month from the time he commenced using the
Btters hts he nth, strength and appetite were re-
stored. He had recommended the article to others
in like circun stances, and never known it to FAIL
and had found it perfect specific for chills and fe
yer.
