We wish to call particular attention
to Seward & Bentley's Constitution
Bitters advertised in our paper this
week. Their BitterS are said to be
the finest tonic and most agreeable
stimulant for the weak and delicate,
ofany Bitters heretofOrein use. They
have been used i'm many localities
with the most gratifying results, and
are highly recommended by Pbysi-
clans for the preventive of Fevers,
Fever aud Ague, and all malarious
diseases. They create a healthy APP
petite, and strengthen the whole
system. We are glad to have them
introduced in this section, and hope
they will take the place of all the
poisonous compounds heretofore
palmed Off on the invalid as Bitters.
From what we have heard said OF
them by those who ought to know,
we are satisfied that fair trial will
convince all that they are as repre-
sented-a superior medicinal prepa-
ration.

PURCHASE ONLY THE BEsT.-In q
majority of advertised bitters i'm
portant ingredients, the necessity of
which are plainly indicated, are
omitted, because of their high prices;
in others, the proportions and COM
binations of the ingredients are in
defiance Of all settled principles of
pharmaceutical chemistry: others,
again, are mere shams, made up of
poor whisky slightly Uttered with
aloes and colored in such a manner
as to deceive the unWary, and are so
nauseating as to be unworthy of criti-
cism, and to the patient the remedy is
worse than the disease, while years
of experience and trial have proven
DR.. Roback's Stomach Bitters to be,
just rs recommended, one of the
best remedies extant where q
stomachic tonic and stimulant are
required. They never fail to strength
Ell the weak, impart vigor to the
strong, and are, in every particular,
just what a stomach bitters ought to
be. If you have symptoms of Dys-
pepsia, take them freely to aid diges-
ton. If you reside i'm bilious dis
tricts, they should be taken as a sure
prevention of Bilious Fever and
Ague, Liver Complaint, Jaundice,
and in all that class of diseases where
there is general depression of the
nervous system, loss of muscular en-
ergy, weakness, lassitude, want of
appetite, faintness, chilly sensations
and aching of the bones, &c. And,
as remedy for female weakness,
Leuchorrhea, or Whites, Roback's
Bitters have no equal. They are
prepared with special reference to
this complaint, and act like charm.
A few days trial will satisfy the
most sceptical of the real merits of
this really valuable medicine.
