Hoofand's German Bitters,
AND
Hoohand's German Tonic
BYDR. c. JACKSON,

PREPARED By DIR. c. M IA CKSON,
PHILADELPHIA, PA.
Thirty-fve years since they were first intro
duced 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 DiarrhGa, Diseases of the Kid
neys and all Diseases arising from disordered
Liver Stomach or Intestines.
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
edes 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 strong and healthy being.
Persons advanced in life and feeling the hand o
time weighing heavily upon them, with all its
attendant ills, will find in the use of this Bitters
or the Tonic, elixir that will instill new lift
into their veins, restore in a measure the energy
and ardor of more youthful days, build up theii
shrunken forms, and give health and happiness
to their remaining years.
NOTICE.
Itisa well established fact that fully one-half @
the female portion of our population are seldom
in the enjoyment of good health, or, to use thei
own expression, 'rnever feel well.'' They ar
languid, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous
and have no appetite.
To this class of persons the Btters, or tn
Tonic is especially recommended.
WEAK AND DELICATE CHILDREN
Are made strong by the use of either of the.
remedies. They will cure every case of Mara

''The simplicity and accuracy of its mechanism
prevent its dropping Stitches to which many 9th
er machines are liable, and which has hitherto
brought the "chain stitch into disrepute. One
cannot but admire the beauty and accuracy of its
movements, and the entire absence of all noise,
even when running at the rate of 1000 stitches
and upward per minute. This alone must prove
great recommendation to it. Another merit is
the good workmanship. The parts are made in
terchangeable, SO that in the event OF accident to
the machine, any part can he replaced, at tri-
fling cost. 1t is, indeed, mechanical wonder

Hoohand's German Bitters.


Those who have no objection to the combina-
tion of the Bitters, as stated, will use
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
They are both equally good, and contain the
same medicinal viItues, the choice between the
two being mere matter of taste, the Tonic being
the most palatable.
The stomach, from variety of causes such as
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, etc. is
very apt to have its functions deranged. The
Liver sympathizing as closely as it does with the
| Stomach, then becomes affected, the result of
which is the patient suffers from several or more
of the following diseases:
| Constipation, Flatulenee, Inward Piles, Fulness
of Blood to the Head, Acidity of the Stonl-
ach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for
Food Fulness or Weight in the
| Stomach, Sour Eructations,
| . Sinking or Fluttering
at the Pit of the Stom-
ach, Swimming of
the Head, Hur-
ried or Difficult
Breathing, Fluttering
| at.the Heart, Choking or
Suffocating Sensations when in
aLying Posture, Dimness of Vision,
Dots or Webs before the Sight, Dull
Pain in the Head, Deficiency of Perspiration
Yellowness of the Skin and Eyes, Pain in tn
Side, Back, Chest Limbs ETC. Sudden Flushes
of Heat Burning in the Flesh, Con-
slant Imaginings of Evil, and
Great Depression of Spirits.
The sufferer from these diseases should exercis
the greatest caution in the selection of remed
for his case, purchasing only that which he is as
sured from his investigations and Inquiries, pos
sesses true merit, is skilfully compounded, is fire
from injurious ingredients, and has establishe
for itself reputation for the cure of these dsea
/ es. In this connection we would submit thos
