Robnck-s Stomach Enters.

Sometime-agos-Dr~Robackre -Gincin-
natl, through his agent in this place, J. A.
Maxwell, Esq, placed in ourhands a bottle
of his Stomach Bitters, designed for dys-
pepsia, to give tol.e to the stomach, us a
preventive against the bilious complaints
incident to the Western country and, up
on using it. we regard it rs second to none
in America or abroad. To lie able to state
confidently that the Bitters arc a certain
cure for dyspepsia and like diseases, is
to the proprietor Il source of ~unalloyed
pleasure. 1t removes all morbid matter
from the stomach, purifies the blood, inn
parts renewed vitality to the nervous sys-
tenn, giving it that tone and energy so indis-
pepsable for the resoration of health. The
numerous acknowledgements of its superior
excellence and beneficent results, have as
stlred the proprietor that it can not but
prove a great cure to the afflicted, and inn
part vitality to the through SYSTEM. We
advise those who Use bittcrs, to Use none
but Roback's, which can be obtained at J.
A. Maxweli's Drug Store, in Upper San
Iusky.

DIR. RObacIS's Bitfers.

From the Cir. Free Nation, Dec. u, 1861, !
By reference to DIR. Roback's advertise
mept, on third page, it will be seen that
the Doctor has just introduced a new ar
ticle in the line of Stomach Bitters."
These BitterS are destined to become very
popular, from the fact that they are genuine
in every sense of the term that is, they
derive their stimulus from the powerful
tonic nature of the roots and herbs of which
they are composed, and hence their effect is
natural. We have had the pleasure of test
ing the qualifications of these B~itters, and
do not hesitate to pronounce them the zone
