The SEEPTICAL CONVINCED Every
advance in medicine every new remedy,
has encountered an opposition, which is
the test of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved their
discoveries against opposition. But men
are observing, and benefits always make
believers. No incrcdulity can stand the
silent argument of good results, When
DR.. Walker proclaimed that he had pro
duced from the medicinal herbs of Cali
fornia an Elixir that would regenerate
the sinking system and cure diseases not
organic, The increiulous shook their
heads. Yet his VINEGAR BITTERs is now
the Standard Restorative of the Western
World. The truth could not be resisted,
Under the operation of the new remedy,
Dyspeptics regained their health, appetite
and strength the Bilious and Constipatcd
were relieved of every distressing symp-
tom, the Consumptive and Rheumatic
rapidly recovered; Intermittent and Re
mittent FeYers were broken up, the faint
of Scrofula was eradiCated! Who conld
gainsav facts like these? Not even the
Faculty. Skepticism was routed, All
doubts as to the claims of the Bitters to
the first place in the first rank of modern
medicines were silenced, and this wonder.
full preparation Is to-day the most popular
Tonic, Alternative, and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America. In common
with other journalists, we are free to add
our testimony to this remedy. II is a
domestic medicine, and no household
should be without it.
