~a.A SUPPORTING THE SOUTH q

k5f<a Apart from all political differences,
such as are now agitating the Country, the
South should support her own schools and col
leges her own manufactures, her own mechan-
les, and above all, her own medicinal prepare
tons when skillfully concocted, and for the rea-
son that Southern physicians, chemists and phar-
maceutists understand the diseases of the South
ern climate far better than scientific men of
different latitude possibly can, and should there
fore be the better prepared to prescribe reme-
dies. More than quarter of century ago, a
Physician of marked distinction in Virginia,
discovered, after great labor, and unfailing rem
edy for DYSPEPSIA, DIARRHGA, and 9TH
er diseases of the stomach and bowels, and after
testing its efficacy in hundreds of cases, with the
most complete success, determined to give it to
the world, under the name of BAKERS PRE-
MUM BITTERS. At his death the recipe
passed into the hands of the present proprietor
of quacks to supersede it, for truth is as impos-
sible to be soiled by any outward touch as the
sunbeam, it has been steadily working its way
into public favor, restoring the careworn and
emaciated Dyspeptic to health and yigor reju-
venating the premature old from indigestion,
strengthening the weak and enfeebled and dis
polling from hundreds of families the use of
those poisonous minerals, which, at one time,
were administered with deadly effect for every
malady North or South, East or West, these
Bitters have no equal as tonic, are entirely
harmless to all ages, and sexes and will prove
beneficial in every condition of life.
