TIONS DEVELOPED.
Cursed with that vague and indefinite
something, called malaria, and living in
Lancaster, Pa, the birthplace Of Mishler's
Herb Bitters, Mr. Walter Kieffer, of the
Datly New Era, resolved to investigate its
curative powers, of which he had heard so
much He writes as follows: "Calling on
James II. Marshall, Esq, at present and for
twelve years past, postmaster of the city,
asked, What do you know about Mishler's
Herb Bitters9' I know was the answer,
that ii is the most palatable bitters have
ever taken, and as tonic 1t has no equal"
That was encouraging, and the next per-
son met was VIM. A. Morton, Esq, OF the
Lancaster Intslligencer. I addressed the
same inquiry to him, and quick as flash
came the answer, have used Mishler's
Herb Bitters off and on for ten years, and
have found it of great benefit. On one oc-
casion, suffering from severe prostration, il
was the only thing to give me relief"
Stepping into the office of Hon. d. P.
Rosenmiller, Mayor Of Lancaster, re-
peated my query. at is the best tonic l
have ever known, and regard 1t as an in,
fallible cure for malaria" smilingly an.
swered his Honor.
"Mr. Steinheiser, what do you think of
Mishler's Herb Bitters =" 1 asked, address
ing Mr.. j. o. Steinheiser, now United
States Mail Agent and for eight years Su-
perintendent of the Lancaster County Hos.
pital and Insane Asylum. "Never had
medicine in the Hospital that acted so
charmingly, and for chronic diseases it
never fails to give relief"
"Mr. Long," addressing member of the
firm of John F. Longs Sons drug house,
the oldest drug house in the State, If not in
America, What has been your experience
with Mishler's Herb Bitters." We han
die great deal of it, and the demand is
constantly on the increase. l regard it as
being, medicinely, the best bitters in the
market People who buy it once invaria-
bly, call for it again"
The next place visited was John r.
Kauffman's drug store. "HOw's the Mish-
lers Herb Bitters market, Mr.. Kaufman 2"
" 1t never was better We sell great deal
of it in the city, but the bulk of our trade
is from the rural districts-among old far.
mers who need tonic, and among those
living in malarial regions. One old gentle
man from the country has been coming for
eight years, and as we know about how
long bottle will last him We know just
when to expect him. tits great bitters."
II. b. Cochran, another prominent drug
gist, was the next person approached.
7What has been your experience with
Mishler's Herb Bitters, Mr.. Cochran"
" For steady sale it has no equal. 1t is
chemically pure and medicinely strong.
Lately the demand for the Red Label brand
that intended particularly for ladies-has
greatly increased, and / know of nothing
more popular or more effective for the
weaknesses peculiar to the female SEX"
Meeting Rev. j. G. Fritchie, an octogen-
arian minister of the Gospel on the street,
engaged him in conversation, and re-
marking on his great age and seeming good
health, he said, to my surprise, " owe 1t
all to Mishler's Herb Bitters it is the best
friend l have, sustaining me in all mo-
ments of physical weakness, and If any one
desires my testimony you are at liberty to
give them my name. Let them address
me, and I'll tell them all about it."
But why multiply this home testimony ?
Address whom ! might-preachers, law
yers, bankers, druggists, merchants
who had any knowledge of the bitters, and
the testimony was overwhelmingly in its
favor. Suffice to say that, although skep
tic on the subject of curing malaria, be-
came convinced that there was one prepare
ton, and one only, that would cure it, and
its name is Mishler's Herb Bitters.
