| AND WHAT THE INQUIRIES AND INNEsTl9A-
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
Daily Nep 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, l
asked, What do you know about Mishlers
Herb Bitters?' Il know was the answer,
that it IS the most pslatable 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 InteHigencer. I addressed the
same inquiry to him, and quick as flash
came the answer, II have used Mishler's
Herb Bitters off and on for ten years, and
have found it of great benefit. On one oc-
casiun, suffering from severe prostration, it
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
fallble cure for mslaria," smilingly an
swered his Honor. fs
"Mr. Steinheiser, what do you think of
Mishler's Herb Bitters?" l asked, address
ing Mr.. j. 0. Steinheiser, now United
States Mail Agent, and for eight years Su-
perintendent of the Lancaster County Hos
pital and Insane Asylum. "Never had a
medicine in the Hospital that acted so
charmingly, and for chronic diseases 1t
never fails to give relief"
npr od1ra a n, ON hQr IF thp
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," 1--WE han
die great deal of it, and the demand is
constantly on the increase. | regard 1t as
being, medicinely, the best bitters in the
market. People who buy 1t once invaria-
bly, call for it again"
The next place visited was John r.
Kauffman's drug store. How's the Mish-
ler's 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 a bottle will last him We know just
when to expect him. 1t lis great bitters."
H. B. Cochran, another prominent drug
gist, was the next person approached.
SWhat 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,
l engaged him in conversation, and re-
marking on his great age and seeming good
health, he said, to my surprise, i owe 1t
all to Mishlers 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 III tell them all about it,"
But why multiply this home testimony?
Address whom | might-preachers, law
yers, bankers, druggists, merchauts,-all
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 prepara-
ton, and one only, that would cure it, and
its name is Mishlers Herb Bitters
