father, Mother, ano Three sisters bead
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and nov
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j, makes the following startling
statement: any father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs we're 30 weak raised blood. Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship-
smithing was very straining on NE with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
TO the grave. While in this condition !
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters
and it saved my life. Because 1t Was 20
difficult to get it in this little place, and ]
had improved so much, i stopped taking il
for Q time, and the result is that / have
commenced going rapidly down hill again
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
a. nothing else does, and i must have 1
dozen bottles at once Use this commu-
nication rs you please, and If any one wants
to be convinced Of its truth, let them write
me and l will make affidavit to il, for
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
Thesecret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhGa, dyspepsia, Indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by a regular
physician; standard medicinal prepara-
lion; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
Of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price 81. 90
