COLLETON BITTERS.
THESE Bitters are purely a vegetable com
pound, and are offered to the public from
principle of benevolence, under the fullest convic
tion that they will be found a safe and sovereign
?emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been tnum
ihantly tested^ not only by some of the most re
spectable families and physicians in the Slate of
touth Carolina, who have furnished ample testi
mony as to their decided excellence, but also by the
proprietor, who, for ten years, suffered all the gloom
ocident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by con
tinued use. They contain not a single deleterious
ingredient, and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an iulant in the month.
With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind, I
end you e certificate relative to the Colleton Bit
ters?
In the year 1838, when the cholera was in
Charleston, S. C., I wss compelled to send a servant
to the city. On his return, he was suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels, so much so
as to cause apprehension that he would expire in a
short time, if medical aid could not be procured. I
immediately resorted to the Colleton Bittern, by giv
ing a wine glioi full at a dose. In the course of a
very short time it acted as an emetie, and throwing
him at the same time into a profuse perspiration. I
then continued to give it in smsll doses, from two to
three tea spoonsfull, which resulted in a happy re
covery. Since then I have been using it constantly
in my family, in cases of cholera morbus, cholera
infantum, diarrhoea and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
U.u.oth^ JOS. D. JENKINS.
Bluffton, S. G., 1846.
It is with feelings of gratitude as well as pleasure
that I take this method of giving my testimony of
the great estimation which I entertain f ?r your in
valuable compound. In justice not only to the me
dicine, but for the benefit of others who may be suf
fering from the same malady, Dyspepsia, with which
I was for years afflicted, I feel it a duty incumbent
on me to state that I am now restored to perfect
health. When I commenced taking the Colleton
Bitters it was as a last resort. My debility from in
digestion was so great that a cure was looked upon
as almost hepeless. After taking it regularly and
perseveringly for some time,1'my strength and di
gestive powers were entirely restored. I have never
taken a single dose of any other medicine for more
than five years past. I can now eat the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. I have
also used Colleton Bitters freely in my family for
cholera infantum, cholera morbus, general debility,
and an a tonic after fever, with great success As a
family medicine I deem it invaluable, and do con
scientiously recommend it.

tion of the mysterious influence of Galvanism. I bey
are an important adjunct to the genuine Galvanic
Rings and their modifications, acting upon the same
principle,but having the advantage of more local ap
plication- They are confidently recomended a. a
valuable addition in the speedy cure of rheumatism,
acute or chronic; in all nervous complaints, and aa a
positive remedy in cases of pain and weakness m the
chest or back, pain in the side, in asthmatic affections,
and in weakness or oppression of the pulmonary or
gans. In spinal complaint, their effects are ol th
most decided character, and they have ofteni been
used with complete success. They are also of the
greatest advantage in pains and weakneas of the
breast, and are highly recommended for many of
thoee complaints to which female, are especially li
able. Aa an eff?ctual means for strengthening the
system when debilitated with disease ami. other cau
