They have been used already with the greatest
success, in many obstinate cases of impurity of the
blood, nervous irritation, Dyspepsia, low spirits,
Scrofula, palpitation of the heart, chronic head
ache and Rheumatism. They are indeed a happy
combination of powerful, yet safe and salutary
vegetable remedies, of a sterling and unimpeach
able reputation. They have won their popularity
I solely by their intrinsic merits, and that they havu
i been successful, numerous certifica.es in the

sales fully attest. Those desirous of an agreeable

ANOTHER WONDEHFLFL CUBE'
PHTi.AnEt.PHiA, April 9, 1846.
Last August a year, I caught a violent cold, in
consequence of getting wet in a shower of rain.
A circumstance so common gave me no immediate
concern, supposing that I should soon get rid of ii. |
On the contrary, however, I daily grew worse; a
violent cough set in, then pain in my breast and
between my shoulders. I now suffered great op
pression from the great secretion of purulent mat
ter in my lungs. J became greatly alarmed ; and
my friends considered my situation extremely
critical, the more so as loss of appetite, hectic
fever, and night sweats rendered me as weak as
a child, and at night the sweat literally poured off
me ! I his was my condition when 1 commenced
using " Thomson's Compound Syrup of Tar and
Wood Naphtha." I procured one bottle, and ex
perienced so much benefit that I resolved to con
tinue it. It is now six mouthy since I ceased using
the medicine, and the cure remains perfect, l
firmly believe this medicine is far superior to
every other remedy for Consumption of the Lungs.

COLLETON BITTEHS
THESE Bitteis are purely a rentable *>m
pound, and are ottered to ihe poWic from
principle of benevolence, under the fulled convic
tion that they will be found a safe and sovereign
emedy for Df/spepnia. They have been mum
iliantly tested, not only by some of the m.wi re
? peel able families and physicians in the Hiate of
South Carolina, who have furnished ample testi
?nony a? to their decided excellence, but also by the
proprietor, who, for ten years, suffered all the gloom
lucident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by con
tinned use. They contain not a single deleterious
ingredient, and, as seen from tbe directions which
accompany each bottle, may I* given with entire
safety 10 an infant in the month.
With pleasure, and fur ihP benefit of mankind, 1
send you a certificate relative to the Colleton Bit
ters. .
hi the year 1838, when the cholera was in
Charleston, S. C., I was compelled to send a servant
to die city. On his return, he was suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels, so modi io
us to cause apprehension thnt he would expire in u
whort lime, if medical aid could not be procured. I
immediately resorted to the Colleton Bitters, by giv
ing a wine glass full at a dose. In the course ot a
very short lime it acted ns an emetic, and throwing
him at Ihe same time into a profuse perflation. I
then continued to give it in small doses, from two to
three lea spoonsfiill, which rps\ilu;d in a happy re
covery. Since then I have heen using it constantly
in my family, in cases of cholera morbus, cholera
infantum, diarrhma and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Home
constitutions, however, require much larger doses I
than others. JOS. D. JENKINS.
Bh'ffton, S. G., 1846.
It is with feelings of gratitude as well as pleasure
that I take this method of giving my testimony ot
the great estimation which I entertain for your in
valuable compound. In justice not only to the mt
dicine, but for the benefit of others who may be auf?
fering from ihe same malady, Dyspepsia, with which
I was for years afflicted, 1 feel it a duty incumbent
on me to state that I am now restored to jierfect
health. When I commenced taking the Colleton
Biiters it was as a last resort. My debility from in
digestion was to great that a cure was looked upon
as almost hopeless. After taking it regularly and
pefeeveringly for some time, my strength and di
gestive powers were entirely restored. 1 have never
taken a single dose of any other medicine for more
than five years past. I can now eat the rjchost food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. I have
also used Colleton Bitters freely in my family for
cholera infantum, cholera morbus, general debility,
and as a tonic after fever, with great success. As a
family medicine I deem it invaluable, and do con
scientiously recommend it.
