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 remi dies. of a sterling and unimpeach
able reputation. They have won their popularity
solely by their intrinsic merits, and that they have
been successful, numerous certificates in the
hands of the proprietor, and the greatly increasing
sales fully attest. Those desirous of an agreeable

seek no further, for in this preparation they wilj
find all that is desired.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE!
Philadelphia, April 9, 1846.
Last August a year, 1 caught a violent cold, in
consequence of getting wet iu a shower of rain.
A circumstance so common gave me uo immediate
concern, supposing that I should soon get rid of it.
On the contrary, however, I daily grew worse; a
violent cough set in, then pain in my breast and
between my shoulders. 1 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 tho sweat literally poured ofl
j me! This was my condition when 1 commenced
using " Thomson's Compound Syrup of Tar and
Wood Naphtha." 1 procured one bottle, and ex
perienced so much benefit that 1 resolved to con
tinue it. It is now six months since 1 ceased using
the medicine, and the cure remains perfect, j
firmly believe this medicine is far superior to
every other remedy for Consumption of the Lungs,

COLLETON BITTERS.
THESE Bitters are purely a vegetable com
pound, and aie offered to the public from
principle of bcnevolence, under the. lullest convic
tion that they will be found a safe and sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium
phantly tested^ not only by some of the most re
spectable families and physicians in the Slate of
South 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
incident to that ?tubborn 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 inlant in the month.
i With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind, I
send you a certificate relative to the Colleton Bit
ters.
In the year 1838, when the cholera was iu
Charleston, S. C., I was 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 iu a
| short time, 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 of a
very short time it acted as an Cmctic, and throwing
j him at the same time into a profuse perspftaiion. I
then continued to give it in small 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, ??? ?f ?hoUr? ?hoU???
infantum, diarrhoea ami general debility, aud in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.
JOS. D. JENKINS.
Blufflun, S. G., 1846.
It is with feelings of gratitude as well as pleasure
that I take this method of giving my testimony of
tho great estimation which I entertain for your ui
valuablo compound. In justice not only to the me
dicine, but for the benefit of others who may bo suf
fering from the same malady, Dyspepsia, wiih which
I was for years afllictod, I feel it a duly incumbcnt
on me to state that I am now restored to i?erfcct
health. When I commcnced tnkiug the Colleton
Bitters it was as' a last resort. My debility from in
digestion was so groat that a cure was looked upon
as almost hopeless. After taking it regularly and
persevering!y for some liine, my strength aud di
gestive powers wcro cutiroly restored. I have never
taken a single dose of any other medicine for more
than five years past. I can now cat the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. I have
also used Colleton Bitters freely in my family for
cholera infantum, choleramorbus, general debility,
and as a tonic after fever, with great success. As a
family medicine I deem it invaluable, and do con
scientiously recommend iu

Dr. Christie's Galvanic Riiujs and Mag
netic Fluid
rHf>s remarkable invention, which has received
the almost universal approbation ol the mcdical
profession of Great Britain. comprises an entirely
new application of Galvanism, as a remedial agent
by means of which the ordinary Galvanic Batteries,
Electric ami Magnetic Machines, &c. arc entirely,
dispensed with, and the mysterious power ol Cialvan
ism applied without any of the objections which are
inseparable from the general mode now in Ube.
The Galvanic Rings have been uosd with entire
success in all ?as*s ?f rheumatism, acutc or chronic,
applying to the head, face, or limbs ; gout, tic-dolo
reui, toothache, bronchitis, vertigo, nervous or sick
headache, indigestion, paralysii, palsy, epilepsy, (its,
cramp, palpitation of the heart, apoplexy, stillness of
tlie joints, spinal cotuplsiuts, lumbago, neuralgia,
nervous tremors, dizziness of the head, pains in the
chest and side, geuetal debility, deficiency ol ner
voiis and physical energy, and all nervous disorders.
Iu cases uf confirmed dyspepsia, which is simply a
nervous derangement of the digestive organs, tl,ey
have been been found eyually successful. Their ex
traordinuiv effects upon the system must be witnessed
to be bobehved, and as ? certain preventive for the
preceding complaints they are equally recommended.
The rings are of different prices, being made of all
sizes, and of various ornamental patterns, and can
be worn by the most delicate female without the
slightest inconvenience. In fact, the sensation is ra
her agreeable than otherwise.

adapted to the waist, arms, wrists, lirnbs, ankles, or
any part of Che body with perfect convenience. The
Galvanic Necklaces are used with greater benefit in
canes of bronchitis or affections of the throat gener
ally ; also, in car.cs of nervou3 deafness ; aud with
almost uniform success as a preventive lor appoplexy,
epilcptic fits, and similar complaint?.
Christie's Magnetic Fluid iu used iu conuaiion
with the Galvanic Kings, and all their modifications.
Thus composition has been pronounced by the
French Chemists to be one of the most extraordi.
nary discoveries of modern science. Full explana
tions und directions accompany it. 1 he combined
inventions are in every way perfectly harmless; they
are at prices within reach of all, and the discoverer
only requests a fair trial, as a test of their surprising
efficacy and permanent benefit.

tkus.?These articles form another valuable applica
tion of the mysterious influence of Galvauism. I hey
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 recomendcd as a
valuable addition iu the speedy cure of rheumatism,
acutc or chronic; in all nervous complaints, and as a
positive remedy in cases of pain and weakness iu the
chest or back, pain in the side, in asthmatic affections,
and in weakness or oppression of the pulmonary or
gans. In spinal complaints their effects arc of the
most decided character, and they have often been
used with complete success. They are also of the
greatest advantage in pains and weakness af the
hrcaat, and are highly recommended for many of
those complaints to which females are especially li
able. As an effectual means for strengthening the
system when debilitated with disease and other cau
ses, as a certain aid in constitutional weakness, as
a preventive for colds, and in all aflections of the
Xf* generally, the Galvanic (strengthening Plas
ters will be found of great and permanent advan

these articles have caused them to bo counterfeited
