ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE!
Phil ah klphia, April 9, 1846.
Last Ai gust a year, I caught a violent cold, iu
consequence of gelling wet in a shower of rain.
A circumstance so common gave me no immediate
concern, supposing that I should soon get rid of il.
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. 1 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 '? This 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. Il is now six months since I ceased using
the medicine, and the cure remaius perfect. 1
firmly believe this medicine is far superior to
every other remedy for Consumption of the Lungs,

COLLETON BITTERS
J1HESE Bitters are purely a vegetable com
. pound, and are offered to the public from
principle of lienevolence, under the fullest convic
tion that they will be found a sale mid sovereign
?einedy for Df/fpepna. They have been trium
>hantly tested, not only by soine of the most re
sectable families and physicians in the Slate of
*outh Carolina, who have furnished ample testi
mony an to their decided excellence, but also by the
proprietor, who, for ten years, suite red all the gloom
incident to thut stubborn and distracting 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, a* seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may lie given with entire
safety lo an infant in the mouth.
With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind, I
send you a certificate relative to the Colleton Bit
ters. _ j
In the year 1838, when the cholera was in
-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 iii his bowels, so much so
as to cause apprehension that lie would expire in a
short time, if medical aid could not l>e procured. 1
immediately resorted to the Colleton Bittern, by giv
ing a wine glass full at a dose. In tlio course of a
very short time it acted as an emetic, and throwing
him at the same time into n profuse perspiration. I
then continued to give it in small doses, from two lo
three tea spoon?fnll, which resulted in a happy re
covery. Since then 1 have been using it constantly
in my family, in cases of cholera aioibus, cholera
infantum, diarrhoea ami general debility, and in
every instance found it hitrhly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, rsquire much larger doses
than others.
JOS. D. JENKINS.
Bluffton, S. C\, 1840.
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 f-?r your in
valuable compound. In justice not only to the m? -
dicine, but for the benefit, of others who may be suf
fering from the same malady, Dysjtepsia, with which
1 was for years alllictcd, I feci it a duty incumbent
on uie to state that 1 ?in now restored to perfect
health. When I commenced taking the Colleton
Bitters it was us a lust resort. My debility from in
digestion was so great %at a cure was looked upon
as* almost hojtelcss. After taking it regularly and
pprsevcringly lor some time, my strength and di
gestive powers were entirely restored. I have never
taken a t-iugle doe of any other medicine for more
than five years past. I can now eat the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. I have
a|s? used Colleton Bittern freely in my family tor
ehohra infinitum, cholera nwrhui, general debility,
and as ?? tonic after lever, with great success. As a
family im dicine I deem it invaluable, and do con
scientiously recommend it.

rrillls ,,>ninrkal>l? invention, which has received
I the ali'io*' universal approbation of the meilical
profin*Mii of Great Britain, wimprinos an entirely
new application of Galvanism, as a remedial agent
hy means of which the ordinary (i.ilvanic Batteries.
Electric ami Magnetic Machines. &c. are entirely,
di*|ieiised with, and the mysterious power of Galvaii
ism applied without any oi the objection* which are
inseparable from the general nrnde now in line.
The Galvanic King* liave been nosd with entire
success in all oases ??f rheumatism. acute *>r chronic,
applying to the head, face, or linilw ; com, tie-dolo
reux, toothache, bronchitis, vertigo, nervous or sick
headache, indigestion, paralysis, palsy, epilepsy, tits,

the joints, spinal complaint*, lumbago, neuralgia,
nervous tremors, dizziness ol the bead, pains in the
chest and wide, general debility, deficiency ol ner
vous and physical energy , and a!) nervous disorder*.
In cases of confirmed dyspepsia, whicli is simply a
nervovis derangement of the digestive organs, tl.ey
have been been found equally successful. Their ex
traordinary effects upon thcsyitein must lie witnessed
to be l?e Wived, and as a certain preventive for the
preceding complaint* tbey are equally recommended.
The rings are of different prices, being made of all
size*, and of various ornamental patterns, and can
lie worn by the most delicate female without the
slightest inconvenience. In fact, the sensation is ru
ber agreeable than otherwise.

adapted to the waist, arms, wrists, limbs, ankles, or
any part of the laxly with perfect convenience. The
Galvanic Necklaces are used with greater benefit in
cases of bronchitis or affections of the throat gener
ally ; also, in cases of nervous deafness; and with
almost uniform success as a preventive for appoplexy,
epileptic fits, and similar complaints.
Christie's Magnetic Fluid is used in connexion
with the Galvanic Rings, and all their modifications.
This composition has been pronounced by the
French Chemists to be one of the most extraoidi.
nary discoveries of modern science. Full explana
tions and directions accompany it. The combined
inventions are in every way perfectly harmless; they
are at prices within reach of all. and the discoverer
only requests a fair triul,"as a test ot their surprising
efficacy and permaneul benefit*
Ciirihtik's Galvanic Strknothkning Plas
ters.?These articles lorm another valuable applica
tion of the mysterious influence of Galvanism. They
are an important adjunct to the genuine Galvanic
Kings and their .modifications, acting upon the same
principle, but having the advantage of more local ap
plication* They are confidently recomended as a
valuable addition in the speedy cure of rheumatism,
acute or chronic ; in all nervous complaints, and as a
positive remedy in cases ot pain and weakness in the
chest or back, pain in the side, in asthmatic attections,
and in weakness or oppression ol the pulmonary or
gans. In spinal complaints their t-lfecls are ol the
most decided character, and they have ofien been
used with complete success. They are also of the
greatest advantage in pains and weakness c?t the
j breast, and are highly recommended for many ol
I hove complaints to which females are especially li
able. As an effectual means for strengthening the
system when debilitated with disease an I otiier cau
ses, as a certaiu aid io constitutional weakness, as
a preventive for colds, and ill all affections ol the
cheat generally, the Galvanic Strengthening I'las
ters will be found of great and permanent advan

these articles have caused them to be counterfeited
by unprincipled persons. Dr. Christie cautions the
