ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE!
PananKLpaiA, April 9, 1846.:
Last August a year, 1 caught a violent cold, in
consequence.of' getting wet in a shower of rain.
A circumstance so common gave me no immediate
concern, supposiag that I should soon get rid of it.
On the contrary, however, 1 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
friends considered my situation extremely
critical, tpe more so as loss of appetite, hectic
lever, and night sweat* rendered me as weak as
* C . .J,.. at l,iKht to? sweat literally poured off
me! rhi, was my condition when I 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
''? It is now six mouths sinee I ceased using
the medicine, and the cure remains perfect. 1
firmly believe this medicine is far superior to
nsa&Msas

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 bo found a safe snd sovereign
?eme-Vy for Dyspcptiu. They have been trium
phantly tested, not only by some of tbe most re
?pectabl? families aud physicians ut the State of
sJouth Carolina, who have furniahed ample testi
mony as to their decided excellence, but also by the
proprietor, who, for ten years, suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar sxoellence, 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 infant in the month.
With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind, I
send you a certificate relative te the Colleton Bit
ters.
_ 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 in his bowfels, so much so
as to cause apprehension that he would expire in a
short time, if msdical aid could not be procured. I
immediately re sorted to the Colleton Bitters, by giv
iug a wine glim full at a dose. In the course of a
very short time it acted as an emetic, and throwing
him at the same time into a profuse perspfration. 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 H constantly
in my family, in cases of cholera morbus, cholera
infantum, dianhma and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.
JOS. D. JENKINS.
Blvfflon, S. G., 1846.
It is with feelings of gratitude aa well as pleasure
that I take this method of giving my testimony of
the great estimation which 1 enteitain for your ill
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 foryears afllicted, I feel it a duty incumbent
on me to ?tate that I am now restored to perfect
health. When I commenced taking the Colleton
Hitters it was aa a last resort. My dobiJity from in
digestion was so great that a cure was looked upon
as almost hopeless. After taking it regularly and
perseveringly for some time, my strength and di
gestive powers were entirely restored. I hale never
taken a single dose of any other medicine for more
than five years past. I can bow eat the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. I have
also used Colleton Bitters freely in my family for
cholera infantum, cholera turn-but, 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.

txk?.?These articles form another valuable ?PPj^
tion of the mysterious influence of Galvanism. 1 hey
are an important adjunct to the genuine Gallaruc
Rings and their modifications, acting upon the same
principle, but having tlie advantage of more local ap

valuable addition in tbe speedy cure of rheumatism,
acute or chronic; in all nervous complaints, and as a
positive remedy incases of pain and weakness in the
chert or back, pain in the side, in asthmatic affections,
and in weakness or oppression of the pulmonary or

Lost decided character, and they have often been
used with complete success. 1 hey are also of the
greatest advantage in peins and weakneeselUie

those complaints to which females are esneoally li
able. As an effectual means for strengthening the
system when debilitated with disease and other reu

a preventive for colds, and in all affifcUons of the
