ANOTHER WONDERFUL CUBE.'
Philadelphia, April 9, 1846.
Last August a year, I caught a violent cold, in
consequcnco of getting wet iu a shower of ram.
A circumstance so common gave me no 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. I now suffered great op
pression from the great secretion of purulent mat
ter in my lungs. I 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'uighl the sweat literally poured off
me ! This was my condition vhen 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 mouths since I ceased using
the mediciue, and the cure remains perfect. 1
firmly believe this mcdicine is far superior to
every other remedy for Consumption of the Luugs.

COLLETON BITTERS.
THESE Bitters arc purely a vegetable com
pound, and are offered to the public from
principle of Itenevolcnce, under the fullest convic
tion that they will bo found a safe and sovereign
?cmedy for I)yspepnia. They have bc?n triuin
)hantly tented, not only l>y some of the most re
sectable families and physicians in the State of
South Carolina, who have furnished ampin testi
mony as to their decided excellence, hut also by the
proprietor, who, for ten years, suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubltorn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
moBt other Bitters, of not proving injurious by con
tinucd 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 iufant in the month.
With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind, I
send you a certificate relativo to the Colleton Bit
ters.
In the year 1838, when the cholera was in
Charleston, S. C., I was compelled to send aservaut
to the city. On his return, he was suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain in his bowels, so much so
as to cau?e apprehension that he would expire in a
short time, if medical aid could not be procured. I
immediately resorted to the Colleton Bitters, by giv
ing a wiuc glass full at a dose. In the course of a
very short time it acted as an emetic, and throwing
him at the same lime into a profuse (wrspfratiou. I
then continued to give it in small doses, from two to
three tea spoonsful!, which resulted in a happy re
covery. Siucc then I have been using it constantly
in my family, in cases of cholora morbus, cholera
infantum, disrrhma and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.
JOS. D. JENKINS.
Blufflon, 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 for your iu
valuablo compound. In justice not only to the me
dicine, but for the benefit of others who may be suf
fering from the snine 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 commenccd taking the Colleton
Bitters it was as a last resort. My debility from in
digestion was so great that a cure was looked u[>on
as almost hopeless. After taking it regularly and
pcrseveringly for some time, my strength aud 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 cut the richest food
without any unpleasant feelings whatever. I have
also used Colleton Bitters freely in my family for
cholera infinitum, cholera morbus, general debility,
and as a tonic after fever, with great success. As a
family mcdiciue I deem it invaluable, aud do con
scientiously rccommond it.

Dr. Christie's Galvanic Rings and Mag
netic Fluid
THIS remarkable invention, which has received
the almost universal approbation of the medical
profession of Great Britain, comprises an entirely
new application of Galvauwm, as a remedial agent
hv means of which the ordinary Galvanic Batteries,
tela 4c. enUre,,
dispensed with, and the mysterious power of Galvan
ism applied without any of the objections which are
inseparable from the general modo now 111 use.
The Galvanic Ring* have been uesd with entire
success in all imc* ?f rheumatism, acute or chronic,
applying to the head, face, or limbs ; gout, ticdolo
reux, toothache, bronchitis, vertigo, nervous or sick
headache, indigestion, paralysis, palsy, epilepsy, fits,
1 cromp, palpitation of the heart, apoplexy, stiffness of
the joints, spinal complaints, lumbago, neuralgia,
l.iTlno,., taxiuL of th. |~l. f "?
chest and side, genoral debility, deficiency of ner
vous and physical energy, and all nervous disorders.
In cases of confirmed dyspepsia, which is simply a
nervous derangement of the digestive organs l ey
have been been found equally successful Thenex
traordinary effects upon the ay stem must be witnessed
to be bo belived, and as a ccrtam preventive for the
preceding complaints thoy are equally recommoudod.
1 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
slightest inconvenience. In fact, the sensation is ra
her agreeable than otherwise.
The Ga.lva.sic Bklt.i, Bhacklbts, Bands, Gah
i tehs, Nkcinc*., &c.&c.-:Thesc arucles arc
I adapted to the waist, arms, wrists, limbs, ankles^or
any part of the body with perfect convenience. T he
Gsdvanic 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 succoss as a jMrcventive for appoplcxy,
epileptic lite, and similar complaints.
Christie's Magnetic Fluid is used m connexion
with the Galvanic Kings, and all their modifications.
This composition has been pronounced by the
French Chemist* to be one of the most extraordi
nary discoveries of modern science. Full explana
tions and directions accompany it. The combined
inventions arc in every way perfectly harmless; they
are at prices within reach of all, and the discovcrcr
only requests a fair trial, as a test of their surprising
efficacy and permanent benefit.
Cuuistir's Galvanic Sthkngthknino PlAs
tehs ?These articles form another valuable ?Pl?[ca
tion of the mysterious influence of Galvanism. 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 arc 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 of pain and weakness in the
chest or back, pain in the side, in asthmatic affections,
and in weakness or oppression of the H'nonary
cans. In spinal complaiuts their effects are of the
most decided character, and they have often been
used with complete success. I hey arc also of the
greatest advantage in pains and weakness ef tb
breast, and are highly recommended for many ol
those complaints to which females are especially li
able. As an effectual means for strengthening the
svstem when debilitated with disease and other cau
ses, as a certain aid iu constitution^ weakness, as
a preventive for colds, and in all affections of the
chest generally, the Galvanic Strengthening 1 las
tors will bo found of great and permanent advan
i tTr CAUTION. The celebrity and succcss of
these articles have caused them to be counterfeited
I by unprincipled persons. Dr. Christie cauUonsthe
public against spurious imitations. He has but on

tho genuino articles can be procured. The only
