ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE!
' Philadelphia, April 9, 1846.
Last August a year, 1 caught a violent cold, in
cousequence 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 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
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 coudition when 1 commenced
using'* Thomson's Compound, Syrup of Tar and
Wood Naphtha." I procured' one bottle, and ex
perienced so much benefit that Iresolved to con
tinue it. It is now six months since I ceased using
the medicine, and the cure remains perfect. I
firmly believe this medicine is far superior to
every other remedy for Consumption of the Lungs.

COLLETON BITTERS.
rpHESE 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 be lound a sale and sovereign
?remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-1
jhantly tested, not only by some of (lie most re-1
< peel able families and physicians in the Stale of
"iouth Carolina, who have furnished ample testi
mony as to their decided excellence, but also by (he
proprietor, who, for ten years, siifiered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn 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 infant iu the month.
With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind, I
end you a certificate relative to the Colleton Bit
ters.
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 in his bowels, so much so
as to cause apprehension that he would expise in a
short time, if medical aid could not be procured. I
immediately resfofed to tho Colleton Bitters, by giv
ing a wine glass 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 perapftration. 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, in eases of
inlamum, diarrhma and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial. Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.
JOS. D. JENKINS.
Blitfflon, S. O.; 1846.
It is with feelings of gratitude as well as pleasure
that I take this method of giving my testimon* of
the great estimation which I entertain for you/ in
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 whieh
I was for years afflicted, I feci it a duty incumbent
on me to state that I am now restored to perfect
health. When I commenced taking the Colleton
Bitters it was as a last resort. My debility 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
gesUxe powers were entirely restored. I have never
taken a single dose of any other medicine for more
, than five years past. I can now eat the richest 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
I family medicine I deem it invaluable, and do con
scientiously recommend iU

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 Galvanism, aa a remedial agent
by means of which the ordinary Galvanic Batteriea,
Electric and Magnetic Machines, Ac. are entirely,
dispensed with, and the mysterious power of (>alvan
in in applied without any of the objections which are
inseparable from the general mode now in use.
The Galvanic Rings have been uesd with entire
success in ail eases af rheumatism, acute or chronic,
applying to the bead, face, or limbs; gout, tic-dolo
reux, toothache, bronclutis, vertigo, nervous or rack
headache, indigestion, paralysis, palsy, epilepsy, fits,
cramp, palpitation ofc the hflpp, apoplexy, suffness of
ike joints, spinal complaint?* lumbago, neuralgia,
nervous tremors, dizziness of the head, pains in the
chest and side,* general debUity, deficiency of tier
voos and phyaickl energy, and all nervous disorders.
In cases of confirmed dyspepsia, which is simply a
nervous Jeraiigement of the digestive organs, tLey
have been been found eytially successful illioir ex
traordiuary effects upon the system must be witnessed
to be be belivcd, and as a certain prevenUve for the
preceding complainta they are equally recommended.
The rings aro of difierent prices, being made of all
sizes, and of various ornamental patterns, and can
be worn by the moat delicate female without the
alightest inconvenience. In fact, the sensation is ra
her agreeable than otherwise.
The Gaiyawic Bxi,ts,Bracbi,xts, Binds, Gar
txms, Nkcklacss, 4oc. Ac. 'I heae articles are
u> the waist, arms, wrists, limbs, ankles, or
any part of the body with perfect convenience. The
Galvanic Necklaces are used with greater benefit in
eases of bronohitia 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 aimilar 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 Chemist* to be one of the most exUaordi.
nary discoveries of modern science. Full explana
tions and directions accompany it. The combined
inventions are in every way perfectly harmless; they
are at priccs within reaeh of all, and the discoverer
only requests a fair trial, as a test of their surprising
efficacy and permanent benefit.
Christik's Gaitanic Stiinbtbjnino Plas?
tbhs.?-These articles form another valuable applica
tion of the mysterious influence of Galvanism. They
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 recomended aa 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 aide, in asthmatic aflecUons,
and in weakness or oppression of the pulmonary or
gans. In spinal complaints their effects are of the
moat decided character, and they have often been
uaed with complete sucoess. They are also of the
greatest advantage in pains and weakness of the
breaat, and are highly recommended for many of
those complainta to which females are especially li
able. Aa an effectual means for strengthening the
system when debilitated with disease and other cau
ses, as a certain aid in conatitutional weakness, as
* nrnvAntive for rnkU. ?*?d ?* of the
??5t generally, the Galvanic Strengthening Plas
ters will be found of great and permanent advan
tage. ]
rrj* CAUTION. The celebrity and auccess of
these article* have caused them to be counterfeited
by unprincipled persons. Dr. Chriatie cautions the
public against spurious imitations. He 4ms but one
authorised agency in each city of the Union, where
the genuine articles can be procured. The only
agents for Washington are?
