Church:
Dr. Jackson. —Dear Sir:— l have been frequently re
quested to connect my name with commendations of differ
ent kinds of medicines, but regarding the practice as out of
my appropriate sphere, I have in all cases declined; but
with a clear proof in various instances, and particularly in
my own family, of the use of Dr. Hooflnud‘B Gorman Bitters,
I depart for once from my nsual course, to express my full
conviction that, for general debility of the system, and espe
cially for Liver Complaint , it is a safe and valuable prepara
tion. In some cases it may fail; hut usually, I doubt not,
it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from tbe above
causes. Yours, very respectfully,

DR. C. 51. Jackson. —Dear Sir :—Personal experience en

by you os a most excellent medicine. In cases of severe
cold and general debility 1 have been greatly benefitted by
tbe use of the Bitters, and doubt not they will produce
similar effects on others. Yours truly,

it has been of great service. 1 believe that in most cases of
general debility of tbe system it is the safest and most valu
able remedy of which I have any knowledge.

From the Rev. Thomas Winter, Pastor of Roxborough

Dr. Jackson. —Dear Sir:—l feel it due to your excellent

mony to the deserved reputation it has obtained. I have
for years, at times, been troubled with groat disorder in my
head and nervous system. I was advised by a frieud to
try a bottle of your German Bitters. I did so, and experi
enced great i«ud unexpected relief. My health has been
very materially benefitted. I confidently recommend the

have been assured by many of their good effects.

Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city; because
I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the
impression tbftt they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I
am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the
r removal of this prejudice by proper tests,and for encou
agement to try; them, when suffering from great and long
continued debility. The use of tlireo bottles of these Bit
ters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed by
evident relief, and restoration to a degreo of bodily and
mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before,
and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank
God and my friend for directing me to the use of them.

AND THE TRIENDS OF SOLDIERS. 1
We call the attention of all haring relations or friendß in
the army to the fact that “ HOOFLAND’S German Bitters ”
will cure nine-tenths of the diseases iuduced by oxposnres
and privations incident to camp life. In the lists, published
almost daily in the newspapers, on tbo arrival of the sick,
it will be noticed that a very large proportion are suffering
from debility. Every case of"that kind can be readily cured
by Hoofland’s German Bitters. Diseases resulting front
disorders of the digestive organs arc speedily removed. We
have no hesitation in stating that, if these Bitters were
freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of lives might be
saved that otherwise will be lost. s

The Secretary of the Treasury
has not yet given notice of any intention to
withdraw this popular Loan from Sale at Par,
and, until ten days’ notice is given, the under
signed, as
“General Subscription Agent,”
will continue to supply the public.
The whole amount of the Loan authorized is
Five Hundred Millions of Dollars.
Nearly Four Hundred Millions have been
already subscribed and paid
into the Treasury,
mostly within the last seven months. The large
demand from abroad, and the rapidly increasing
home demand for use as the basis.for circulation
by National Banking Associations now or
ganizingin all parts of the county, will, in a very
short period, absorb the balance. Sales have
lately ranged from ten to fifteen millions week
ly, frequently exceeding three millions daily,
and as it is well-known that the Secretary of
the Treasury has ample and unfailing resources
in the Duties on Imports and Internal Revenue,
and in the issue of the Interest-bearing Trea
sury Notes, it is almost a certainty that he will
not find it necessary, for a long time to come,
to seek a market for any other long or perma
nent loans, the Interest and Principal of which
are
Payable in Gold.
Prudence and self-interest must force the
minds of those contemplating the formation of
National Banking Associations, as well as the.
minds of all who have idle money on their
hands, to the prompt conclusion that they
should lose no time in subscribing to this most
popular Loan. It will soon be beyond their
reach, and advance to a handsome premium, as
was the result with the “Seven Thirty” Loan,
when it was all sold and could no longer be
subscribed for at par.
It is a Six per Cent. Loan, the Interest
and Principal payable in Coin, thus yield
ing over Nine per Cent- per annum at the
present rate of premium on coin.
The Government requires all duties on im
ports to be paid in Coin. These duties have,
for a long time past, amounted to over a
Quarter of a Million of Dollars daily, a sum
nearly three times greater than that required in
the payment of the interest on all the 5-20’s
and other permanent loans. So it is hoped
that the Surplus Coin in the Treasury, at no dis
tant day, will enable the United States to re
sume specie payments upon all liabilities.
The Loan is called 5-20 from the fact that,
whilst the Bonds may run for 20 years, yet the
Government has a right to pay them off in
Gold, at par, at any time after 5 years.
The Interest is paid half-yearly,
viz: on the first days of November and May.
Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which
are payable to bearer, and are $5O, $lOO, $6OO,
and $1000; or -Registered Bonds of same de
nominations, and in addition, $5,000 and
$lO,OOO. For Banking purposes and for in
vestment of Trust-monies the Registered Bonds
axe preferable.
These 6-20’s cannot- be taxed- by--States;-
cities, towns, or counties, and the Government
tax on them is only one and'a half per cent, on
the amount of income, when the income of
holder exceeds Six Hundred Dollars per an
num. All other investmenss, such as income
from Mortgages, Stock and Bonds,
etc., must pay from three to five per cent, tax
on she income.
Banks and Bankers throughont the Country
will continue to dispose of the Bonds; and all
orders by mail, or otherwise, will be promptly
attended to.
The inconvenience of a few days’ delay in the
delivery of the Bonds is unavoidable, the de
mand being sogreat; but as interest commences
from the day of subscription, no loss is occa
sioned,, and every efforts is being made to. di
minish the delay.
