ZIAG I{.l E S A Sure Preventative of C fC.11A (II WONDERUL REMEDY was discovered :fed introduced about twenty years ago by Dr. S. tAleop,i is, an eminent Egyptian physician. lie had long seen and felt the want of sonic reme dy which would strike' at the root of disease, and so prevent much of the suffering which the human family was then compelled to-endure. The great question was presented to his mind every dyy in vivid colors as he moved among the sick and dying, and observed the inefficiency of nearly all the remedies then in use. Thus he was lead to think and experiment; and after ten years of study and labor, he presented to his fetlow-man the wonderful Zingari, bitters. ~The effect of this prep aration in the prevention and cure of disease, was so marvellous , and astonishing, that the - most flat tering- marks of royal favor were bestowed upon him who discovered it. II is name was placed upon the Roll of Nobles, and a gold medal with the fol lowing inscription—Dr, Cheopsus, the Public Betio factor-,-was presented to hint by the Viceroy. The preparation has been used in several epidem ics of choloia, both a, a preventive and curative measure, and with such great success, that it has been introduced Intl() nearry al! the general hospitals of the old,world. The ole saving that, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care, applies with marvelous force to cholera, and therefore any remedy that will pro tect us against, this terrible disease should be freely and persistently used. All pathologists now agree that the cholera poison nets on the excretory organs, and keeps them in working order, must prevent a sufficient accumula tion of the_ poison to exert its terrible eltects on the organism. - This is.ti tie not only of cholera, , out of nearly all other maladies, especially the dilforent torms of fever. , . . . The. Great Ziugari Bitters is just such a remedy as the itb,-ve condition , require. Its acts on the organs of excretion and secretion,keeping up a per fect balance between them. This Bitters is com posed entirely of roots and herbs. so nicely con cocted that every organ is acted upon and -put in. tone. Its taste is pleasant and, its effects prompt and lasting. Numerous cases of the following disease have been_ cured by it: Cholera, Diarrlaen, Dysentery, Typhoid and Typhus Fever. Fever, Ague, - istervous Debility, Auaemin y.

Columbia: Pa., -. , - Cure,4 by Misider's Herb Ratters I When Mishler's Bitters. were first intro duced to the public the proprietor did not feel justified in recommending it as a spe citie for Cholera During the fall of 1865, Dr. Mishler received the following note from Jacob L. Baker, Esq., of Lancaster Pa., a member of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Mr. Baker had a great deal of experience in the treatment of Cholera is a druggist of sixteen years standing,was Hospital Steward in the Jefferson Hospital, Philadelphia, for three years, and is withal a gentleman of undoubted integrity and one in whose statement the most implicit confidencellan be placed : Lancaster, November 3d, 1865. Dr. Mishler—Dear Sin—Knowing ,that the Cholera with its dread fu 1 ravages is now upon our land, and knowing that no medi cine now in our country.possesses such a caloric influence "which is the vital reme dy for all diseases of this kind," as the Bitters you now making I request you to prepare such a quantify of your bitter as would suit all demands, as I assure you they will be an invaluable remedy, and will be hailed as a blessing by all who will use it.. 570,108,37 Being thus urged, and having noticed the Bitters'were constantly curing the most violent cases of Diarriwea, Cholera liorbus and kindred complaints,Dr. Mishler at last offered his compounds as a cure for Cholera The result has exceeded his most sanguine expectations and fully justifies all that Mr. Baker says in his note. It certainly proves that Mr. Baker's practical knowledge of medicine tar exceeds that of most doctors who too often dose their patients with de leterious drugs on some absurd theory.— For tile purpose of showing that Mishler's Herb Bitters cure Cholera we give below a few facts: All intelligent persons who have investi gated the Origin of cholera, agree that it is caused by poison introduced and generated into the system by impure water, damp ness, filth and over-crowded rooms with delicient ventilation. This is proved by the fact that cholera al ways rages worse on board of ships where all of the above causes are found more or less combined. To cure cholera, and also to prevent it,it is necessary to neutralize this position, and that Mishler's Bitters will do this is proven by the following : The steamship Virginia, arrived at the Port of IsTeNt* ork. about the middle of April with cholera a board a number of the passengers having died during the voyage with this coinplalim Among the passen gers were a fluidly named Schmith, from Baden, Germany. This fitfully was at tacked with cholera. Fortu lately for them they had friends living in this city (Lan caster. Pa.,) who knew the virtues of Mish ler's Bitter:s and who procured a bottle and sent it to the Sebmith Madly. When this package arrived at Quarantine,the doctors examined it and confiscated the contents. Another bottle was procured and packed in a more secure manner: itsafe:ly reached the Schiniths. On its arrival aboard the Vir g 121.ia, Henry Schmid] and Christ. Schmitt] were both labming under choleric symp toms: Mrs. Marcia Schmitt], wife of the former was very bad, not expected to re cover, and a son had died of the dread com plaint and had been buried theday previ ous. It was in this plight a bottle of Mish ler's Bitters, sent forth like an Angel of Mercy found the poor Schmith family.— Henry Schmith was the first to try it, and so instantaneous was the relief he experi enced that he gave itto nis wife and brother both of whom it at once relieved. They used the entire contents of the bottle and all three were so much relieved that the physicians permitted them to leave the Virginia,after being confined at quarantine aboard that scourge ship forty-two says.— The Schmiths proceeded to their relatives in Lancaster, and at an early opportunity called on Dr. Mishler to express their grati tude for the, timely relief they had found in his Bitters. Mr Henry Schmitt] stated that all the compounds the doctors had given him did no good, but that one glass of Mishler's Bitters made him feel like a new man, warming his whole system, giving him a healthful heat and causing him to perspire freely. His statement was sulistatitiallyJtUS substantially as given above, and he Urther said that if the clod tors had not kept the first bottle from reaching him, his son would yet hrve been living. Mrs. ;Schmidt was still weak from the effect of cholera, but the continued use of the Bitters were most surely restoring her accustomed vigor. It is not to be expected that regular M. Ds. will admit that any remedy not to be found in the Dispensatory will cure Chol era or any other complaint, bat candor compels Dr. D. 11. Bissell of the Cholera Hospital ship " Falcon" to admit that he believes Mishler's Bitters to be a " very good Tonic." In reply as to a case of Bit ters that was sent to him by a well known ,-entleman of Lancaster, he writes as fol lows : Hospital Ship Falcon, Quaremtin, New York,June 7th, .1.666. George S. Rowbotham, Esq.— Dear Sir : Yours of the 23d, inst. is to hand. In re ply, I beg leave to say, that I received the case of Bitters you sent me for trial &e., that I gave them to the convalescents in - Hospital. I believe them to be a very good tonic Bitters, well adapted to all cases requiring Tonic remedies. D. 11. BISSELL * Physician, HOspital Ship "Falcon." This letter from Dr. Bissell,just after the reception of the Bitters, and before he had, time and opportunity to thoroughly test their wonderful medicinal, properties is considered an important endorsement, as that gentleman to-day occupies the most important position of any physician in America. The passengers and crews • o emigrant and merchant vessels that arrive in the Port, of New York fromforeigncoun tries,are subject to his inspection and con trol, and the treat experience lie has had in the management of that dreadful dis ease, Cholera, gives an endorsement 'by him an unusual importance. This letter together with the statement of the Schmidt family—who while in the Steamer Vir ginia, were under Dr. Bissell's control, shows what the Bitters have done and can do. Another casP of Cholera cured by Mish ler.s Herb Bitters is that of Mr. Pearsol of York county, who,after suffering severely from all 'the symptons of -Cholera, finally became collapsed and while in this state, (the doctors stating that he was beyond re lief) a friend administeredfreely,Mishler's Bitters: The effect was instantaneous ; heat was generated in the body, perspira tion was induced and after ,using one bat tle Mr. Pearsol was entirely restored. Mishler's BitArs cures Cholera by coun teracting the poison which is the cause of the disease. Poison in the system,whether generated by bad air, filth, &e., as in Cholera, -or introduced by the bite 'of a venomous snake or mad dog will be ex pelled and all. bad syniptons allayed by the use of Miebler's Herb Bitters. The above proves this to lie the fact in Cholera and the certificate of Mr.Rhinehart proves that Mishler's Diners will cure the bite of a poisonous snake: . Lancaster, July 4th, 1565. Mr. B.Mishler—Sir:—About eight weeks since I was bitten in the left hand by a snake, but at the time did not know of what species it was. Immediately after the bite my hand swelled to a very large size, and the poison appeared to be work ing up my arm. I suffered great pain in my hand and arm; I had to quit work and was afraid I would be compelled to have My hand amputated. I came to you, and by your advice washed my hand and arm with your Herb Bitters at the same time taking it inwardly. In eleven days I was able EU go to work again. The poison was all drawn out and Mishler's Herb Bitters was the only medicine or application that I made use of. Mr. Christian Burns, a near neighbor of mine, went out a day or two after to the place where I was bitten, and killed what I believe was the same snake that bit me as. he caught within five yards of the spot where .I - was bitten. It proved to be wlmt is called a copper snake; at any rate, whether it was the same ono that bitme or hot—one thing is certain— that your Bitters cured the bite of a snake in my case. for which I shall ever be thank ful, as I believe:it was the ni,eansof saving my hand. I shall be pleased to personally' satisfy any, one of the truth of the above. - Yours. JACOB RINEHART. • • Low Street, Lancaster. For Sale by—J. C. BUCHER, ROBERT HAMILTON, and all Druggists. may 26.
