"TUB TENTH I.EOIO*," published at Woodstock, Va., January 10, l>-50, said— " A CHEAT MEDICINE " We iiavc uniformly refrained from recommending to the public any of the various Patent Medicines of tlie daW( unless thoroughly convinced of their value. Among those we consider worthy of notice is the German Bxttera, invented by Dr. Hvofiand, and prepared bv l>r. Jackson, in Philadelphia. One instance in particular, in which the superior virtues of this medicine has been tested, has fal len under coir observation. During the last summer, a son tif MR. ABHVHXM GRABH.L, of this county, was very seriously afflicted with Eiver Complaint, and after trying in vain various remed.es, he purchased a bottle of the Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of his distressing malady, that he procured another bottle, and is restored entirely to health." READ FURTHER A FEW FACTS FROM " THE WEI. Don HEKAED," publishedat Wetdon, N. C., January 24, ISSO, which said— " FAT EST MED] CI SE S." " It is eery seldom that we make any allusion to Patent Medicines, either approving or otherwise. Unfortunately for the country, and for honest and conscientious inven tor, and venders of these medicines, the land is becoming flooded with quack preparations, that are made alone for profit and are fit not even for the dogs. In this state of things it is hard to tell which are, and which are nol worth having. If u person gets an indifferent medicine the first time he purchases, he is very apt to condemn the whole of them and buy no more, and inventors must oulv blame those of their number, (who ignorantly combine plain medicines together for the purpose of making money,) for the ill success which attends the efforts of the deserving.*' " We believe Dr. C. M. Jackson's 'iloofiand's German B.tters' to be a most excellent medicine, and one that sh-.uld be highly popular in these days of Temperance; for they are altogether Vegetable in their composition, without one drop of .llcokolic Spirits in them. This med Idne is innocent* but strengthening in its effects, and rich ly deserving of an unbounded popularity, which, when it becomes know n, it will, no doubt, fully enjoy." JtncE M. M. NOAH said, tn his" WEEKEX MESSEN GER," January 5.1850 " Dr. Ifvofltind's Herman Bitters. — Here i, a prepara tion which the leading presses in the Union appear to be unanimous in recommending, and the reason is obvious. It i, made after a prescription furnished by cne of the most celebrated physicians of modern times—the late Dr. Christopher Wilhelni Iloofland, professor to the Uni versity of Jena, private physician to the king of Prussia, and one of the greatest medical writers Germany has ever produced. He was emphatically the enemy of humbug, and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor and endorsor may be confidently relied on. He specially recommended it in Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Debility, \ ertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all complaints arising from a disordered condition of the stomach, the liver and ihe intestines Nine Philadelphia papers express their conviction of its excellency, and sev eral of the editors speak of its effects from their own indi vidual experience Under these circumstances, we feel warranted, not only in catlingthe attention of our readers to the {.resent proprietor's (Dr.O M Jackson's) prepara tion, but IU recommending the article to all afflicted." MORE EVJDESCE. The " PML.XDEI.rHiA SATURDAY GAZETTE," the best family newspaper published in the United State*. The editor says of Dr. Iloofland's Herman Bitters: " It is seldom that we recommend xx hat are termed Pat ent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our readers; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr Hoof land's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinctly under stood that we are not speaking of the nostrums of the day, that are noised about for a brief period and,then forgotten after it iias done its guilty race of mischief, but of a med icine long established, universally prized, anil which has met the hearty approval of the faculty itself." Evidence upon evidence has been received (like tbe foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last three years, a?irf the strongest testimony tn its favor, is, that there is more ot it used in the practice of the regular Physi cians of Philadelphia than all other nostrums combined, a fuct that can easily be established, and fully proving that a scientific preparation will meet with their quiet approval when pre sented even in this form. That tl, is medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt after using it as directed. It acts specifically upon the stom ach snd liver; it is preferable to calomel in all bilious diseases— the effect is immediate. T hey can be administered to FEMALE or INFANT with safety and reliable benefit, at ant* time. HEW A RE OF COUNTERFEITS. This medicine has attained that high charac ter which is necessary for all medicines to at tain to induce counterfeiters to put forth a spu rious article at the risk of the lives of those who are innocently deceived Look well to the marks of the genuine.

'The highest knowl edge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art. have all been brought into requisition in the manufacture of the Old Dr's sLarsaparilia. The Sarsapartlla root, it is wall known to medical men. contains many .nedicinal pro port.es, ai.d sonic properties which are inert or useless, and others, which if retained in preparing it for use. produce fermentation and acid, which is injurious to the system Some of the properties of isarsaperilla are so volatile, that they entirely evatiorate and are lost in the preparation, if they are not preserved by a scientific process, known only to those experienced in it* manufacture. Moreover, these volatile principles, which fly ofl" in vapor, or as an exhale Hon. under heat, are the very essential medical properties if the root, which give to it all .is value.
