IN our summer and fall month* many section* of our

It is also we think the very best remedy iu Dyspepsia,
and if our directions are followed, will not fail to effect
a cure.
In a letter dated, May 23d, I*l9, our Agent, Mr. Elias

never known any remedy tor >* rr and Jifrut equal to
your invaluable National Tonic. It ha* given universal
satisfaction, and ha* cured cases of Ague of year* stand

of. Mr. Henry Beverson, of the tame place, says in his
certificate, dated '.CM March, 1*49, ' I applied to a number
of Physicians, and also used a variety of the most popu
lar Ague Milturos at different tune*, but all without the
iesired effect; no permanent cure having been afforded.
I was at length induced, at the recommendation cf your
worthy Agent at this place, to try a bottle of your Na

used half uf it, I felt completely cured, though I contin
ued the use of it till 1 had taken two bottles.' In a joint
certificate from Messrs. Miles Iloke, William Blackson,
and James L>. Brown, of the same place, they say—'Hav

AVERY valuable preparation for persons
recovering fiom fever, or other diseases,
a few drops imparting to the stomach a glow
and vigor equal to a gla.-sful of brandy, or other
stimulants, without any of the debilitating ef
fects which are sure to lollow the use of liquur
of any kind ; and it is therefore especially ap
plicable to children and females. To the aged
it will prove a great comfort; to the dyspeptic,
and to those who are predisposed to gout and
rheumatic affectione, it gives great relief; and
to the inebriate, who wishes to reform, but
whose stomach is constantly craving the nox
ious liquor, it is invaluable—giving tone to the
digestive organs, and strength to resist tempta

i fins RoniNsoX, Esq., Iv.ston, Md ,in a letter to Dr.
Jackson, January 9, lbf>o, said—
" My wife and myself have received more benefit from

"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.

HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many years ago. that he had by h < skill,

would be furnished to bring it into universal not.ee. wh a

Unlike young S. F Townsend's. it improves with age. an J

ment'fic principles by a seicntijic man. '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.
