than si* days have been required to perform a complete
cure, even in the very worst cases, and on the strongest
constitutions. W'e would earnestly say to all who are
atilirted Willi this distressing disease, to get one bo* and
try them, and in all cases, two boxes are warranted to
eure, if taken according to the directions, or the money
returned.
Th ese pills not only perforin a perfect cure in three !
days, but remove the bile and create a healiliy iction of ■

A LSO,
My Vegetable Anti-Dyspepsia Filters.
This Medicine is a certain cure for Dyspepsia in its
very worst forma. Thousands of cases have been com- i
pletely cured by it within the last year, which have '
! been entirely despaired of by the regular family physi- |
cians. We do not recommend it to cure everything—we ;
recommend it to cure Dyspepsia, and the diseases origi
nating from it, and that it will cure in almost every case,
and it is recommended for nothing else. In many in
stances, even the worst of cases have been completely
cured in two and three months, but it depends somewhat '
npon the constitution of the patient. We would sav to
all who are articled with Dys|tepsia, give this medicine
a fair trial, and if it tails to do g..od, your money vviil be j
returned.
ALSO,
My Vegetable Worm Powders.
This is the most wonderful Worm Destroyer ever '
known, and at the same time, so pleasant to lake, that i
; almost every child will be fond of it. and many instances J
have been known of children crying for more after once
taking it.
This medicine is in the form of a powder, the onlv
medii trie ever used in that form, and it operates on a
principle entirely different from any other medicine ever
administered by any other physician. It i- the on IN
medicine which has no Worm-seed Oil ur Turpentine
combined with it, which is believed by all other physi
cians. to be the only two things which will destroy
worms, and these two things combined, together with
castor oil, are the active principles of all other worm
medicines, which every person w ho has ever lasted or
smelted, knows to be the most nauseous of all nauseous
medicines, and on account of which, there is generally
something added to destroy this nauseous taste, and in
order to do this, it must be something stronger than the
medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy
some of its medicinal properties. These powders are
simple and so harmless, that a child may eat a whole box
at once, and it w ill not be hurt, while at the same time,
the principle upon which it acts being different from any
thing else ever used, it will destroy all kinds of Worms '
with a certainty never equaled. It w ill not only destroy
the seal worms, or Ascarides, and long, round worms, or
Teres, but is the most effectual medicine for the destruc
tion of the Tape Worm ever known. Ten doses have
brought as many as L'l VE Tape Worms from one person
If your children have any symptoms of worms, try
these powders, and in nine cases out of ten, you will nev
er use any other. These are also warranted.
These medicines are all separate, and one for each dis
ease, and each for only one disease. They are not re
commended, as many other medicines are, to cure some
fifteen or twenty diseases, and all of different natures,
but they are each to cure bul one disease, and llat they
will do in ninety -nine cases out of every hundred, and
where they have a fair trial and fail in all cases, the
money will be returned.

'PIII-S remedy is offered to the community with the con-
J- fidence we feel tn an article which seldom fails to re
alize the happiest effects that can be desired. So wide
is the li.-IJ of its usefulness and so numerous the cases of
its cures, that almost every section of the country a
bounds ill persons, putdicly known, who have been re
stored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs, by its use. When once tried, its superiority over
every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the public
no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the dis
tressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary or
gans, which are incident to our climate. And not onlv
in the formidable attacks upon the lunge, but for the
milder varieties of Coids, Coughs, Hoarseness, &c., and
CiiiLuunx it is the pleasantest and safest medicine that
can be obtained. No family should be without it, arid
those who have used it, never will.

be recognised in the various sections of country w here

in a letter to Dr. Jackson, of May 5, lt-51. said :
"For a long time I was afflicted with general Jehihtp
and intestinal w-eakness, costiceness, for which I used
many different remedies, without change. At last I ncj
cidentallv stumbled upon Hoop,ami's German Bitters,
prepared by you. 1 took a few bottles according to di
rections, and was completely cured. I have not been so
healthy for ten years as I have been since I took your
bitters, which was about one year ago. Nome of my
neighbors are now using them, and deriving great ben
efit."
ANOTHER LETTER,
From Dr. J. C fwll.F.S, „\'eictun Hamilton, Pa , said:
"•I have used a half dozen of your German Bitters my
self, for I.iver Complaint and diseases of a nervous cha'i
acter, resulting from tile abuse of mercury. I was poi
soned and affected with spasms from the use of this lat

from which 1 obtained relief, although I have not yet
Unite recovered. All who have used this medicine of
yours speak well of it."
DYSPEPTICS AND SKEPTICS, READ.
In three-fourths of the cases of diseased Liver, Stem
ach and Nerves, the effect of Dr. Houfiand's CelebruUd
German Bitters, (prepared only by Dr. Jackson, at the
Medicine Store, 120 Arch street,) is as positive as in the
case of A. A. Kaufman, EMJ. Htad what he says I
LANCASTER, April 30, 1550.
Respected Sir: I have been for a series of years afflict
ed with Dyspepsia, Inactivity of the Liver, and Nervous
Debility. My mental powers have been so reduced as
to render me quite unfit tor the transaction of any kind
of business. After consulting many eminent physicians,
and using their prescriptions, and after using the most
popular remedies of the day, supposed to be applicable to
my case, ! always failed to have permanent relief. A
friend, with much persuasion, induced me to try a bottle
t of your celebrated Bitters. I have used one bottle, and
: '.his day commenced the second. 1 can with ■ heerfut
; ness state that it has happily improved me. My appe
| lite and spirits have astonishingly improved, and I begin
to feel as though I had grown (suddenly) ten years
j younger, and really, I am almost prepared to say that I
now consider myself calculated for any business, while,
! ten days ago, 1 would have as soon undertaken to squure
• a circle us to iiu\ e attempted it.
Yours respectfully, A A. KAUFMAN

I "Dr Hootland's German Bitters, manufactured by Dr.
