Hcoflaiid's German Bitters is well known to the iuvalid. For many years it has been in use, and its reputa tion is unimpaired. It is not claimed for it that it is competent to perform miracles, but there are many diseases and disabilities which it con retch more readily than af.y oiher known remedy , and in all such cases it is an excellent remedy. Dyspepsia, and diseases resulting from a disordered Liver, or a de rangement of the digestive faculties, come within its scope, and persons suffering from such diseases have found great relief from a fair trial of this celebrated Bitters, This remedy is not alcoholic, .contains do rum or whiskey, and cannot make drunkards. Its reputation is backed up by testimonials from many eminent Clergymen and others. Hoofland's German Tonic Is a combina tion of all the ingrediants of the Bitters, with pure Santa Crus Rum, orange, anise, &o. It is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in cases where an Alcoholic Stimulaut is neces sary. It is a preparation of rare pjedicinal value, and most agreeable to the palate.
