wholy and decidedly immoral. The
wholesale manufacturer or merchant
stands beside the streamlet heads, and

But, to sum up, for we do not wish
to be tedious.--is not THAT IMMORAL,
which creates unnatural appetites; which
perverts the bounties of Providence;
which creates and perpetuates Idleness,
pauperism and intemperance; which
diminishes the wealth of the people;
which impairs their health and spreads
disease ; which deterioates their intel

which corrupts their morals and
fearfully increases crime; which increa

shortens many lives ; which precipi
tates multitudes into eternal death ; and
does this too by deceptions and frauds
and dishonest speculations)—He that
cannot arrive at a definite conclusion in
this matter, and who cannot instanter
render a verdict of guilty, is incapable
of reasoning. He is an idiot and can
' not tell that two and two make four ; or
else his moral sensibilities are so blunt

Let us suppose for a moment, that it

Can Po. Juno 10, 1848
Messrs. Collier & Bro
Gentleman—ln reply to your note as to the
efliict of the Oxygenated Bitters in my case. I
would say, that I have been afflicted with Dyspep
sia about nix years, and have tried many known
remedies, liut obtained no relief, until n friend
recommended the Oxygenated Bitters. * * • *
I was finally induced to procure two bottle; of
you, and I hod not taken half a bottle before I
felt its effects upon my system , and after the use
of tho second bottle, I found' nrysel in a etato of
health as unexpected as it was gratifying. To
the afflicted I have no hesitation in recommend
ing tho Bitters, as superior to any medicine I
have ever heard of for the cure of Dyspepsia.
Very Respectfully yours,
MA DSON M. LE W IS.
