Da. GEO. B. GREEN .--Dear feel it not
only a pineal 6, but a duty, to make known td
you and to the public, (if you desire it.) the our;
prising effects of the " Oxygenated Bitters," hi'
relieving me from that most discouraging dim',
der, Dyspepsia. I have been afflicted for about
seventeen yealq *ith the usual atterident syrnp:
tome, vii: constipation of the bowels, headache,
pain in the chest, flatulence acidity of the stem;
ach, and severe titmice ; and for months at a timd
not th'e least particle of moisture would apnea(
on the surface of the chest or limbs, end most
of the time I was extremely billets. I have used'
various remedies, have been strict in my diet,'
have been dosed with calomel and emetics day
after day by physicians, but all to no gucd put. ,
pose. Hearing of the wonderful effects of the .
"Oxygenated Bitters," in the cure of Dyspepsia.'
I procured sonic as a last resort , have used four
bottles of the medicii e, and find the bad symp;
tome all removed, and myrelf once more in the .
'enjoyment of health. None but the Dyspeptic
sufferer, who has felt a'l the horrors of the die
ease, can at all appreciate the value of the medi
cine. I most sincerely hope that all will make
trial of the medicine, and with me be able to re.'
jotce in the return of health.
Lady Cured of Neuralgia.

WI wnson, Vt.,Aug.8,1846.
DEAR SIR :—lt gives me great pleasure to in- -
form you that the 0:3 genated Bitters," with'
which you furnished my wife, has wrought a
cure in her case. About two years since, my
wife was violently attacked with neuralgia in'
the face, through the chest, in the wring and'
ankles. So violent was the disease, added to a
general derangement of the female system, that
her strength was completely prostrated, her flesh
wasted, and she rendered miserable indeed. I
feel grateful for the restoration of her health, and'
in duty bound to give publicity to the above
facts, that others similarly afflicted may know
where to seek for cure. Truly your friend,
THOMAS KIDDER.
From Hon. .41YROX LiIWREXCE,.
of .Mass.
"For some twenty years I had suffered
ly from humoral Asthma. I was compelled to'
sit up one-third of the night, and the rest of the
time my sleep was interrupted by violent fits of
coughing and great I.llffiel Ity of breathing.
ell my attendance upon our courts I never went
to bed in Northampton in twenty years but twice;
and then was compelled to get up. Now I lie
in bed without difficulty, and sleep soundly.
took the Oxygenated Bitters," according to'
directions. The violent symptoms immediately
abated, and perseverance in the use of the rem- ,
edv has removed all its troublesome consequen
ces. rhe value of such a remedy is incalculable,
and I hope its virtues may be widely diffused and
its beneficent agency extensively employed."
