TN the, month of December, 1858; the under
signed for the first * time offered for sale to
the public Dr. J. Bowe Dads Imperial Wine
Bitters, and in this short period they have given
such universal satisfaction to the many thou
sands ofpersons who have tried them that it is
now an established article. 'The amount of
bodily and mental misery arising simply from
a neglect of small complaints is surprising, and
it is therefore of the utmost importance that a
strict attention to the least and most trilling
bodily ailment should be had for diseases of
the body must invariably affect the mind.
The . subscribers now only ask a trial of
Dr. .T. Bovee Dods' Imperial Wineßittersl
From all who have not used them. We chal
lenge the world to produce their. equal.
. These Bitters for the cure of Weak Stomachs,
General Debility, and for Purifying and Em
riching the Blood, are absolutely unsurpassed
by:any-other remedy on earth. To be assured
of this, it is only necessary to make the trial.
The Wine itself is of a very superior quality,
being about one-third stronger the other wines;
warming and invigorating the, whole system
..from the head to the feet. As these bitters are
tonic and alterative in their character, so they
strengthen and invigorate the whole system
and give a fine tone and healthy action to all
its parts, by equalizing the . circulation, re
moving obstruetiomi, and producing a general
warmth. They are also excellent for inseams
and Weakness , peculair to. Females , where a
tonic is required to strengthen and brace the sys
tem. No lady, who is subject to lassitude and
faintness, should' be without them, as,they are
revivifying in their action.
These Bitters willmot only cure, but prevent
disease, and in this respect are doubly valua
ble to the.person who may use there.
For incipient Consumption.

DR. DODS'
CELEBRATED - WM BITTERS
ARE UNSURPASSED I
,
For Sore Throat, so common among the
Clergy, they are, truly valuable.
For the aged and infirm, and for persons of
a weak constitution—for Ministers of the' Gos
pel, Lawyers; and all public speakers—for
Book=Keepers, Tailors, Seamstresses,Students,
Artists, and all persons leading a sedentary
life, they will prove truly beneficial.
As a Beverage; they are wholesome, inno
cent, and delicious to the taste. They produce
all the exhilarating effects of Brandy or Wine,
Without intoxicating; and are a valuable rem
edy for persons addicted to the use of exces
sive strong drink, and who wish to refrain
from it. They are pure and entirely free from
the poisons contained in the adulterated Wines
and Liquors with which the country Is flooded.
These Bitters not only cure, butpreoent Dis
ease, and should be used by all who live in a
country where the zoter'l.4'^had,.-or—where
• ~...4r, l are prevalent. Being en
. and harmless, they may be giv
en freely to Children and Infants with im
punity.
Physicians, Clergymen, and tetimerance ad
vocates,
as . an act of humanity; should assist
in spreading these truly valuable Bitters over
the land, and thereby essentially aid in ban=
ishing Drunkenness and Disease.
In all affections of the Head, slick Heatlathe, or
Nervous Headache, Dr. Dada' Imperial Wine
Bitters will be found to be most salutary and
efficacious. —.__..
FEMALES.
The many certificates which have been tou
red us, and the lettere which we are daily
eiving, are conclusive proof that among the
men these Bitters have given a satisfaction
'eh no others have ever done before. No
)man in the land should be without them,
' those who once use them will not fail to
a supply.

fearing lest the ministers in his profane
