I do this morc,readily in regard to Iloofland's

because I was prejudiled against them for a

they were chiefly an a cnholic mixture. lam
indebted to , my -friend Ito IA Shoetriaker,
for the removal of this prrjudice by, proper
tests, and for encouragement to try tht m, when
aufferiag from great and long debility. The
Joe of three.bottles of these bitters, at the be
giiining of the present year. was followed by
eit/dent relief, and restormion to a degree of
bodily and mental vigor which I had not fe t
foraix months before, and had almost dispair
ed.of regaining. 1 therefore thank God and
tny friend for directing me to the use of them.
