I do thiamore readily In regard to Hoeiland's
Germitii Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson
because I was piejudieed against them for a
uttinber of years, under the itimies3iiin that
they were chiefly an a:coholic mixture. lam
indebted to my friend Rob't - tilinernaker, esq.,
for the removal of this prejudice by proper
tests, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long debility. The
use of three bottles of these bitters, at the-be
ginning of the present year, was followed by
eattlent relief, and resiwation to a' degree of
liodily , and-metital vigor which had , net felt
for Aix months before, and had almost dispair

conversations with his "Southern , broth

There was room in ,the South, they said,
