TESTIMONY FROM NO. CAROLINA.
Certificate of Dr. W. SMITH, of Pint Hill,

PlSte tliii. March 4th, 18-31.
Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia Dear
Sir I have been a subject of Dyspepsia, in
its worst form, for the last five years. Such
was my condition for twelve months that
the physicians and all who saw nie said I
ttust die. While in this condition I was
carried to the watering places in Virginia)
Tennessee and North Carolina, but was not
benefitted by any water to which was ta
ken. r,While on my way home I stopped at
Kutlierfordton, a small village in North Ca
iViina, to try the effect of some Chalybeate
water in that place. About the last of the
"week I went into a drug store to get some
medicine for my child niid myself. There
W'.to Eoverul of the village physicians in the
ftorc, and one of them seemed to take some
interest in my case, and, after asking me
8ome questions, said he had been a dyspe; e
tic, and had been greatly benefitted by the
use of "Dr. Hoc-flan's German Bitters,"
T' epared by you, and . he insisted that I
"oold try the Bitters, ' IIe, also, called the
next (lay at my room and insisted so much
that I would try them that I asked him to
get mo one bottle. He did it, and I com
menced taking it as directed, and I do say
I was more benefitted by it than all the wa
ter aud medicine I had ever taken.
Dr. It. Hooker, Rogers' Store, Wake Co,
N. C, Oct, 24j 1753, says: "Having expe.
riciiccd very great benefit from the use of
Hooflind's German Bitters,' in Chronic
Dysentery and functional derangements of
the Liver and its concomitant evils, I am de
sirous of obtaining a quantity of it for the
benefit of my community. You will, there
fore, please send a lot, &c. &c."
Tlnse Bitters are entirely vegetable,
they invigonte and strengthen the systcm
nevcr prostrate it, and can be used for in
tents as well as adults.

tirely failed to do. 'Iloofland's German
Bitters' have cured me of the most tiubbo rt
and aggravated case of the Pilss that, per
haps, ever fell to Ike lot of man. My case is
not a stranger to this community, at I am
well known in thia and the-arroundin
tions, as I had tried erejy thing recommend
ed, and nothing . did me any good until I
was prevailed upon upon to try the Bitters,
You are at liberty to make any use of this
communication, for the benefit of the afflict
ed, you may think proper. Truly yours,
WILLIAM j ATWOOD.
After reaching home, one of my neighbors
came to me for a prescription and medtcine
! (he a dyspeptic), and I gave him nearly all
the Bitters I had left; which effected much
good in his case. , He has often? -called oa
! ine for more of the same kind of medicine,
saying he Vras more benefitted by it than any
' other he had taken, but I hate not beta fcbla
i to get any more for bim 0l" myself 6JBfi
