All my neighbors use them. Mrs Fankie Geeen. Abhbcbkham, Mass., Jan. 14, 1830; I have been very sick over two years. They All gave me up as past cure. I tried the most dritfal physicians, but they did not reaoh the front part. The lungs and heart would fill up every - night and distress me, and my throat was very bad. 1 told my children I should never die m peaoe till I bad tried Hop Bitters. When I had taken two bottles they helped me very much indeed. When I had token two more bottles I was well. There was a lot of sick folks here who have seen fcow they cured me, and they used them and tr&re cured, and feel as thankful as I do tbat tnere is so valuable a medioine made. Yours truly, Mrs Julia G. Gushing. $3000 Lost. fA tour to Europe tbat cost me 3,000 dols done " less good than one bottle of Hop Bitters ; they also " cured my wife ©f fifteen years' nervous weakness, 11 lieeplesßness and dyspepsia." — MrE.

We are thankful to Bay tbat our nursing baby was permanently cured of a danger- ous and protracted constipation and irregularity of the bowels by the use of Hop Bitters by its nursing mother, which at the same time restored her to perfeot health and strength. — The Parents, Rochester, N.Y.
