Story of a Postal Card. Xw&B affected with kidney and urinary Trouble— " For twelve years !" After trying all the doctors and patent medicines I could hear of I used two bottles of Bop « Bitters ;" And lam perfectly cured, I keep it ** All the timel" Respectfully, \i F. Booth, Saulsbury, Term., May 4. 1883. Bradford, Pa., May 8, 1875. It has cured me of several diseases, suoh as nervousness, sickness at the stomaoh, monthly troubles, eto. i havo not seen a Biok day m years since I took Hop Bitters. All my neighbors use them. Mrs Fannie Green. Ashberniiam, Mass., Jan. 14, 1830. I have been very sick over two years. They all gave me up as past cure. 1 tried the most skilful physicians, but they did not reach the worst part. The lungs and heart would fill up every night and distress me, and my throat w&a very bad. I told my children I should never die m peace till I had tried Hop Bitters. When I had taken two bottleß they helped me very much indeed. When I had taken two more bottleß I was well. There was a lot of Biok fo^ks bere who have Been how they cured me, and they used them and were cured, and feel as thankful as I do that there is bo valuable a medicine made. Youra truly, Mrs Julia G. Ouski.no. $3 000 Lost. " A tour to Europe that cost me 3,000 dola done " less good than one bottle of Bop Bitters ; they aIBO " cuied my wife of fifteen years 1 nervous weakness, 11 sleepleßsneßa and dyspepsia." — MrE. M, Aubarn, N.Y. Baby Saved. We are thankful to say that our nursing baby was permanently cured of a danger- ous and protracted constipation and irregularity of the bowels by the me of Hop Bitters by its nursing mother, which at the same time restored her to perfect health and strength. — The Parents, Rochester, N.Y. Prosecute the Swindlers! If when you call for American Hop Bitters tee green trvig of Hops on the white label and Dr Bottle's name blown m the bottle), the j vendor hands out anything but American Hop Bitters refuse it and shun the vendor as you would a viper ; and if he has taken your money for anything else indict him for the fraud and sue him for damages for the swindle and we will pay you liberally for the con viotion. ■ Public Notlceß. nrOWLE'S PENNYROYAL AND X STEEL PILLS FOR FEMALES quickly correct all Irregularities, and relieve the distressing symptoms so pre- valent with the sex.
