T Story of a Postal Card. I waß affected with kidney and urinary Trouble— " For twelve years J" After trying all the doctors and patent medicines I could hear of I used two bottles of Hop II Bittere ;" And lam perfectly oured. I keep it "All the time!" Respectfully, M F. Booth, Saulsbury, Term., May 4, 1883. Bradford, Pa., May 8, 1875. I It has cured me of several diseases, soon U nervousness, sickness at the stomach, monthly troubles, etc I have not seen a sick day m years since I took Hop .Bitters, All my neighbors use them. Mrs Faskib Gbeen. Ashburkham, Mass., Jan. 14, 1830. I have been very siok over two years. They all gave me up as past cure. I 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 wa3 very bad. I told my children I should, sever 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 bottles I was well. There was a lot of siok folks here who have seen how they cured me, and they used them and were oared, and feel as thankful as I do that there is bo valuable a medicine made. ■ Yours truly, Mbs.Jtjlu G. Gushing. $3000 Lost. w A tour to Europe that cost me 3,000 dols done " less good than one bottle of Hop Bitters ; they blbo " cured my wife of fifteen years' nervous weakness, 11 sleeplessness and dyspepsia." — Mr R. M» Auburn, N.T. 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 use of Hop Bittera by its nursing mother, which at the same time restored her to perfect health and strength. — The Parents, Rochester, N.T. Prosecute the Swindlers! If when you oall for American Hop Bitters see green tnig of Hops on the white label and Dr Soul's name blown m the bottle), the vendor handß . 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.
