I was affected with kidney and urinary Trouble— 41 For twelve years I" After trying all the doctors and patent nvdicines I could hear of I used two bottles of Hop " Bitters ;" And lam perfectly cured, I keep it "All the timet" Respectfully, li F. Booth, Saulsbury, Term., May 4. 1883 \ Bradford, Pa., May 8, 1875. ' It has cured me of several diseases, suoh aB nervousness, sickness at the stomach, monthly troubles, etc. I have not seen a sick day m years since I took Hop Bitters. AH my neighbors use them. Mrs Fannie Giieen. Abebuuxuam, Mass , Jan. 14, 1830. I herve been very sick over two years. They all gave me up as past cure. I tried the most Skilful physicians, but they did not reach the twrat part. The lungs and heart would fill up every night and distress me, and my throat wbb very bad. I told my children I should never die m peace till I bad 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 Waa a lot of sick folks here who have seen how they cured me, and they used them and were cured, and feel as thankful as I do tbat there is so valuable a medicine made. Yourß truly, Mas Julia G. Ccshikq.
