Poverty and Suffering.

"I was dragged down with debt, poverty and suffering for years, caused by a sick family 1 and large bills for dootoring. I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, \ com menced uning Hop Bitters, and m one month we were all well, and none of us have seen a siok day sinoe, and I want to say to all poor men, you can keep your families well a year with Hop Bitters for less than one doctor's visit will cost. I know it." A WORKINOtnAN.

Prosecute the Swindlers!!

If when you call for American Hop Bitters {see green tnig vf Hops on the white label and Dr Stride's name Mown m £ko bott'e), the 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 clue indiot him for the fraud and sue him for damages for the swindle, and we will pay you liberally for the convio ion.

We olip the following imortan f . testimonial from the lllawarr* Mercury^ N.S.W., on the 30th Mar oh. It needs no comment :— '< Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountain, writes to ua after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced turnout complete relief by using Sander and Bonn' Eucalypti Extract. He Bays seeing the Baid Extract advertised m the Illawarra Afercury, hJB in- tense Buffering induced him to obtain & bottle of the medicine from Mr Hosking, of this town, and that the use of it gave dim great relief at •poe. Ise states th.at between rhe 10th Maroh instant, whan he obtained the first bottle of the oxtraet, and on the 19th the use of that mediolne continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a straoger for four years, Mr Loveday writes also that he his found the Eactljpti Ex .f-t a oura fo rheumatism as well qb gravel. He requests us to publish thin information through the Mercury. We have much pleasure m oom- plying with Mr Loveday's request, whose word cannot be bo doubted, and who can havo no objeot m view other than a pure desire to be- nefit suffering humanity." — (Advt).
