I keep it "All the time!" - Respectfully, 15 F. Booth, Saulsbury, Tenn.,M&y4. 1883. Bradford, Pa,, May 8, 1875. . It has eared me of several diseases, such at nervousness, sickness at the stomach, monthly troubles, etc. I have not seen a aiok day m years since I took Hop Bitters, AH my neighbors uae them. Mrs Fajjsie (Jbeen. Abhburnham, Mass , Jan. 14, 1830. I have been very siok over two years. They all gave me np as past cure. I tried the most skilful physicians, but they did not reach the Wdrst part. The lungs and heart would fill up every night and distress me, and my throat was Tery bad. I told my children I should never die iv peace till I bad tried Hop Bitters. When I had taken two bottles they Jwhped me very much indeed. When I had taken two more bottles I was well. There was a lot of sick fc^ks here who have seen Bow they cured me, and they used them and were cured, and feel as thankful as I do that there is so valuable a medicine made. Yours truly, Mbs Julia G. Cgbhing. $3000 Lost " A tour to .Europe that cost me 3,000 dole done " lees good than one bottle of fiop Bitters ; they also " cored my wife ©f fifteen years' nervous weaknesa, ? sleeplessness and dyspepsia." — Mr R.
