The lungs and heart would fill up ever; night and distress me, and my throat was very bad. I told my children I should never die m peaoe till I had tried Hop Bitters. When I had taken two bottles they helped me very much indeed. When I had taken two more bottles I was well. There was a lot of sick fo^ks here who have seen how they cured me, and they used them and were cured, and feel as thankful as I do that there is ao valuable a medicine made.
