BtJOTfr of a Toli&lCardr " ; I was affected with kidney and urinary . Trouble— £ II For twelve years !" After trying all the doctors and patent medicines I could hear of I used two bottles of Hop 11 Bitters ;" And lam perfectly cured. I keep it "AU the time!" Respectfully, B F. Booth, Saulsbury, Tenn.>May4. 1883. Bradford, Pa., May 8, 1875. * It has cured me of several diseases, snoh fts 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 Fannie Green. AshbußKßah, Mass., Jan. 14, 1830; 1 have been very sick over two years. They gH gave me up as past cure. I tried the most akilfal physioiane, bnt they did not reaoh the worst part. The lungs and heart would fill up every night and distress me, and my throat - was very bad. I told my children I should Bever die iv peace till I bad 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 w«b a lot of siok folks here who have seen how they cured me, and they used them and ware cured, and feel as thankful as I do that there is so valuable a medicine made. Yours truly, Mrs Julia G. Cosbin#, $3 000 Lost. " A tour- to Europe that cost me 3,000 doll done " less good than one bottle of Uopßiitera; they ako "cured my wife of fifteen years' nervous weakness, «« sleeplessness and dyspepsia."— Mr R. M.

We are thankful to say that our nursing baby waa permanently cured of a danger- ous and protracted constipation _ and irregularity of the bowels by the use of Hop Bitters by its nursing mother, which at the same time restored her to perfect health and strength. — The Parents, Rochester, N.Y.
