Booth, Saulsbury, Term., May 4 1883 Bradford, Pa., May 8, 1875. It has cured me of several diseases, such as nervousness, siakness at the stomach, monthly troubles, etc I have not seen a sick day m years since I took Hop Bitters. All my neighbors U3e them. Mrs Faxme Gbeen. Ashbdsnham, Mass., Jan. 14, 1830. I have been very siok over two years. They &TI gave me op as past cure. I tried the most Skilful physicians, bnt they did not reach the ttOfßt part. The lungs and heart would nil up every night and distress me, and my throat was very bad. I told my children I should Fever die m peace till I had tried Hop fibers. When I had taken two bottles they fedped me very much indeed. When I bad tafcen two more bottles I was well. There wm a lot of eiok folks here who have seen Itow Ihey cured me, and they used them and were cured, and feel as thankful as I do that iBjOS is so valuable a medioine made. Yours truly, Mbs Julia G. CusHiK«r $3000 Lost.
