Don’t use stimulants, but nature’s brain and nerve food—Hop Bitters. Beware of all except made by American Co. See

Listen to your Wife. The Manchester Guardian, June Bth, 1883, says : At one of the ‘‘ Windows ” Looking on the woodland ways ! With clumps of rhododendrons and groat masses of May blossoms !!! “ There was an interesting group.” It inchided one who had been a Cotton spinner,” but was now so Paralysed !!! That he could only bear to He in a reclining position. 1 his refers to my case. I was first attacked twelve years ago with “ Locomoter Ataxy ” (A paralytic disease of nerve fibre rarely ever cured) and was for several years barely ab'e to get about. And for the last five years not able to attend to my business, although Many things have been done for me. The last experiment being nerve stretching. Two years ago I was voted into the Home for Incurables ! near Manchester, in May, 1882. I am no “ Advocate ’’ ; “ For anything in the shape of patent ” Medicines ? And made many objections to ray dear wife’s constant urging to try Hop Bitters, but finally to pacify her— Consented !! I bad not quite finished the first bottle when I felt a change come over me. This was Saturday, November 3rd On Sunday [ morning I felt sa strong I said to my room companions, “ 1 was sure I could “ Walk !” So started across the floor and back. I hardly knew how to contain myself. I was all over the bouse. I am gaining strength each day, and can walk quite safe without any “ Stick!” Or Support. I am now at my own house, and hope soon to be able to earn my own living again. I have been a member of the Manchester “ Boyal Exchange ” For nearly thirty years, and was most heartily congratulated on going in the room on Thursday last. Very gratefully yours, John Blackburn. Manchester, (Eng.) Deo. 24th, 1883. Two years later am perfectly well. Prosecute the Swindlers!! If when you call for American Hop Bitters ( gee green twig of Uojtft on the white laid and J}r Soule's name Wmvn in the hottic), 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 else indict him for the fraud and suehim for damages for the swindle, and we will pay you liberally for the conviction.
