Listen to your Wife. The Manchester Guardian, June Bth, 1883 gays At one of the “ Windows ” Lookin' on the woodland ways ! With clumps of rhododendrons and groat masses of May blossoms !!! “ There was an interesting group.” It included one who had been a “ Cotton spinner,” but was now so Paralysed ! !! That he could only bear to lie ia a reclining position. This 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 abort. | And for the last five years not able to atten' 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 mrny objections to my 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 3.d. On Sunday morning I felt so stro ig I said to my room companions, “ 1 wrs sure I could “ Walk !” So star'ed across the floor and back. I hardly knew how to contain myself. I was all over the house. I am gaining strength each day, and can walk quite safe without any Stick 1” 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 “ Royal 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. 2-lth, 1883. Two years later am perfectly well.

Prosecute the Swindlers! I If when you call for American Hop Bitters {see green twig of Hops on the white label and J>r Soule's name Mown in the hott'c), 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 sue him fordamages for the swindle, and we will pay you liberally for the convicon.
