A meeting of the Benevolent Society will be held in the Town Hall this evening at half-past seven o’clock, the principal business of which will be to consider the question of combining with the Hospital Committee in the matter of a separate Charitable Aid Institution, in terms of the “ Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Act ” recently passed.

Half Asleep! —“l never,” wrote a young lady to a friend, “go to church or lecture but I am half asleep, and I never know afterwards what the sermon or lecture was about.” It was a plain case of nervous lethargy, produced by want of action of the liver and digestive organs. She was persuaded to try American Co.’s Hop .Bitters, and now she writes ; “ How intelligent and bright are sermons and lectures now, and how glorious the world we live in is ! Dr. Soule’s Hop Bitters are indeed a blessing to me.” Notice

The Brazen Serpent. Like the brazen serpent that the great Jewish leader lifted high in the sight of the perishing followers, whereby they were saved from death, the discoverers of American Hop Bitters have placed before suffering, ailing mankind, a remedy which enables them to fight disease with conquering advantage.
