Listen to YOUR WIFE. The Manchester Guardian, June 9. 1883, says: "At one of the windows looking ou the woodland ways, with clumps of rhododendrons and great masses of May blossoms, there was an interesting group. It included one who had been a cotton spinner, but was now so paralyzed that he could only bear to lie m a reclining position." Tnis refers to my case at the Home for Incurables. I was first attacked 12 years ago, with. Locomotor ■■ Ataxy (a paralytic disease of nerve fibre rarely ever cured), and was for several years barely able to get about, and for the last five years not able to attend to my business as cotton agent 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, Mauldeth Hall, Heaton Mer sy, near Manchester, m , May, 1882, a home that ought to be more widely known, where poor afflicted ones haveeverv suitable comfort and attention. lam no advocate for anything m the shape of patent medicine, and made many objections to my dear wife's constant urg'ng to ny Hop Bitters,' bufe. finally, to pacify her, consented. I had not quite finished I the first bottle when I felt a change'eome | over me. This was Saturday, November 3rd. On the Sunday morning, m dressing, I felt so, strong on my legs, I said to .my bed-room companions, "I was sore I could walk j" so started across • tbe floor and back. I hardly knew how to contain myself. I was all over the house After finishing the first bottle I had four days to wait for the second, and by the time it came I had fallea back considerably. Two days after I began to take the second, my walking came back, and^iow, as the Home are finding the Bitters mPme, I am gaining strength each day, and can walk quite safe without stick or any other support. lam no" 1 ' at my own house, and hope soon to be able to earn my own living: again. I. have been a member of tbe Manchester R al Exchange for nearly thirty years, an' as • most heartily congratulated on going into the room on Thursday last.

He formerly worked for Mr C. W. Brierly, at Rhodes House." About 13 years ago he strained himself wjth Uftipg, but little dotice was taken of thp Barpe at >Ihe time, but -he gradually grew worse and became unable to feed dress, or ,move himself m bed, becomming really helpless. He tried several Doctors, and the Royal- Infirmary hree times, but wasv^discharged incurable* He was m this helpless " condition foi 11 years. About ten weeks ago he was persuaded to try Hop Bitters. During the firstbottle, to use his own words, he '* felt a queer sensation all over his body," and since then he has been improving j He can now feid himself a little, put his ai ms »t the top of his head, move his legs about but is : not yet able to stand. He can sit up m "bed. or m a cbair fprfive or sixiho.urs, or he can raise himself up. On Monday he wasiakeii outin a fruit cart belonging to a man named Stevenson and went as far and the difference between being m bed for so long a time and then outside was so gr^at that be co«ld not desci^jbe his feeliugs. The chang' was so remarkable that many persons who had known him to be bedfast bo. long, nnd had heard of his j great change, but were sceptical about the truth of it, paid him a visit on Monday evening. — Middleton Albion* June 7, 1884.

' For two or three hours at a lime I haid to go through the . m^et. excruciating pains, and the only way lever got relief was by throwing up all my stomach contained No one can conclive. the pains I had to go through, untiil at'tast I was taken so. that . for three weeks I lay m bed.

Among the many specifics introduced to to the public for the cure of dyspepsia, in* digestion, rfeiaiigements, of various kinds,: and as a general family medicine, none have, met with such genuine V appreciation as as Hop Bitters. Introduced to this country but a'compayatively short time since to meet the g* eat demand for apure, safe, and perfect • family \ medicine, they have rapidly increased m favor, until they are without cjuwstion the most popular and. valuable; medicine' known. It is famous by reason of its inherent virtues. It does all is ilaimed, discharging its curative powers without any of thJeVil .effects . of other bitters or medicine, being "perfectly safe and harmless for tbe most- frail woman, smallest child. and ; weakest invalid to use. Few are the homes indeed. where the great discovery has not already been hailed as a deliverei and welcomed as a .friend.! It? does what others affect to do, Coniposed of simple; material s, it is a marvtl of delicate and successful combination. Nothing is wanti'-g.
