CURIOUS CASE OF AN INVALID.

A case which has excited some interest in Rhodes during the past week is that of a man named John Thompson, of Church Street, who has had a wonderful partial recovery of the use of his limbs by a medicine known as Hop Bitters. He formerly worked for Mr C. W. Brierley, at Ehodes House About 13 years ago he strained himself with, lifting, but little notice was taken of the same at the time; but he gradually grew worse and became unable to feed, dress, or move himself in bed, becoming really helpless. He tried several doctors, and the Royal Infirmary three times, but was discharged incurable. He was in this helpless condition for 11 yeai's. About ten weeks ago he was persuaded to try Hop Bitters. During the first bottle, to use his own words, he "felt a queer sensation all over his body," and since then he has been improving; he can now feed himself a little, put his arms at the top of his head, move his legs about, but is not yet quite able to stand. He can sit up in bed, or in a chair for five or six hours, or he can raise himself up. On Monday he was taken out in a fruit cart belonging to a person named Stevenson, and went as far- as Prestwich, and tho difference between being in bed for so long a time and then outside was so great that he could not describe his feelings. His change was so remarkable that many persons who J | had known him to bo bedfast so long, and j had heard of his great change, but were j I sceptical about the truth of it, paid him a visit on Monday evening.—Middleton Albion June 7,1884. I Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 6,1882. Ho Bitters Co.: I am 74 years old, have lircd 34 years in Philadelphia, and well known among Germans. I have been troubled 12 years with a white swelling on my right foot, and getting worse every year, and very painful, and breaking out in hot weather. I consulted several doctors and they told me it was incurable and I would have to take it with me to the grave. Some time ago I lost ray appetite, was costive, had headache, and fever, in fact was very sick. I saw in the German Democrat that Hop Bitters was what I needed. I got a bottle, took it one week and was as well again as i ever, and to my greatest surprise right from the first, my swelling went down gradually, and taking another bottle got entirely well of it. i'he wife of my neighbour had two such swellings on her legs, and three bottles cured her. I think this is a great triumph for your bitters. John Stoll, JIo. 4 Young's Alley, above Willow Street.

Allston, Boston, Mass., Aug. 14. '33. Hop Bitters Co. &■ Gents:—Having experienced avreat deal of trouble from indigestion, so much so that I came near losing my life. My trouble always came after catiug any food, no matter how light and digestible it was. For two or three hours at a time I had to go through tho most excruciating pains, and the ODly way I ever got relief was by throwing up all my slomach contained. No one can conceive the pains I had to go through, until at last 1 wr.s taken so that for three weeks I lay in bed.- J Could eat nothing. ,My sufferings were so that I called in two doctors to see if they could give me something that would stop the pains, but their efforts were of no good to me. At last I read a good deal about Hop Bitters, and determined to try them. Got a bottle—in four hours I took the contents of one. Next day I was out of bed, and have not seen a sick hour from the same cause since. I have recommended it to hundreds; you have no such advocate as I am. .* * . * ' Geo. Kendall.

The above testimonials are from among thousands received. Among the many specifics introduced to the public for the cure of dyspepsia, indigestion, derangements of various kinds, and as a general family medicine, nono have met I with such genuine appreciation as Hop Bitters. Introduced to this country but a comparatively short time since, to meet the great demand for a .pure safe, and perfect family medicine, they have rapidly increased in favor, until they are without question tho most popular and valuable medicine known. It is famous by reason of its inherent virtues. It does all that is claimed for it. It discharges its curative powers without any of the evil effects of other bitters or medicine, being perfectly safe and harmless for tho most frail women, smallest child, and weakest invalid to use. Few are the homes indeed where tho i great discovery has not already been hailed as a deliverer, and welcomed as a friend. It does what others affect to do. Composed of simple materials, it is a marvel of delicate and successful combination. Nothing is wanting. Every ingredient goes straight to the mark at which it is aimed, and never fails. Pleasant to the palate, agreeable to. the stomach, and thoroughly effective as a ' cure, it has won for itself the confidence of all. ! Hop Bitters are used in Six of the Large London Hospitals and similar Institutions throughout the world, and are the Purest { and Best Medicine eyev made,
