CURIOUS CASE OF AN INVALID.

A case which has excited some interest in Khodes 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 0. W. Brierley, at Rhodes Honse. 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 Eoyal Infirmary three times, but was discharged incurable. He was in this helpless condition for 11 years. About ten weeks ago he was persuaded to try Hop Bitters. During the first bottle, to use his town 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 awns 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 the 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 tad known him to be bedfast so long, and "bad heard of his great change, but were sceptical about the truth of it, paid him a visit on Monday evening.—Middleton Albion June 7,1884.

Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 6,1882. Ho Bitters Co.; I am 74 years old, have lired 34 years m 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 sevewl doctors and they told me it was incurable and I would have to take it with me to the grave. Some time ago j ,'ost my appetite, was costive, had headache, and ■ feve *, i'l facfc was very sick. I saw in the German Demo «rat that Hop Bitters was what I needed. I got a bott.'e, took it one week and was as well again as ever and to my greatest surprise right from the first, mv swelling went down gradually, and taking another bottle got entirely well of it. The 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, Mo. 4 Young's Alley, above Willow Street.

Allston, Ttoston, Mass., Aug. 14. '83. I Hop Bitters Co.: Gents:— Having experienced a|great deal of trouble from indigestion, so much so that I came near losing jny life. My trouble always came after eating any food no matter how light and digestible it was. For two or three hours at a time I had to go through the most excruciating pains, and the only way I ever got relief was by throwing up all my stomach contained. No one can conceive the pains I had to go through, until at last I was taken so that for three weeks I lay in bed. Could eat nothing. .My sufferings were so that I called in two doctors to see if they could give me something that>vould 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.
