' Poverty and Sotbbking.— " I was dragged down with debt.poverty, and suffering for years, caused by a aick family and large bills for doctoring, which did thorn no good. I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitters and commenced their use, and in one month we were all well, and none of us have seen a sick day since ; and I want to say to all uoor men, you can keep your familiea well a year with Hop Bitters for less than one doctor's visit will cost. I know it."— A Workixq Man". Read. " Sixpence a day, spent six days a week for beer, is £7 16s 6d yearly. "Is that true P" said a man the other night to a member of the Blue Ribbon Army—" is that true, for I don't understand much about figures?" "Of course ii is," was the reply, " and if you only put away sixpence a day it would buy , you a good suit of clothes and your wife a good dressy, every year." "Where could I get clothes with#tW* paying cash down?" eagerly in^ui&d the -man.--"Why, from Munro and Milligau, the jpfpular tailors of Hobson-street, who are always ready to help those who will help thorns-elves ; and they have just received a fresh stock of winter cloths, as well as a supply of dress material. Go and see the goods." The following romantic and thrilling incident which lately occurred in the King Country, was only recently divulged to us: The principal actor in the affair did not wish to become the lion of the hour. It was on a colddreary, raw afternoon, with a dull drizzling rain/antt cloudy atmosphere, that mado the day look as if it had gone into mourning for the loss of the sun. A weary traveller was seen wending his way along the path that led to the far-famed, tut much-feared, King Country. Suddenly the traveller paused and listened. Surely his ears had not deceived Mm. Was that tho dreaded Te Kootian war troops he heard ? It waa. There was no mistaking the terrible " Houp-la Faughaballagh." Another minute, and the mud bespattered tribe were on him. "Oh ! take my life," he cried, " but spare my unmentionables, for they are the only articles of civlized ' respectability that I possess ; and they were made at , the New Zealand Tweed Company establishment in Queen-street, under the management of famed Joe Moses— and the redoubtable Jaggs, from Poole, of Loiidon, designed them." Those worls saved his life." Among the many specifics introduced to the public for the cure of dyspepsia, indigestion derangements of vaaious kinds, and as a general family medicine, none have met 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 queathe most popular and valuable medicine known. Its woi-ld-wide renown is not due to the advertising it has received ; it is famous by reason of its inherent virtues. It does ali that is claimed for it. It discharges its curaoive properties without any of the evil effects of other bitters or medicine, being perfectly safe and harmless for the most frail woman, smallest child, and ' weakest invalid to use. Few are the homes indeed where the great discovery has not been hailed as a . deliverer and welcomed as a friend. It doea what others affect to do. Composed of simple materials, it is a marvel of delicate and saccessful 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.— The Times, London, Eng.— The demand for the great American remedy in this part of the world has become so great that tho Hop Bitters Co., whose headquarters are at Rochester, .New York, U. S. A., have been compelled to .open a laboratory in Melbourne. It'" will be in charge of Mr M. H. Van Berg, a gentleman of many years experience with this company and the trade may be assured of receiving goods equal to the parent house, and the most courteous treatment. The H. B. Co., have establishments in London, Paris, Belgium, Holland and Canada, and their bitters are the ■ best known medicine in the world. m
