I was first attacked ]2;y,ears 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 Btretching, two years ago, I was voted into the Home for Incurables, Mauldeth Hall, flea-* tciftMersey, near Manchester, in May, 1882, a h&ne that ought to be more widely known, where poor afllicted ones have every suitable comfort and attention. lam no advocate;for anything in the shape of patent medicine, and made many objections to my dear wife's constant urging to try Hop Bitters, but finally, to pacify her, consented, " I had not quite finished the first bottle, when I ielt a change come over me.

CURIOUS CASE OP AN INVALID. _ A c&ae which has excited some interest in in Rhodes during the past ivetk 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 niedi« cine known as Hop Bitters. He formerly worked for Mr 0. W. Brierly, at iihodes House. About 13 years ago he strained himself with lifting, but little notice was taken of the same at the time, but ho graduully 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, 3o was in a helpless condition for U years. About ten weesfeffi he was persuaded to try Hop first bottle, to use his own woKplie " felt a queer sensation all over his body," and siuce then be has been mproving; lie can now feed' himself a little, put hiß arms at the top of his head, move bis legs about, but is not yet quite able to atand, 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 m bed so long a time and then outside was bo great that he could not describe his feelings. His change was so remarkable that many cer bods who had known him to be bedfast so long, and had-.heard of his great change, butwere sceptioal: about. the ■ truth of it, paid him a visit on .'Monday eveniug,— Middklon Albion, Me T, IM,
