Benefactors.

When board Of eminent physicians and
chemist announced the discovery that by
combining some we'll known valuable rem
edies, the most wonderful medicine was
produced, which would cure such a wide
range of diseases that most all other rem
edies could be dispenses with, many were
sceptical; but proof of its merits by actual
trial has dispelled all doubt, and to-day
the discovers of that great medicine, Hop
Bitters, are honored and blessed by all as
benefactors.

offers to send the ingredients for S. has
been exposed in Philadelphia. His
room was Uttered with letters that had
inclosed money and two women were
hard at work getting circulars and
packages of the nostrum ready for
mail. The peculiar wickedness of
this swindle lay in the character of
the mixture sent, of which a physi
clan said: This wonderful remedy
is virtually hasheesh, the primary ef-
feet of which is exhilarating. but its
continued use is highly injurious
and debilitating. The system of a
weakly patient once accustomed to its
use must have it, or. cessing to use 1t,
will rapidly fail. In other W ords, its
hsbitusl use is almost, II not quite, as
pernicious as the opium habit"
