Vital Questions!

Ask the most eminent physician
or any school what is the best thing in
the world for quieting and allaying all ir-
ritation of the nerves and curing all
forms of nervous complaints, giving nat
ural, childlike, refreshing sleep always,
And they will tell you unhesitatingly
"Some form of Hops"
CHAPTER I.
Ask any or all of the most eminent
physicians
"What is the best and only remedy
that can be relied on to cure all diseases
as Bright's disease, diabetes, retention or
inability to retain urine and all the dis
eases and ailments peculiar to women"
"And they will tell you explicitly and
emphatically, Buchu."
Ask the same physicians
"What is the most reliable and surest
cure for all liver diseases or dyspepsia,
constipation, indigestion, biliousness, ma
larial fever, ague, &c." and they will tell
you
Mandrake or Dandelion.
Hence, when these remedies are COM
bined with others equally valuable
And compounded into Hop Bitters,
such wonderful and mysterious cura-
tive power is developed which is so va
ried in its operations that no disease or
i'll health can possibly exist or resist its
power, and yet it is
Harmless for the most frail woman
weakest invalid, or smallest child to use.
CHAPTER II.
Patients
Almost dead or nearly dying
For years, and given up by physicians, ol
Brights and other kidney diseases, liver
complaints, severe coughs (called con-
sumption), have been cured.
Women gone nearly crazy
From agony of neuralgia, nervousness
wakefulness, and various diseases pecu'
liar to women.
People drawn out of shape from excru-
ciating pangs of rheumatism,
Inflammatory or chronic, or suffering
from scrofula,
ErysipelaS,
Salt rheum, blood poisoning, dyspepsia, indges
tion, and in fact almost all diseases frail
