Thousands fastened to their Graves

Relying on testimonials written in
vivid glowing language nf some nirac-
ulous cures made BY some largely pulled
up doctor or patent medicine has hast
ened thousands to their graves; believ-
inc in their almost insane faith that the
same miracle will he performed on them
and that these testimonials make the
cures, while the so called medicine is al
the time hastenirg them to their graves
We have avo dea publishing testimonials
as they do not make the cures, although
we have
THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS
of :hem, of the most wonderful cures,
voluntarily sent Us. 1t is our medicine.
Hop Buffers that makes the cures I
has never failed and never can. We will
give reference to any one for any disease
similar to their own If desired, or will
'efer to any neighhor, as there is not a
neighborhood IN the known world bui
can show its cures bv Hop Bitlers.
Losing JOKE.
A prominent physician of Pittsburgh
said to lady patient who was CON-
planning OF her continued i'll health, and
OF his inability to cure her, jokingly
said: "Try Hop Bitters" The la'ly
took it in earnest aud used the Bitters,
from which she obtained permanent
health. She now laughs at the doctor
for his joke, but he is not so well pleased
With it, as it cost him good patient. =
FEES OF DOCTORS.
The fee OF doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in. We be-
Iieve the schedule for visits is $500,
which would tax a man confined 10 his
bed for a year, anil in need OF q daily
visit, over 81 .000 year for medical at
tendance slone! And one single bottle
of Hop B;tters taken in time would save
the $1,000 and all the years sickness.
LADY's WISH
."Oh, how ] do wish my ekin was as
clear and so't as yours" said lady t.
her friend. "You can easily make it Sc"
answered the friend. "How.2" inquired
the f,st lady "By using Hop Bitters
that makes pure, ich blood and bloom
ing health. 1t did it for me, as you OBJ
serve"
GIVEN CP BY THE DOCTORS.
"1s it possible that Mr.. Godfrey Is up
and at work, and cured by SO simple q
remedy2 ?"
81 assure you II is true that he is en-
tirely cured, and with nothing but Hop
Bisters, and only ten DAYS ago his doc.
tors gave him up and said he. must die,
from Kidney and Liver troubled"
