The recent sudden death of General George B.
Mcclellan, and many other prominent men, of
supposed heart disease, brings the subject of sud-
den deaths very forcibly before the community.
When any man or woman dies without warning, 1t
has commonly been called heart disease. Such
thing is absurd. More men die from sudden
breaking down of life force in one week than die
from heart disease in a year And the army of
those who do not die, but who suffer on and to
whom life is a burden, is still greater To show
our readers how true this is have collected the
following facts
Mr.. A. P. Hathaway, of the firm of Hathaway &
Woods "a Commerce street, one of the best
known firms in Boston, said 81 have felt terri
BILE depression of spirits during the past year, and
at times it seemed almost as thought must give up
altogether. Knowing that the most sudden deaths
come When the body is in this condition, I became
somewhat alarmed and sought a means of relief.
I used Hoptonic about which we are hearing so
much OF late, and must say it did wonders. l am
not only in perfect health but more vigorous than
before My wife also tried it, and it was equally
valuable to her. She says OF all the medicines she
ever tried for general or special troubles, none
Mr. James f. Gay, the well known and popular
freight agent of the Boston & Albany Railroad, has
experienced the same feelings of physical depreS-
sion which are becoming so alarmingly common
In speaking of his experience he said;
Il consider the introduction OF Hoptonlc one Of
the greatest blessings New England has had.

cost So bottle. My sister, who has been an inva-
lid for years and was given up by the doetors has
been restored by its use, and takes 1t as regularly
as she does her food. wish every man woman
and child could know Of the valuable and health
giving properties of Hoptonic."
Mr. Robert G. Murray, No. 976 Washington
street and former member Of the Legislature
stated that his wife had used Hoptonic with the
best possible results Whenever she had been
tired by reason of Oyer-eXerti0n any other cause
she had found it wonderfully restoring. He most
cordially commended it,
Mr.. Thomas Keleher, proprietor of the Hotel
Winthrop. has been making some radical repairs
on his attractive hotel and now has one OF the
finest and most homelike hotels in New England
The poet Whittier always makes the winthrop his
home when in Boston, and all his malls come
there. Mr.. Keleher said:
"The care and labor incident to remodelling

time was afraid l should be compelled to give

also very fortunate. | commenced terrifying my
self with Hoptonic, and the change was wonderful.
That medicine was better to me than sea vow

keep so, now that have found the way"
Mr.. Thomas j. Barry, counsellor-atlaw AS Con-
gress street. who is yice-presdent of the city
Democratic committee, IN answer to an inquiry
said: "The cares of business and overWork great
ly reduced me. and found 1t necessary TO assist
nature with something reliable / am happy to
say that after a faithful trial, have been won

ties are certainly most valuable for oyerworKed
men or women"
Every careful observer and thinker must have
been overwhelmed by the increase OF sudden sick
ness and death which is going on in our midst. LII
is frightful. To successfully meet this has been
the aim Of physicians, the solicitude of friends
The statements which appear above are not from
unknown sources, but from our best citizens and
dy Of which they speak. Suffering and death will
continue, it Is true; but both may be postponed,
and the wise ones are those who intelligently use
the best and most approved means Tor retaining
health and prOlOnging life.
