"I had been sick and miserable so

much trouble and expense, no one
seemed to know what ailed me," that I
was completely disheartened and dis

a bottle of Hop Bitters and used them
unknown to ray family. I soon began
to improve and gained so fast that my
husband and family thought it strange
and unnatural, but when I told them
what had helped me, they said, "Hur
rah for Hop Bitters! long may they
prosper, for they have made mother
well aud us happy." The Mother.
