It contains an entirely com- bination of active vegetable ingredients to which its superiority over common Porous Plastera and ite remarkable pain-relieving, strengthening, and curative properties are due. CAUTION. To protect the public against imitations, counterfeits and fraud, we caution all pur= chasers to see that the word Capcine on each plaster is correctly spelled, and we spectally caution all against accepting worthless plasters called by similar sound- ing names when the the genuine are asked for.

The remedial properties of hops, with the herbs introduced, princinally bacbu, man drake and dandelion, bad long been known, but there had been 0 much mere stutf—aye, delete rious stuff—foisted upon the country, under ths general cognomen of ‘bitters’ and “‘remeities,”* that this medicine, which had been perfecting under the experiments of skilled pharmacentists and chemists, had to overcome the distrust of all such “remedies” bythe slow process of informa- tion, which has been so successfally done that t> day the druggist who does not embrace Hop Bit- ters in the list of his recalarly ordered medicines, orthe family that does not know its boneficial effects would be difficult to find.

The items for bottles and for packing-boxes are enormously surprising, aud those who farnixh these two articles alone have reason to rejoice at the discovery of Hop Bitters, while the myriads of sick prople who have been cured by this invalaaly remedy have greater reason to rejoice.— Noch: Evening Express.

They took hich rank from the first, and maintsined it, and are 1wore called for than al others combined. So long as they keep up their high reputation for purity and usefulness, I shall continue to recommend them—somethine I have never before done with any other patent medicine, J. J.

If Lord Byron, Shakespeare, Tennyson or Long- fellow, all of them were to write, they could not invent praises or use adjectives of sufticient philo- logical signification, nor language strong enough to express the wonderful power of Hop Bitters to cure the sick. This medicine is now so widely known as the best and purest bitters manufactured that is perhaps superfinous to write aboutit. It is justly popular.—Oswego Sun. HOME OF THE FRIEND, ‘ HESTER, N. ¥,, Sunpay, Jan. 25, 1880-10-49 Fa. Mr. ScULE— Dear Siv:—By some mistake, your note accom- Panying a dozen bottles of “‘Hop Bitters” and conveyiv« also your kind offer to supply to our large family, all of the medicine used there, was not given to me as it should fave been done, to acknowledge. At the monthly mecting held Jast week, Mrs. Shipman asked me if it had been apswered. At once the matter was stated to us, and I was directed to thank you for your generosity. The old ladies who have taken the Bitters feel built up by it already. Indeed they almest are persuaded that they have a new back-bone, £0 quickly have these old ones stiffened and straightened. To have given 80 much bappiness or comfort to these azed women, whose lives at best must be lonely, is a blessing which reacts most graciously upon ourselves. Such bread cast lovingly on life's waters, comes back at some time, and im some way. May your gifts always bring equal comfort with this, and may your reward be ture. ‘Thbapking yeu in behalf of the Board, officially, of the old ladies gratefully, and for my own sake, that Fhave been permitted to hear of improvement for once in lien of increased suffering, I am
