Mr. Jim McNaney here is the old buffalo hunter of the ‘party. Although only 2¢ he has spent four Winters on the buffalo range and killed about 3,200 head. A buffalo would need wings to ever get away from Jim after he had once spotted it. Hie is not only the best shot of the party, but he understands the habits of the animal most thor- oughly. From frst to last on our whole trip Jim never let a buffalo get_away after once starting for it. T Delieve he would chase one to Hudson's bay before he would give up and let it escape him. And what Is more he w Tide his favorite horse Wo death after a buffalo if the occasion seemed to require it. It was a lucky thing for me when Boyd hunted Jim up at Miles City and en- geet him A 94 with us, for without him we would ave omy half as many as we finally got. ‘And this man with the handsome black mus- tache is Mr. L. 3.

For twenty-eight months he has tramped in s circle around and around his house, resting only four hours each day, and it is estimated he has covéred more space than the circumference of the globe. He has attracted. ‘Universal attention, been visited by hundreds of curi- osity seekers, and has really become a public charac- ter. His nervousness has shown iteelf in walking: other people's nervousness acts in other ways. Some- times the person is restless, trembles, hes nervous ‘sinking at the pit of the stomach. a loss of ‘sppetite, inability to sleep, forebodings, and general exhaustion. At other times irritability. peevishness, ‘and faultfinding are felt and life is a fearful trial. When ‘these things come on something must be done, or this ‘Rervousness will lead to insomnia, insanity, or desth. Many people take morphine, opium, or narcotics; but they only deaden the nerves for the time being.

GREEN B. BAUN, Com'r Internal Revenue. Washington, D. C., Sept, 24, 1884. Dear Sir—Why don't you get a certificate from Col. W. H. W., of Baltimore, showing how he cured himself of drunkenness by the help of Hop Bitters, His is a wonderful case. He is well known in Rochester, N. ¥. by all the drinking people there. He is known in this city, Cincinnati, New Orleans, New York; infact all over the country, as he has spent thousands of dollars forrum. Ihonestly believe his card would be worth thousands of dollars to you in this city and Baltimore alone, and make thousands of sober mea by inducing the use of your bitters, 3.4. W.

Having used Hop Bitters, the noted remedy for de- bility, nervousness, indigestion, etc., I have no hesita- tion in saying that it is indeed an excellent medicine ‘and recommend it to any one as a traly tonic bitters.

It allayed all that Durning thirst; took sway the appetite for liquor: ‘made his nerves steady, and he has remained a steady and sober man for more than two yeara,and has no desire to return to his cups, and I know of a number of others that have been cured of drinking by it."—From ‘Sleading B, R.
