Some good Religious and Temperance journals are making the mistake of declining to advertise a most valuable anti-intoxicating medicine, simply because it is called "Bitters," while the same journals are making a greater mistake by advertising some drunken, whiskey, stuff, or nostrum, because it has some nice, fancy deceptive name ending with "cine," "tine," printed on its label, when the bottle is filled with destruction, drunkenness and death. If these good journals will take the trouble to ascertain how many overworked clergymen have had their lost nerve-force, brain-waste and flagging energies restored by the use of Hop Bitters, enabling them to perform their arduous pastoral duties and preach the good sermons that they would have been totally unable to do but for this valuable medicine, and did these journals but know of the host of good Christian Temperance women who rely on them for their family medicine, and how many invalid homes they could make happy and what glad tidings they would send to every neighborhood by publishing the merits of Hop Bitters, they would advertise them without money and without price. And did these journals but know how many have been, and may be saved from forming intemperate habits by doctors prescribing Hop Bitters, instead of beer, where the use of hops are needed, (there being more actual hop strength in one bottle of Hop Bitters than in a barrel of beer, without any of the intoxicating effects of beer,) they would lay aside their fear and prejudice against the word "bitters." A few of the many witnesses from religious and temperance sources are given below, who use, recommend and advertise Hop Bitters. The President and Manage of Hop Bitters Mfg. Co. [Manufacturing Company] is a veteran Temperance advocate and worker of forty-eight years' service, every man in the Company is an active Temperance worker, and the Company spends thousands of dollars annually in Temperance and Christian work. WHAT THE RELIGIOUS PRESS SAYS. Chicago, Nov. 18, 1878. Hop Bitters Mfg. Co. [Manufacturing Company], Rochester, N.Y. [New York], Gentlemen - We did not allow anything in the line of Bitters to enter our paper that contains alcohol, but we are satisfied that your Bitters are free from that ingredient. We feel responsible for the good or bad that may be done to the families of our subscribers that are affected by our advertisements. Therefore our discrimination in your favor, and we trust that our very low rates will meet your approval and that we may hear from you. "THE LIVING CHURCH." Temperance clergymen, lawyers, ladies and doctors back up Bitters, as they do not intoxicate, but restore brain and nerve waste. -Temperance Times, Brockport, N.Y. NOT A BEVERAGE. They are not a beverage, but a medicine, with curative properties of the highest degree, containing no poisonous drugs. They do not tear down an already debilitated system, but build it up. One bottle contains more hops, that is, more real hops strength, than a barrel of ordinary beer. Every druggist in Rochester sells them, and the physicians prescribe them. -Rochester Evening Express on Hop Bitters. We are not in the habit of making editorial mention of patent medicines, but in case of Hop Bitters, feel free to do so, because their merits deserve to be known. -New York Independant. $500 REWARD - CATARRH CURE. Some people would rather be humbugged than to get "value received" for their money. Hence it is that such persons run after this and that pretended cure for catarrh, forgetting Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is so positive in its effects, that its former proprietor advertised it for years throughout the United States under a positive guarantee, offering $500 reward for an incurable case and was never called upon to pay this reward except in two cases. This remedy has acquired such a fame that a branch office has been established in London, England, to supply the foreign demand for it. Sold by druggists at 50 cents. UNABLE TO BREATHE THROUGH NOSE. Portladville, Iowa, March 11th, 1879. Dr. R.V. Pierce: Dear Sir - Some time ago I bought a Douche, some of your Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and Golden Medical Discovery and commenced to use them. The aches and pains as well as sore throat and catarrh from which I have been for as long a time a sufferer, have entirely left me with their use. I feel like a new man as well as look like one. For four years I was unable to breathe through my nose. From the use of the Catarrh Remedy I can now do so freely. Your medicines I know to be all that they are represented. Long live Dr. Pierce and the gentlemen connected with him. Gratefully yours, Watson Smith. There are prospective vacancies in the editorial force of Paris papers. Five editors have duels on hand, and the rest are hourly expecting challenges. ONE EXPERIENCE FROM MANY. I had been sick and miserable so long and had caused my husband so much trouble and expense, no one seemed to know what ailed me, that I was completely disheartened and discouraged. In this frame of mind I got a bottle of Hop Bitters and used them unknown to my 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, "Hurrah for Hop Bitters! Long may they prosper, for they have made mother well and us happy." -The Mother. AN UNUSUAL RECORD. The life of Mr. H.M. Warner, of Rochester, N.Y. [New York], was saved by the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, which now bears his name. What this wonderful remedy did for him it has done for thousands, and, we believe, will continue to do for those afflicted with kidney, liver and urinary troubles of any kind. If any reader has any organic trouble, his remedy will prove "a friend in need." J.W. Shaeffer & Co., 321 & 323 Sacramento St. [Street], San Francisco, employ no drummers. Cigars sold very cheap.
