"Maryland, My Maryland."

* * * Pretty Wives, " Lovely daughters and noble men." " My farm lies in a rather low and miasmatic situation, and

" My wife ! "

f " Who was a very pretty blonde ! " Twenty years ago, became "Sallow!" "Hollowed-eyed!" "Withered and aged!" Before her time, from '• Malarial vapours, though she made no particular complaint, not being of the grumpy kind, yet; causing me great uneasiness. " A. short time ago I purchased your remedy f"r one of the children, who had a very severe dtack of biliousness, and it occurred to me that he remedy might help my wife, as I found that tur little girl, upon recovery had "Lost!" " Her sallowness, and looked as fresh as a new blown daisy. Well the story is soon told. My *ife, to-day, has gained her old-timed beauty with compound interest, and is now as handsome i matron (if I do say it myself) as can be found .11 this country, which is noted for pretty women. \nd I have only Dr Soule's American Hop Bitters to thank for it. "The dear creature just looked over my shoulder, and says * I can flatter equal to the days ">i our courtship,' and that reminds me there •uight be more pretty wives if my brother farmers would do as I have dose." Hoping you may long be spared to do good, I vhankfully remain,

C. L. James, Beltsville, Prince George Co., Md., May 26th, 1886.
