" Brother Taylor, the answer ia very easy. I used Hop Bitters m time, and kept my family well, and saved large doctor's bills. Four shillings' worth of it kept us all well and able to work all tho time, and I will warrant it has cost you and.'moat of the neighbors £10 to £100 apiece to keep sick the same time. I fancy you'll take my medicine hereafter." See (Advt.]
