“You never saw my hands as dirty as

but your ma did,” was the ready reply. 
A German, lately married, says: “ Id vas

New Bloomfield, Miss.. Jan. 2,1880, 
1 wish to say to vou that I have l>e«n suffering for 
the last five years with a severe Itohteg all over. I 
have heard of Hop Bitters and have tried Itv I have 
used up four bottles, and it has done me more good 
than nil the doctors end medicines that thev LOiiUl 
tist* n?i or withUM»» lam old and poor, l>ut feel to 
bless > ou for such a relief by your 
torment of the doctors. I bare had fl doctor* at 
me. One gave me seven ounces of solution of arsenic, 
auother took four quarts of blood from me. All they 
could tell was that it was skin sickness. Now after 
,be»e four bottles of your medicine, my skin is well. 
clean and smooth as ever. HENRY KNOCHE. 
Answer this,--I s there a person living who ever 
saw a case of ague, biliousness, nervousness, orneu- 
ralinn, or anv disease ot the stomach, liver, or kid 
neys that Hop Bitters will not cure?_

K BALSAM! 
Is undoubtedly the most val- 
^ *jg|«u ;i ble and reliable Yeteri- 
nary Remedy ever discover¬ 
ed. It has superseded the Actual Cautery 
or hot iron; produces more than four times 
the effect of a blister; takes the place of all 
liniments, and is the safest application ever 
used, as it is impossible to produce a scar 
or blemish with it. It is a powerful, ac¬ 
tive, reliable and safe remedy that can be 
manipulated at will for severe or mild ef¬ 
fect. Thousands of the best Veterinarians 
and Horsemen of this country testify to its 
many wonderful cures and its great practi¬ 
cal value. It is also the most economical 
remedy in use, as one tablespoonful ot 
Caustic Balsam will produce more actual 
results than a whole bottle of any liniment 
or spavin cure mixture ever made. Price
