A Wise Deacon.

“ Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell me how you kept yourself and family well the past seaHors, when all the rest of us have been sick so much and have had the' doctors visiting us so often.” “ Bro. Taylor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time; kept my family well and saved the doctors’ bills. Three dollars’ worth of it kept us well and able to wort all the time. I’ll warrant it has cost you and the neighbors one to two hundred dollars apiece to keep sick the same time.” “Deacon, I’ll use your medicine hereafter.”
