THE PENJ DEH INCIDENT.

SIR TETER LUMSDEN'a GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST GENERAL KOMAROFF The lollowing telegram was sent by Lieutenant-General Sir Peter Lumsden to Earl Gr&Tiville, and relntes to the fight between the Russians and the Afghans at A k-Tepe.— Tirpul, April 17. Your Lordship's telegram uf loth G-eneral Komarnff's account of attack on Penj deh is considered incorrect : General Komaroff says: "On March 25 one detachment approached Tash Kepri on our bsnk of Kushk." Keply: General Komaroff 's claim to either bank of Kushk is un tenable. The left bank of Kushk has always been held by Afghans, and was never in Russian occupation.

THE B^D AND WORTHLESS are never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it iB positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as It had been tested and proved by the who'e world that Hop Bitters was the purest, beau, and most valuable family mediciDe on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the noticep in vrnich the press and tho people of the country had expressed the merits of ti, 8., and In every way trying to induce Fuffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others st.irttd nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the wf r 1 "Hop" or "Hops" were used in n way to in Juce pcopl? to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters, All Buch pretended remedies or cures, no matter what the ; r Btyle or name is, and especially those with tho word " Hop " or " Hops " in thoir name, or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Bewaro of them. Touch none of them, Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a cluster of green Hops on the white label, and "Or Soule's name blown in the glaaa. Trust nothing else.

W ickbd fob Clergymen — "I believe it to be »)1 wrong and even wicked for clergywen or other public men to be led Into Riving testimonials to quack doctors or vile stuffs called modicines. but when a really meritorious article is made up of common valuable remedies Known to all, and that all physicians use and trust in daily, we 6hou'd freely commend it.
