The Bad and Worthless
are never imitated or counterfeited. This ib especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations Bprang up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce Buffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put, up in similar style to H. 8., with variously-devised names in which the word "Hop" or "Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word "Hop" or " Hops " in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, arc imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them.
