The Bad and Worthless

Are never imitated or cmmterfeltud '. This is especially true of a family medicine, aud 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 waa the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began te steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. B , and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put np in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word " Hop" or " Hops" were used in a wav to indnce people to believ« they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their styl* or name is, and especially those with the word H Hop" or " Hops", in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a branch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule's name blown on the glass. Trust nothiDg else. Druggists and Chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits. For remainder of reading matter see fourth page
