I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitters and oommenced their use, and in one month we were all well, and none of us have seen a siok day since ; and I want to say to all poor men, you can keep your families woll a year with American Co.'s Hop Bitters for less than one doctor's visit will cost, I know it." — A Woekino Man. Bead. — [Advt.] The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is 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 Ho^ Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable' family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung 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 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 up m similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which . the word " Hop " or " Hops " wore used in a way to induce people to believe they werethe same. as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, on 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. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule's name blown in the glass. Trnst nothing else, l^p° Druggists and Chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits. — [Advt.]
