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 has been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitators sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press £Tid 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 nameof H. B. Many others started nostrums pul 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 wnat theii style or name is, and especially those ■with the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. "Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists are -warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits.
