B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names, in which the word " Hojo " or " Hops " were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cure 3, no matter what their stylo 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, 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 oil the white label, and Dr Soule's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists aro warned k against dealing in imitations or counterfeits.— [AdvtJ 8172 352
