As soon as it has been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitten was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine oa 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 Battering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and gooa name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in simi lar style to H. 8., with variously devised names m which the word “Hop ” or “Hops

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 hamcor in any way connected with them or 4beir name, . are. imitations or counterfeits. Beware oftnem, Touch none of them. Use bat gamine American Hop Bitters, ad&aoutich or cluster of green Hops on the ! and Dr Soule's name blown in the gfr«- » Trust nothing, else.
