After seven years’ experience I have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lung Preserver,” having proved it in my family to be a specific for coughs, colds, etc., a few doses invariably subdu ing the nasty harassing cough, while re lieving the throat and chest, it does not, like other nostrums, disorder the digestive organs by inducing nausea, constipation, headaches, loss of appetite, etc. I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. So highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand. From W. B. Scott, Esq. , Builder, etc., Peterborough street, Christchurch, December 4, 1883. Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver,” for tightness in the chest.

r The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is es» pecially true of a family medicine, and it is “ positive proof that the remedy imitated is of r the highest value.. As soon as it has been i- tested and proved by the whole world that Hop , 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 Z had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stud instead, expecting to make Z money on the credit and good name, of H. B 3 Many others started nostrums put 'up in simi I lar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ’ or **Hcps ’* ' 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 what their style or name is, and especially those with the word “ Hop ” or •* Hops ” in theit name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Be* ware of them. Touch none of them. Use . nothing but genuine American Hop Bittefe, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the wl ; te label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in th glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and ch-mists are warned against dealing in im ta ions or counterfeit” TEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDEBS 1 FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH.
