KEATING, London 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 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 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 stun instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B Many others started nostrums put up in simi lar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop * or '’Hops ’* were used iu 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 their 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 Bitters, 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'’
