In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) the first dose of your Elixir proved most effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought abont that the patient resolved in the future to take no thing else. Other cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monio Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. From C. F.

I have uniformly found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver,*’ check a severe paroxysm of coughing, shall on all occasions have great pleasure In recommending it to sufferers, as I con eider it a boon to mankind. From Isaac Allen Esq., Commission Agent— Hereford street, Christchurch, December 6, 1883. 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, eta I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and moat palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. bo highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand.

KEATING, London The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is es pecially true of a family medicine, and it i positive proof (hat the remedy imitated is o 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 tryinirto induce suffering invalids to use their stun instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B Many others tailed nostrums put op in simi lar style to H.B, with variously devise names in which the word “ Hop ’ or '‘Heps 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 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 w* ; te label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in th glass.
