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

From Isaac Allen Esq., Commission Agent— Hereford street, Christchurch, December 6, 1883. After seven years’ experience 1 have great pleasure in testifyiug 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 n 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.

KEATING, Londe ) __________ r The Bad and Worthless ■ are never imitated ox counterfeited. This is es ' , pecially true of a family medicine, and it is 1 positive proof that the remedy imitated is of f 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 spnmg 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 tarted nostrums put up in simi lar style to H.£, with variously devise names in which the word “ Hop ’ or ’’Heps : were used in a way to induce people to believi 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” iii 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* He label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in th glass. Trust nothing else.
