Consumption, Oonghs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Whooping Oongh, Sore Throat, and all affections of the Chest and Throat, BFFOTUALLY RELIEVED & CURED BAXTER'S Lung Preserver. TESTIMONIALS : From Rbv. Charles Penny— Reefton (Late of Christchurch), March 17, 1884 I am happy to sayjyour Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom 1 have had the pleasure of recommending yonr specific have spoken of it as invaluable. 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 O. F. Saltsb, Esq., Barrister and



Solicitor— Inglia’Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884. 1 have used your Pulmonic Elixir In my family for some years past, and have found It very efficacious In cheat and throat complaints.



From William Rbbd, Esq. ,’ Shipping and Customs Agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used your Lang Preserver in my family for the last fourteen years, there fore have the greatest pleasure In bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment of coughs, colds, bronchitis, orenp whoop ing cough, eta I have recommended it to my mends, who have also proved it a very palatable and speedy care for chest and throat complaints. 1 have uniformly found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver, ’ check a severe paroxysm of coughing. I shall on all occasions have great pleasure in recommending it to sufferers, as 1 con sider it a boon to mankind.



From Isa 1.0 Aun 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, eta, 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 most palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, eta So highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand. From W. B. Soon, Esq., Builder, eta, Peterborough reet, 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. I did so, and from that time I have never been without it in the house. 1 have found it to answer in every respect for coughs, colds, and sore throat, and would strongly advise those that are suf fering from such complaints to try it.

As soon as it has been i«ted and prove by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable iamuy medicine on earth, many imitations “ p “d 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 suflerihg InValids to use their stuff instead, expecting to maV» money on the credit ana name of H, B. Many others started nostrums put up in simi lar style to H. 8., with variously deviser names m which the word "Hop”.ot "Hom’T were used in a way to induce people to believe hey were the same as Hop Bitters. AH such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what then style or name is, and cspedkUy those with the word « Hop” or « Horn” m thS name or m any wav connected with or meir name, are mutations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of th»m, Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters with a bunch or cluster of green Hops On the white label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else.
