I am happy to say your 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 your 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 your 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 cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. Prom 0. P.

After seven years’ experience I have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lang 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 moat palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. feo highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply nn hand.



From W. B. Soon, 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. I did so, and from that time 1 have never been without it in the house. I 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.

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 stuff 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 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 hone 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. Trust nothing else. Druggists and ch .mists are warned against dealing in imU ions or counterfeit' 1 ’ ■ STEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDEES FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASER
