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. From 0. F.

The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is es pecially true of a family medicine, and it is posUive 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 everyway trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuft 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 thrir 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 Hr Soule’s name blown in th glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and ch .mists are warned against dealing in im ta ions or counterfeit l '
