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 cue (sore throat) a cure was soon brought about that the patient resolved In the future to take no thing else. Other cues could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order.

The Bad and Worthless arenever imitated or counterfeited. This is es pccially true of a family medicine, and it is P i? Sl ? V t, proof the remed y imitated is of ihe highest value. As soon as it has hem i«ted and prove by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable amily medicine on earth, many imitations sprang up and began to steal the notices in winch the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suSering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to m»lr» money on the credit ana nam? of H. B. many others started nostrums put up in - lar style to H. 8., with variously deriseV names in which the word “Hop "or “Hops** were used in a way to induce people to believe hey were the same as Hop Bitters.

Beware of them. Touch none of Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters a , b “ ch °5 duster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists anj chemists are warned against dealing in imita bon* c counterfeits.
