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 11. 8., and in every way trying to induce sulering invalids louse 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 devised names in which the word “ Hop ” or “Hops ” 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. Beware of them. Touch none of them. 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. Druggists and chemists are warned against dealing in imita tions counterfeits.

CHAMPION Cord Binder. FARMERS contemplating purchasing a Binder this season should first see the above machine, and carefully examine the numerous improvements. In case any Farmers have not been able to attend the trials held, some opinions of those who have used the Champion are here appended. EDWARD REECE, Agent for New Zealand. Greendale, January 2,1885. Mb E. Rbece. Dear Sir,—l am pleased to be able to inform you that since purchasing my Champion Cord Binder I have cut and tied 30 acres of grass seed, much tangled with clover and trefoil, and the machine did its work well. The relief rake and new butter are great improvements, and are indispensable for all kinds of crops. I find the machine very light draft and easily handled, well built and strong, and I think you ought to do well with the Champion.—Yours truly, G. Bidden. Burnside, January 3, 1885. Me E. Reece Dear Sir,—ln reply to your enquiry as to my opinion of the new Champion Cord Binder, tried on my farm during last harvest, I may say it was worked for days together in the heaviest and in all kinds of crops—viz , wheat, oats and barley—and in every case gave entire satisfaction. It is a very clean cutting machine, and leaves a clear stubble. The binding is equally good and reliable. It is a very strong machine, sihiple in construction, easily managed, and thoroughly practi cable. To aiyone requiring a machine, I consider it quite equal to any in the mar ket, and in some points superior. Yours truly, W. Boao. We, the undersigned farmers, haring been present at the Exhibition of the Champion 7ord Binder as made at Mr Cherry’s Farm, Eyreton, hereby express our complete satisfaction with the efficient way the grain was handled. The numer ous improvements in the machine are most invaluable, and contributed materi ally to the success of the trial.—(Signed) P.
