The Bad and Worthless are never ivpilaied or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest v.ilue. As soon ?.s 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 notice? in which the press and the people of the coun'ry had expressed the merits of 11. 13., and in , every way trying to induce sneering invalids to u e their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of 11. 13. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 13., 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 mch pre'ended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially thus: with the word “Hop” or “Hops” in their uameorinany way connected with them ir their name, arc imitations or counterfeit'. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a nuncli 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 or counterfeit;. ,
