Public Notices; Caution. SOME unscrupulous firms are trying to force on the New Zealand people a Nostrum, under the cloak that It is made In the United States— WHICH IS NOT TRUE. Under this pretence they are trying to deceive the Public and Incautious Purchasers into the belief that they are the Genuine AMERICAN HOP BITTERS. We wish to warn all honest and unsuspecting people against this DECEPTION, and to call the attention once more to the facts that the Genuine American Co.’s Are put up In Sqnre, Panelled, Ambercolored Bottles, with White Label on one side, printed in Black Letters, and Green Hop Cluster; and, on the other side, bellow Label, with Directions In Red Letters, in English and German, and the name of “Dr Soule" blown In every Bottle. This is the only form In which Genuine AMERICAN HOP BITTERS are put. SHB ORTON RACING CLUB. AUTUMN MEETING. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, MAY 13 AND 14, 1886, President—E. G. Wright.
