' YOUR RECOH-D. (advertisement . ) (Continued.) There nre tliose of us who have come out of the fire, those of us who are scarred and bruised, tliose who will never be what we might hare been had it not been for the accursed drink. As year after year rolls on, and brings us nearer and nearer to the end, what would we not give, brethren, could we wipe out our record! Oh, that awful record, young man! You are writing your record new, every day. You begin in the morning with a clean page, perfectly clean, and at night it is smeared, and and smudged, and blotted, when you hastily turn it over and think it is gone. No! You never can wipe out a word of your record. You never can l)lot out a stain nor erase one. No, sir! You are making your record. I What a grand thing it is to be a young man, sent out with life all before you, to make of it what you choose, just as you choose — to mould it as you will — to make your life just what you please to make it 1 < How many of you, young men, are going wrong? And you know you are going wrong. I never knew a man going wrong who was not aware of it. Going wrong! You do act hear them defend it, never — but excuse it. " Oh, young men must sow their wild oats." Yet, and they must reap too. "It will be all the same a. hundred years hence." What will? ; Two diverging lin-s go on widening to all eternity. There is no cross-cut. If you begin wrong, young man, you never can get right till you come back with bleeding feet, and torn flesh, and streaming tears, and broken heart. And many a man has died in the effort to get back. Oh, the beginning ! So many go into ruin with all of life before them. You are like a switchman, as we call him on the railway. Here come the locomotive and the train of cars freight* ed with human life, hopes, and happiness ; and your band is on that switch. You can turn that train on to the main track ; you can turn it on to the siding ; you can turn it down the bank ; but, when it has passed by, your control over it is gone for ever. Never will you have another such opportunity ; and -opportunities are passing you' day by day — day by day. By-and-by some will say, as poor Churchill did not his death-bed, "All gone! every opportunity lost ! What a tool I have been !" Young man, is that to be the end of your life, with all, its prospects and all its bright hopes H
THE BAD AND WORTHLESS are never imxtated or coun terfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole 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 every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit .and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar 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 cr 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. BeWre 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 imitations or counted feits, ;
