THE BAD AND WORTHLESS Are never imitated or counterfeited. 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 world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and the 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 and credit on the 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 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 imitations or counterfeits.

A Scolding Woman. —The barbarities of the ducking stool for the cure of scolding women, though abolished by law, are now oftentimes practised by a kind of social barbarity none the less reprehensible. Women scold only when they are ill. Instead of blaming them we should prescribe Hop Bitters. The entire system will undergo a genial, pleasant change. The nerves will be quieted and ascerbity of word and thought will give place to amiability and affection. Healthy women do not scold or fret. Read
