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 Avord “Hop” or “Hops” Avere used in a Avay to induce people to believe they Avere the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter Avhat their style or name is, and especially those with the Avord “ Hop ” or “ Hops ” in their name or in any Avay connected Avith them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. BeAvare of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, Avith a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the Avhite label, and Dr. Soule’s name bloivn in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists are Avarned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits. Robin hood company's MELBOURNE CUP AND N.Z. METROPOLITAN MEETING PROGRAMME.
