As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters wa§ the pureßt, best and most valuable ' family medicine on earth, many imitations ■prang 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 pood name of H. B. Many others e»arted 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 Bop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their etyle or name i», 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 preen Hops on the white libel, and Dp Soule'a name blown >n theglaes. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits. -, ,
