aro never imitated or counterfeited This is especially true of a family jneclicinc, 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 most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and begun to steal the notices in which the press j and the people of the country hail expressed the merits of H. U., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make moiiby 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 or cures, no mattef what their style or name is, and especially those - with the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name ov in any way connected with them ov their namo, are imitations tit counterfeits. Bowavo of them, ' . : Touch noneof them; Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with d 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 cotmter- :•• • feits. .... ••

This is one of the penalties we pay for our irregular spelling, We cannot of course be expected to remodel our spelling to suit • the Continental pronunciation of the lotters, but wo can see that there' is some little justification for the French lady (a genuine case) who, frequently discoursing of high life, pronouueed the' words so as to rhyme with fig-leaf, ■ ' At Krupp's famous ordnance factory thore are 8,500 men employed in' the . east Bfeel works.
