Mulhall shows,the extraordinary growth of the English language . between 1801 and 1880 English was spoken in 1801 by 22 rail- 1 - lions ;'in 1880 90 millions ; !or 300 per cent increase. - German inlßolby 30 miillionsj in 188 ft GO millions; or, 100 per qent increase. ; French in 1801 fry.

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS : Are wrer imitate or yhMtjtei,: Thi* is especially.of a fpily medicino, 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 valuab e medicine on earth, many imitations sprang up and' began to steal the notices in which the , press and people of the country had dx- / pressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying ,to induce Buffering invalids . to use their stuff instead,' expecting to make money.on tho credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in 1 similar style to H, 8., with variously devised names in which the. word " H*op" or" Hops" were uied in a, way to induce people ta that they. were the wnpe as, Hop Bjt%. AH V..; pretended remedies, no, matter' What'> ; their- style or name is, and especially , those with tho word "Hop" or " Hops'* f in their name, or in any way conneoted ' with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits, Beware of them. Touch none of them. , Uso nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a cluster of;. green Hops on tho white label, and Dr Soule's name blown in the glass.
