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 spuing 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 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 helieve 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 11 Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them, louch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a 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 iv imitatious or counterfeit!,
