CautiOn--AudaciOuS Counter
felt,

The reputation which, for many years has
attached to "Hostetters Stomach. Bitters," as
the STANDARD Tonic OF THE AGE, and the large
demand for the article, not only in the United
States but elsewhere, have provoked the Gu.
pidity of the CONTEMPLATING TRIBE, and it aas
been extensively SIMULATED and INITIATED by
unscrupuloxs sharpsrs.
The most daring counterfeit of said article
which has been attempted, has recently come
to our knowledge. The engraved steel label on
bottles containing the genuine bitters, with its
beautiful vignette of st. George and the dragon
its shield, containing a warning against coun.
terfeiters, and its note of hand for lone cent"
at the foot, signed with our firm name, has
been copied so closely, that the fraud can only
be detected on minute inspection. The dark
label is also well connterteited, and the word.
ing on both the imitation and genuine are pre-
cisely the same, the difference being simply in
the execution of the work; that of the imitation
being somewhat codTSer than the genuine.
Other counterfeits are on the market which are
in all particulars the same as described above,
with the exception of q slight difference in the
spelling of our name.
In addition to the above, these counterfeiters
have gene so TAR in some instances as TO place q
strip of paper over the cork and fasten to the
meek of the bottle, on which is n vignette, and
otherwise printed to resemble the general ap
pearanCe OF our proprietary U. ). Revenue
stamp. but upon inspection Will disclose the
absence of the figure ~, and the words "four
cents" also "Urited States Internal Revenue"
ali of which, together with additional wording
appear on our genuine stamp The public are
therefore. especially warned against these new
coUNTERFEITs, and are advised TO purchase Hos
letters Stomach Btters only of houses whose
integrity is above suspicion. The true specific

genius among us in Miss Glyn, whose Shakspear ian
readings at ST. James Hall, in the British metropo-
lis during the season OF 1866, made such sensation
at the time ana for her the universal approval
of the metropolitan journals. This gifted lady
proposes to read, or rather to enact, In full

the least efficiently mastered, her time, In the

1t is in these that Miss Glyn excels and, from her
rehearsals the fair Judgment would be that she has
literally created with new and vivid life The cha
raclers she represents In this great play, so dicut TO
perform and so peculiar In their situations Indeed,
she was esteemed by Old World critics OF the highest
order as the equal OF Mrs. Siddons in the roles she
selected, and the only artist VINO ever 1ully
