MISTAKES AND PREJUDICE OfReligious and Temperance Journals


 Some good Religious and Temperance journals are making the mistake of declining to advertise most valuable anti intoxicating medicine, simply because 1t it called Bit ters," while the same journals are making a greater mistake by advertising some drunken whisky stuff, or nostrum, because it has some nice, fancy deceptive name, ending with ''eipe," ''tine, printed on its label, when the bottle is filled with destruction drunken ness and death If these good journals would take the trouble to ascertain how many overworked clergymen have had their lost nerve-force, brain-waste and Tagging energies restored by the use of Hop Bitters, enabling them to perform their arduous pas toral duties and preach the good sermons that they would have been totally unable to do but for this valuable medicine, and did these journals but know of the host of good Christian Tenn perance women who rely on them for their family medicine, and how many in valid homes they could make happy and what glad tidings they would send to every neigh borhood by publishing the merits of Hop Bitters, they would advertise them without money and without price. And did these Journals but know how many have been, and may be saved from forming incorporate hab- its by doctors prescribing Hop Bitters, fn- stead of beer, where the use of hops are needed, there being more actual hop strength in one bottle of Hop Bitters than in barrel or peer, any OI Iu6 O1 evil effects of beer,) they would lay aside their fear and prejudice against the word ''bitters."
 A few of the many witnesses from religi- ous and temperance sources are given be- low, who use, recommend and advertise Hop Bitters.
