mence an engagement at the Opera house

ed to witness some especially good acting.
This evening she will appear in Lied As
tray" characterized by an exchange as
one of the most successful plays of the
emotional dramatic school of the period.
Miss Eytinge is lady of culture, and her
representations are STRANGELY dramatic and
artistic, she being one of the best and most
versatile artists of the day.
OF Miss Eytinge an exchange speaks as
follows:
Now in the prime of life, she still retains the
beauty of her youth and also the grace. Her
acting is realistic and grand but always within
the bounds of art. She is a lady of culture and
refinement, and her accurate conception of the
character she portrays, and her superb acting of
the part has been fully proven by the long and
successful runs of sled Astray,'' "Rose Mi
chel,'' s'Felicia'' and other dramatic successes
in which she created the leading role.

The Bad and Worthless.

are never Initiated or counterfeited. This is
especially true of family medicine, and it is
positivGproof that the remedy initiated is of the
highest value. As soon as it had been. tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop Bit
tiers was the purest, best and most valuable fam
lily medicine on earth, many limitations sprung
up and began to steal the notices in which the
press and people of the country had expressed
the merits of H. B., and in every way try
ing 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 b. B., with variously de-
vised 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 matter what their style or
name is, and especially those with the
word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name or
in any way connected with them or their
name, are limitations or counterfeits. Be-
ware of them. Touch none of them. Use
nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with
bunch or cluster of green Hops on the
white label. Trust nothing else. Drug
gists and dealers are warned against deal
ing in limitations or counterfeits.
