are never initiated or counterfsafed. This il
especially true Of family medicine, and it is
positive proof that the remedy initiated is of
the highest value. As soon as it had been
tested and proved by the whole World that
Hop Bitters was tho purest, best and most
valuable family medicine on earth, many
limitations sprang up and began to steal the
notices in which the press and tho people of
the country had expressed the merits Of II. b.,
and in every way trying to induce suffering
invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting
to mako money on the credit and good name
of III. b. Many others started nostrums put
up in similar style to III. b., with variously de-
vised names in which the word Hop" or
Hops" were used in 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 espe.
cially those with the word Hop" or "Heps'
in their name or in any way connected with
them or their name, are limitations or counter
feits. Beware of them. Touch mono of them.
Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with a
bunch or cluster Of green hops on the white
label. Trust nothing else. Druggists and
dealers are warned against dealing in imita-
tions or co,lnterfeits

Dr. Henry McCormac, Of Belfast,
Ireland. writes that it is not becessary
that a person knowing nothing of the
art OF swimming should drown. If he
will depend on the powers of self
preservation with which nature has
endowed him. The pith of the
doctors remarks is contained in the
following paragraphs:
When one OF the inferior animals
takes the water, falls. or is thrown in,
it instantly begins to walk as it does
when out Of the water. But when a
man who cannot Swim" falls into the
water, he makes a few spasmodic
struggles, throws up his arms and
browns. The brute, on the other
hand, treads water, remains on the
surface and is virtually insubmerge-
able.
In order, then, to escape drowning,
it is only necessary to do as the brute
does, and that is to tread or walk the
water. The brute has no advantage
as to his relative weight in respect to
the water, over man; and yet the
man perishes while the brute lives.
Nevertheless any man. anyswoman,
airy child who can walk on the land.
may also walk in the water just as
readily as the animal does, and that
without any prior instruction or
drilling whatever.
