The Bad and Worthless

Is especially true of a family medicine,
and it is positive proof that the remedy
imitate1 is OF the highest value. As soon
as it had been tested and proved by the
whole World that Hop Bitters was the
purest, best and most valuable medicine
on earth, many limitations sprang up and
began to steal the notices in which the
press and the people of the country had
expressed the merits of H. B., and in
every way trying to induce suffering in
valids to use their stuff instead, expecting
to make money on the credit and good
name of H. B. Many others started nos
trums put up in similar style to II. B -,
with variously devised 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 especi-
ally those with the word "Hop" or
"Hops' in their name or in any way
way connected with them or their name,
are limitations or counterfeits. Beware
of them. Touch none of them. Use moth.

or cluster of green Hops on the white
