Cantion.—Audacious Counterfeit!

The reputation which, for many years, has attached to “ Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters,” as the Standard Tonic or tub Aon, and the large demand for the article, net only in the United States, bnt elsewhere, have provoked the cupidity of the oounterfsitino tribe, and it has been extensively simulated and imitated by unscrupulous sharpers. \ The most dating 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 counterfeiters, and its note of hand for “one cent" at the foot, signed with our firm name, has been copied so closely that the fraud can only be detected on a minute inspection. Tbe dark label is also well counterfeited, and the working on both the imitation and genuine are precisely tbe same, the diflercace being simply in th. execution of the work; that of the imitation being somewhat coarter than the genuine. Other counterfeits are -pn the market, which are in all particulars the same as described above, with the exception of a slight difference in the spelling of our name. In addition<to the above, these counterfeiters have gone so. tar in some instances as to place a strip of paper over the cork and fasten to thtf neck of the botuo, on which is a viguette, and etherwise printed to resemble the general appearance of our proprietary U. 8. Revenue stamp, but upon Inspection will disclose the absence of the figure “4, and the words “fourcents,” Also “United States Internal Revenue,” all of which, together with additional wording, appear on our geanlne stamp. The public are, therefore, especially warned against these new couNTxnrms, and are advised to purchase Hostetter's Stomach Bitten only of houses whose Integrity is above suspicion.
