Show THEORY VS. FACTS. All established theories are set aside by solid facts. The solid facts in this case are, that the business interests of our fair city have been greatly enhanced within the past year by one single enterprise, conducted by one single mind, than by all other productive institutions in Rochester. We refer to the manufacture of Hop Bitters. The remedial properties of hops, with the herbs introduced, principally buehu, mandrake and dandelion, have long been known, but there had been so much more stuff - aye, deleterious stuff - foisted upon the country, under the general cognomen of "bitters" and "remedies," that this medicine which had been perfecting under the experiments of skilled pharmacculists and chemists, had to over come the distrust of all such "remedies" by the slow process of information, which has been so successfully done, that today, the druggist who does not embrace Hop Bitters in the list of his regularly ordered medicines, or the family that does not know its beneficial effects would be difficult to find. The manufactory is located on Mill Street, from which emanates the preparation that is daily shipped to all parts of the country, and to sections of the globe over which the American flag does not float. The business is splendidly systematized, and everything goes on so quietly that it would be difficult to imagine that so extensive a business was done in that locality. Each department is overseen by competent persons. The items for bottles and for packing-boxes are enormously surprising, and those who furnish these two articles alone have reason to rejoice at the discovery of Hop Bitters, while the myriads of sick people who have been cured by this invaluable remedy have greater reason to rejoice - Rochester Evening Express. |
