" HOGE'S HORKHOUND HONEY. The story is rife that horehound honey is a myth, 

 but we take the responsibility of assuring the world that pure horehound honey is a 

 fact known to many of our citizens, and that it is produced in large quantities in 

 several callous in this county, where the horehound plants grow in such profusion as 

 *o entirely choke out anything else around them. Mr. Hoge has gone to great pains 

 and devoted several years to horehound honey, and has secured control of all that is 

 produced in this country, and is creating a good demand for it. We therefore feel 

 that he is justly entitled to any advantage which may come from our indorsement of 

 the fact that pure horehound honey is a bona fide production of tbis county. Ven- 

 tura County (Cal.) Republican. 



" This is to certify that to my personal knowledge the locality referred to by Mr. 

 Hoge is covered with nourishing growth of horehound, from which large quantities 

 of pure horehound honey are gathered by his bees. S. M. W. Easley, notary public, 

 Ventura County, Cal. 



" HOGE'S HOREHOUND HONEY. Wherever a bee flies within the virgin wilderness of 

 Hoge's Canon, along the banks of the river, along the bluffs and headlands and deep 

 leafy glens, the horehound plant blossoms in lavish abundance. It is the work of 

 the honeybee to gather the sweet treasure, horehound honey, so divinely prepared, 

 and bear it off, saying to those suffering from coughs : ' Eat ! It is the soul of the 

 blossom.'" 



This sample, as will be seen from the analysis, was composed of a solution of cane 

 sugar and some alcohol.
