(Signed) GEORGE lIIBBERT, Chairman. THE Public ate earnestly warned against numerous Imitations of Doctor SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM OF GILEA D, put forth by several unprincipled individuals to ensnare and deceive. The great reputation so long enjoyed by that excellent medicine for the cure of nervous complaints, declines, and diseases induced by excessive indulgencies, and the great demand for it, have tempted the worthless and unprincipled to this nefarious practice, by which many invalids have been irreparably injured. These limitations extend not only to the namr of this medicine, but to the advertisements, wrappers on the boftles, and every distin guishing mark except that which would involve the life of the de predator, namely, the words" Samuel Solomon, Liverpool," engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each bottle, to imitate which is felony, and punishable as such. To this distinguishing mark the public attention is particularly directed, without which no " Cordial Balm" whatever has any claim to the merits of Dr. Solomon's invention. Ladies of a cold, acrid, or bilious habit of body, affected with languor, head-ache, or hysterical affections, cannot have recourse to a more salutary remedy than SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD. fo Gentlemen from the East or West Indies, the Student from 'public seminaries, or those whose occupations require a sedentary !ilk., this medicine has proved a sheet anchor, effecting wonderful *uses in cases of deoility, originating from heat of climate, or re -a:a:ions from juvenile indiscretions, and the effects of intense ap plicazton to study or business. It is peculiarly - efficacious in all inward wastings, loss of appetite, ,:ndigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs, shortness of breath, and consumptive habits. r 7 The genuine meCicint, is prepared at Gilead- H. ntse, near Li verpool, and sold by Mr. It. Johnston, N 0.68, Cornhill ; Mr. Sill -150, Oxicaitrett, oprosite New Bond-street; Mr. Ward.
