At his Medicinal Store in Baltimore.
IN this importation I have received a large quan
tity of Patent Medicines, perfumery and grocery,
cinnamon, mace, nutmegs, cloves, alfpice, faltpetre,
&c. juniper, anise, fennel, coriander, caraway and
foedugreek feeds; also surgeons pocket instruments,
mop furniture, cases of scalpels, best and common
lancets, rupture trusses, &c. As it is probable a
non-importation agreement may be soon entered
into by the Colonies, our intercourse with Great-
Britain mult of course be much interrupted, and
regular supplies of goods from thence not so eafiiy
obtained as hitherto : My physical friends, and other
customers will please to advert to this circumstance,
and supply themselves before my present stock is
exhausted.—l mean, however, to continue my im
portations by every opportunity, conformable to
any general reftri&ions that may take place.
