: A CAUTION to the Public in general, but
more particularly to Merchants, Captains
of Ships, and those concerned in trading to
the Eart or Wert-Indies, North-America,&c.
rr,HE<iaily complaints of injuries received by fpuri
'ous medicines fold for Maredant's Drops, pre-
Ipared foUly by me, requires the most serious attention,
as well in fafety to the patient, as my own interest,
Those Impostures not only attempt to deceive by having
bibs orinfed like mine, and bottles of the fame mould
and inferiprion, but are even daring enough to counter
feit my hand writing; some I have punished; notwith- 4
standing which, the fame mal-praaices are continued ; -
others use more caution by vending medicines under the
names of MERRDENT,MBRIDENT,NORDON,&c.
and several make use of their own names,alledging their
being affffiants to me. Can it be possible for any man to
think me so weak, as to disclose such a valuable secret
to my servants, more especially those of so menial a fort
as to be employed in the distribution of pamphlets, pack
ing up and delivering boxes at the different inns, with eve
ry drudgery attendant? JOHN NORTON.
