A CAUTION to the Public in general, but

the East or Welt-Indies, North-America,&c.
THE daily complaint# of injuries received by spuri
ous medicines fold for Maredant's Drops, pre
pared solely by me, requires the molt serious attention,
as well in Safety to the patient, as my own interest.
Those Impostures not only attempt to deceive by having
bills printed like mine, and bottles of the fame mould
and inscription, but are even daring enough to counter
feit my hand writing; some I have punished, notwith
standing which, the fame mal-pradices arc continued ;
others ufc more caution by vending medicines under the
names of MERRDENT,MERIDENT,NORDON,&c.
and federal make ufc of their own names,alledging th,eir
being affiftanti to me. Can it be possible for any man to
think me so weak, as to disclose such a valuable Secret
to my fervanti, 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 innfrith eve
ry drudgery attendant? JOHN NORTON.
