r r^HE&iiy complaints of injuries received by fpuri
£ ous medicines fold for Matedant's Drops, pre
pared solely by me, requires the most serious attention,
as weA in fafety to the patient, as my own inttreft.
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 1 have punished, notwith
standing which, the fame mal-pr^rftices are continued ;
others use more caution by vending medicines un&r the
names of MERRDENT,MERIDENT,NORDON,&c.
and several make use of their own names, alledging their
being assistants to me. Can it be possible for any man to
think me so weak, as to dbdofe such a valuable secret
to my servants, more efpecialiy thole of so menial a fort
as to be employed in the diftribucion of pamphlets, pack
ing up and delivering boxes at the different inns,with eve
ry drudgery attendant? JOHN NORTON.
