signature removed all the carrier's suspicion, and accordingly
when the supposed medicine was brought, which was in the
course of an hour after the letter, he readily took it in and
paid the seven shillings; but what was his surprise, on
taking it to Mr. York, to be informed that he (Mr. York)
had never sent any such letter, and that the whole was a
hoax for the purpose of obtaining the amount stated. Upon
examining the supposed medicine, it proved to be a useless
mixture of trash, and worth nothing.—Sherloorne Journal.
