original Recipe for preparing the same, in Dr. James's hand-
writing, which was delivered to his laie Father at the time the
'Agreements were executed:. That he, this Deponent, at this
period had •been nearly six years at the University, as a Stu,
dent in Physic, but on the death of his Father, .by the .desire
of Dr. James, be was induced to quit his intended profession,
in order to contisine and'conduct the business of the 'Fever,
Powder: That. a . few years afterwards, the late Dr. JanieS
having invented his Analeptic Pills, applied to this Deponent
to undertake the Sale of them, like the- Fever Powder, .on
their equal and joint account: That an Agreement was en,
tered into between them in 1774; kind upon this occasion Or. •

-not committed to writing any Receipts of them, except those
which he had delivered,to this Deponent's 'Father and himself,
and excepting one of the Fever Powders which this Deponent
would find among his papers, and which was so disguis'ed
under feigned names, as to be unintelligible without an ex-
planation, which he then gave to this Deponent : That after
Dr: James's decease he found this very Recipe (and this 'only)
which is now in this Deponent's possession, and which con-
tains the must complete Instmetions for preparing this im-

made by several Medical Gentlemen in their practice, who
bare found them exactly similar in their effects : And. this
Deponent further saith, that the Analeptic Pills are now
faithfully prepared from-the real Recipe given to him by Dr.

Colour, and to that Eflicacy which established their reputa-
tion in th,.• James's time., - -- • •
