nR. JAMES'S POWDER and ANALEPPIC PILLS.

THE Family of the late Dr. JAMBS having
thought proper-to break the connexion which has sub-
sisted between them and Messrs. NEWBERY upwards of Se-
venty veal-s ; and Mr. It 6.4;.3AME5, having styled himself
t‘ie " Proptietor" of these Medicines, and advertised " that
mine without his Signature in the Label can ,possibly be ge-
nuine," such misrepresentations will be obviated by the fol-
lowing
AFFIDAVIT.

late Mr. John Newbery, in Deceinber, 1767, he, this Deponent,

Property) in Dr. James's Fever Powder, together with the
original Recipe for preparing the same, jn Dr..larnes's hand-
writing, which Was delivered to his late 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, he was induceiLto quit his intended profession,
in order ,to conti4ine and conduct , the business of the Fever
Powder: That a fete years: afterwards, the late Dr. Jallaei
having, invented his Analeptic Pills, applied to this Deponent
to tinned ake the Sale df them, like the Fever Powder,` on
their equal and joint account: That an Agreement-. wits en-
tered into Inu ween them in 1774; and upon this occasion Dr.
James,,atter expressing his obligations to this Deponent's
Father, and his regard for n,. thorough confidence in this
Deponent (which the tenor of his Will and Codicils confirm)',,
delivered to him the Itecipe.fur preparing the Analeptit kills
under his baud : That in the 'sante year, 1774, Dr. James,
when about making•his will, requested • this Deponent to 'be
one of his Executors and Guardian of his Children, who were

the nunith of March, 1776-: That this ,Deponent further saith,
that he had frequent connnunicat ions with Dr. Jaines -respect-
ing't he preparation of his Medicines, particularly, during his
last illness, when he ibforined this Deponent that he had'ad-
tuTtted his eldest Son, to whom he ;had left his Shiite in this
Concern, to be present at the Preparations ; but that he bad
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, atid • which was so disguised
under feigned names, as to Ise unintelligible without an
ex-
planation, which he then gave to this Deponent : That after
-Dr. James's•decease he found this eery Recipe (and this•only)
• which is • new in this Deponent's possession, and which con-

the Fever Powder, and that he has lately submitted it, ti.ge-

made by several Medical Gentlemen in their practice, who
have found them exactly similar in their effects And this.

faithfully prepared frost the real Recipe 'given to hire bst Di,
