MR.NEWBERY, my lite Agent for the sale of
these Invaluable Medicines, baying failed in an attempt
he made in the Court of Chancery, founded upon an untenable
claim of joint Proprietorship, to compel me to continue supplying
him, (notwithstanding my disinclination, originating in his con-
duct towards my, family), and consequently being no longer sup-
plied with them from me, is now issuing• forth to the world,
compositions of his own manufacture, under the same tides. I
' 1 feel, therefore, that I owe it to the Public, to caution them '
against the consequences et taking such compositions, under the
erroneous impressiun of their being Dr. James's • and apprise
' theta, that as a certain mart by which to distiomilsh the genuine
hledicines, each packet and box will in future bar a label signed
vetch my name, ia soy now nod wiring.
I beg further to state, that the Medicines of Dr. James with
which the Public hays een supplied, through Mr. Newbery and
' his father, for seventy years, were never prepared or could be pre- I
pared, by any person but the Investor, nsy grandfather, and his
Sons, my father and my uncle, Mr. G. James, (by the latter in
tract foe me, until I arrived at the age appoinad for the recipe
being banded over toils.). I feel assured,therefore,that no think-
ing person will venture on taking Mr. Nevrbery's novel and un-
tried compositions, which, in his advertisement, Mr. Newbery
cenfesses be has only prepared for the last few menthe : and any 1
one who may unfortubately have tried them, win be quickly sen-
sible of the difference of their effect, from that oldie genuine Me:
Skims, now prepared by me, as they were bras. late Dr. James,
'I my grandfather, himself. And this will be the best refutation
of Mr. Newbery's insinuations and laborious endeavours to
persaade the Public of their identity.
Since the facts I have already published, thereby clearly demon-
strating that my grandfather sever communicated to any person
qm of his family the secret of preparing the celebrated Medicines
in qiestion,(after he bad by succeseive improvements, suggested
by his later experience in practice, brought them to that peace-
I don width was satisfactory to his mind.) I deem it anneemeary
for me to notice any thing that Mr. Newbery has stated, but his
assertion in a late adverribetnent," that the Aoaleptic Pins have
for some year* been prepared in a negligent and impeded
manner."
This Is an anertien not founded so fact, the Pills having been
prepared intariails in the tante manner by.ths above-mentioned
'persons suteesovely. No complaints were ever made by the pur-
-1
chasers in .11ruton-street, nor di i Mr. Newbsry himself ever make
any cqmplaistr, until the time of die Chancery Suit: Mr. New.

l'irie truth 'ls; that Mr. Newbery lading himself inespable of
making, Ida Pills, (even in appearance), similar to the genuine
As akptic Pills, rather than admit his incompetence to imitate
them, affect* to say, the genuine are incorrectly manufactured.
The Public Will readily perceive the reason of the anxiety maid
fated by Mr. Newbery thus to account, in some way or other,
however absurd, (alas Pills being of a different colour from we
genuine: indeed they are so ankh*, as well in their properties as
colour, that with peculiar propriety rosy purchasers (as his ad
vertisenteme retinae) ask for “ Mr. Newhery's Pills," for they
are certainly am Dr. James's.
Why does nut Mr. Newbery douse the name of Dr. James al-
together, and Intrudecohis Pills and Powders to the wudd as his
own newness (which they are) under his own name-P
