DR. JAMES'S FEVER POWDER AND ANALEPTIC

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
NEWBERY, my late Agent for the sale of
.1.1.1. these Invaluable Medicine*, having failed.* an attempt
he made in the Court of ChanCery, founded upon an untenable
claim of Joint-Proprietorship. to compel me to continue supply-
ing him, (notwithstanding my disinclination, originating in his
conduct towards my family), and consequently being no tenger
supplied with them from me, is now Issuing forth to the world,
compositions of his own manufacture, under the same tires. I
feel, therefore. that I owe it to the Public, to caution them
against the consequences of taking such compositions, under the
erroneous impression of their being Dr. James's • end to apprise
them, that as a certain mark by which to distinguish the genuine
medicine's, each Packet and Box will in fixture bear a label
signed with my name, in my own Land-writing.
I beg farther to state, that the Medicineseef Dr. James with
which the Public have been supplied, through Mr. Newbery
and'his father, for seventy years, were never prepared, oreould
be prepared, by any person but the. Inventor, my grandfather,
and his Sons, my father and my uncle Mr. G. James, (by the
latter in trust for me, until I arrived at the age appointed for
the recipe being handed over to me). I feel assured, therefore,
that no thinking person will venture on taking Mr. Newberfs
novel and untried compositions, which, in his advertisement,
Mr. Newbery confesses he has only prepared for the last few
months : any one who may unfortunately have tried them, will
be quickly sensible of the difference of their effect, from that of
the genuine medicines, now prepared by me, as they were by
the late Dr. James, my grandfather, himself. And this will be
the best refutation of Mr. Newbery's insinuations and laborious
endeavours to persuade the Public of their identity.
Skase the facts I have already published, thereby clearly de-
monstraxing that my grandfather never communicated to any
person out of his family the secret of preparing the celebrated
Medicines in question, I deem It unnecessary for me to notice
any thing that Mr. Newbery.fias stated, but his assertion is a late
Advertisement, " that the Analeptic Pills have for some years
been prepared in a negligent and imperfect manner."
This is an assertion not founded on fact, the Pills having been
prepared ineariabiy in the same manner by the above-mentioned
persons successively. No complaints were ever made by the
purchasers in Bruton-street ; nor did Mr. Newbcry himself ever
make any complaint, until the dam of the Chancery suit. Mr.
Newbery's object in commencing this suit was to compel 97. e to
nindy lams perimimally with those very Pias which he note endeavours
to &remit:dr.—The truth it, that Mr. Newbery, finding himself
incapable of making his Pills, (even in appearance,) similar to the
genuine Analeptic Pills, rather than admit his incompetence to
imitate them, affects to say, the genuine are incorrectly manu-
factured. The Public will readily perceive the reason of the
anxiety manifested by Mr. Newbery thus to account, in some
way or other, hcwever atsurd, for his Pills being of a different
colour from the genuine : indeed they are so unlike, as well in
their properties as velour, that with peculiar propriety play pure
chasers (as his Advertisements request) ask for " Mr. Newbery's
Pills," for they are certainly not Dr. James's.
Why does not Mr. Newbury disuse the name of Dr. James al-
together, and introduce his Pins and Powders to the world as his
own rostrums (which they are) underlAie pain name?
