nearly 10 years, and from whence Mensrs. Newbery and the
Public have been hitherto unlfaritily supplied. I beg to add, that
in conseqttence of ;Messrs. Newbery and Sons having, since
thought pi oper to withdraw from them the sale of my Medicine+,
announced their intention of vending compositions of their own,'
under the above titles, I feel I owe it to the public, to prevent, as'
far as I am able. the dangerous consequences of taking these pre-
paratioes, under the mivaken impression of their being mine.
With this view, to my own serlotis loss, I have authorised my
Agents, Mors. Butler and Suns, to exchange for my Medicines,
'such as are of the composition of Moms. Newbery, which may
be returned to them. Public are respectfully requested to
observe, that to enable them to discriminate between my Medi.
dues and those of Messrs. Newbery, sold under the name of my
grandfather, Dr. James, I *ball sign n y name on the label of each
packet or the Powder, and box of Pills, that is sent in future out
of my Elaborstory ; and that Messrs. Newbery and thitis have
no :nterest or concern in the genuine Medicines prepared by me.
