• Medicines; the youtteness of which, to remove aU possibility
of doubt, bas been confirmed by the sore tests of chemistry
and experience, with the marked approbation of some most
respectable public bodies, it must clearly apiwar, that Mr. New.
berg never was an agent to Dr. James anal Lis faaii:y, any more
than they.were awaits to him; and as an addilicial proof, if any
could be wanted, his being from the beet-sing an essential
party in the concern, he may refer to an affidavit made by Dr.
James himself, to counteract the designs of a matt who pretended
that he bad ',ailed him in the prwaration M his powder. In
this affidavit, (vriich wis published in all the papers in January,
1777), Dr. James deposed. " that be never had employed this
" man (a. Mr. Hawes) in any part of the process; and that he
" never had admired any person to be present at stick bracens,
