CAUTION

AXONS. LEVI begs to Caution the Public against
the GREAT IMPOSITIONS practised in this Town by
a person, who, styling himself a Chiropodist, calls at the houses
of the inhabitants of Liverpool, with Handbills, in which he
gives his residence as No. 3, Conduit-street, Regent-street,
London, and represents himself to be M. LEVI, in order
thereby to obtain the confidence of the Public, and to DE-
FRAUD them.

M. LEVI considers it his duty to Caution the Public against
such pretenders, who have no residence either in London or in
Paris, but are simply vagabonds, without the slightest redeem-
ing pretensions.

Tile description of this person is as follows: he is a man
about 40 years of age, middle-sized, rather stout, pock-marked,
without any whiskers, light brown hair, and dressed in shabby
genteel attire. He is addicted to liquor and snuff, and his
language is vulgar and his voice harsh. His mode of operation
is said to be this: he first takes out a small bottle, containing
red-coloured stuff; before applying it to the toe of the Patient
he tastes it himself; then he covers the part affected with the
stuff and cuts the surface; and finally he produces bristles, or
a hard horny substance, which are concealed in a pair of pin-
cers, and represents the same as having been drawn out of the
foot. He then winds up the delusion by covering the part
affected with a red liquid, which, on examination, has proved
to be a tincture of common oil.

Whilst warning the Public against this scandalous imposi-
tion, M. LEN,' refers to the Norwich papers of last December
twelve month, whereby it will be seen that one of the same
gang atqmpted then and there to carry on his frauds by simi-
lar unfounded misiebresentations, and that he was brought to
justice at the NorwictfAsiizes.
M. Lays considers it but justice to the Public, whose kind-
ness and generous encouragement he has so largely
during his Annual Visits to Liverpool, to expo'. g=riloreledog
imposition, by warning all persons against these soi disant
Corn Doctors, whose ignorance is only paralleled by their im-
pudence. _

Monsieur Levi may be CONSULTED DAILY, for a short
time only, from the hours of Ten till Four o'clock, at his Resi.

From R. Steele, Esq.
Mr. Levi has this day operatea upon a corn under my great
toe-nail with the greatest skill, and in a short period of time.
The corn has been under my nail a long time, which caused it
to grow into the flesh, and thereby inflammation was incurred ;
but I am happy to state Mr. Levi has cured my toe entirely,
and I can walk now with the greatest ease. I can, therefore,
recommend my friends who are suffering from the same cause
to pay a visit to Mr. Levi. R. STEELE.
