NOTE.
The great celebrity acquired by
several of the foregoing medicines dur
ing the last IS years, and the frequent
enquiry for them, at every apothecary
and vendcr of medicine in the United
States, induced the sordid and un-
p,incipled, to prepare ceunterfeits, *
to impose such counterfeits on the pub
lie more than one have basely com.
menced business under the assumed
name of Lee, for the purpose OF vend.
ing with greater success, limitations
of the excellent remedies prepared by
my late husband, and have had the as
suranse publicly to advertise them as
having been in constant use for up
wards of IL years.
By these and similar receptions, the
proprietor has been robbed of part of
the reward of her labours, and many
individuals, greatly injured in that
most valuable of all earthly blessings,
