DR. FONTAINE of N. York begs leave 10
~ present to the public, the following medicines,
scientifically prepared harmless, and certain IN their
peculiar effects. They bring not certificates from in
dviduas of their merits or efficacy, which are gener
ally forged, unworthy, or corruptly obtalned but to
the public and the afflicted is lett the test OF their vr
tues and effects. As a sure guarantee however,
against imposition, be it known that they are prepar-
ed from the scientific recipes OF the We'll known Dr.
Fonteine, formerly of New Haven, Conn.,, SO Justly
celebrated throughout the States OF New ork, Fem.
svIvania and Massachusetts. Without exception,
there is not village or town in the state Of Connect
lieut., but in which individuals may be found, who
would freely give certificates not only OF the personal
worth, skill and wonderful success OF the Dis but that
to him. as invalids they owe the preservation OF their
lives. For many years the sale Of these medicines
was limited to the city Of New Haveni where they
were prepared under the direct saperintendence Of
the Dr. hmseand the 9o ye 'bs 3ed se SU

Now that full confidence is placed IN their efficacy
by such undisputed testimony at home' those that try
his prescriptions will no longer be injured by ignorant
physicians imposed upon by quacks and quack nedi-
cnes pulled up by insinuatons and hattery at the
expense of their pockets and health. The Doctor
Wishes however, to caution SUI TURNER tne scePhcal

ticuars and facts than mere words, before using his
prescriptions, and medicines H. O. .

against such pretended medicines and pill-makers,
which onv BY impostors and their dupes are claimed
as an infalible and radical cure OF all diseases-ther
absurd, foolish and deceitu doctrine being based on
the admission, that instead OF asserting the dogma
that nnumerable diseases, are the primary and sole

blood they wckedy assert that all sickness and mall
aides, spring only from such an ImpurIty! which il
we could one moment even admit, we should find at

erent treatment according to the strength and nature
of their constitutions.
