1NR. FONTAINE of N York, begs leave to I present to the public the following MEDICINES, scientifically prepared, harmless: ana Ses.al f, m .S ; dyiduas of their merits or efficacy. when are gene rally forged, unworthy or corruptiy Obtamed: put 10 Ihe public and he afflicted IS left the test ot lher vr tues and effects As sure guarantee, however, a. gainst imposition, be 1t known that they are prepared from the scientific recipes Of the well known DOctor FoNTAlNE, formerly of New-liaven, Conn, 90 justly celebrated throughout the States of Penn sylvania, and Massachusetts. Without exception, there is village town in the state Of Connecti- cut, but in which individuals may be found, who would freely give certificates not only Of the personal worth, skill, and wonderful success of the Doctor but that to him. nvalids, they owe the preservation ot their lives. For many years the sale of these Medl- cines was limited to the city of New-tlaven where they prepared under the direct suPerintendence of the Doctor hmseli-and the yearly income of S2OOO which he has derived from ;hls limited sale, show whether they are deserving Ot patronage.
 Now that full confidence is placed in their efficacy by such undisputed testimony at home those that ny his prescriptions will longer be injured by ignorant physicians imposed upon by quacks and qnack med SG icines puffcd up by inslnuatons and attery at the expense of the pockets and the health. The Doctor wishes, however, 10 caution still further the eceptical incredulous in any doubt which may arse from the aforesaid by leaving him inquire into ilie par
 culars and facis than mere words, before usng hls prescriptions, and medicines ..
 Dr. Fontaine is so much opposed to quackery and imposition, that he will always protest mantuly against such pretendcd medicines and pllI-makers, which only by mpostors and their dupes are claimed intailibe and radical cure Ot all dseaSeS-theif absurd, toosh and decettu doctrine being based on the admission that, instead of asserting the dogma that innumerable diseases are the primary and so.e causes of the deranged system, and impurty of the blood, they wickedly assert that all sic kness and ma adies spring only from such an mpurity which, if we could one moment admit, we should hnd, at last that such pretended divine universal pill, mix ture, cannot agree with all persons; who require d
 erent treatment according the strength and nature of their constitutions.
 A single word of recommendation, if Dr. Fontaine deserves it. He was born in Paris, of Italian parents he is the only living relation and nephew of Felix Fonaine," of Florence, (haly) who was well known, and whose memory is respected, by all medical men throughout the world. From this immortal man, he received in his youth the rudments of his future ca reer. He was educated in Italy, France, and Germa ny, and graduated in their principal Univers ies-ha. wing been regular and skilfu practitioner in those countries for l2 years Since then compelled by po- ltcal opinions to leave unexpectedly and suddenly, his native home, property, and all, he arrived on this side the Atlantic, and was welcomed in New-Haven; being at first recognized and recommended as such by the peculiar friend of his family, Dr. Spurzheim, the immortal PhrenoIogist, since decensed: He has since then, by assiduty and unparalleled success, gained the public confidence as a citizen and skilltul physician, through all the States, notwithstanding the great exertions opposition, envy, and jealousy, of his professional brethren-as he, being at variance with their practice and judgment, has drawn upon himsel by his ancient method, their warfare of calumny, islander, and contempt of doctrine.
