DR.. Fontaine is SO much opposed 10 quackery and
against such pretended medicines and pill-makers,
which only by impostors and their dupes are claimed
as an nfaible and radical cure OF all dlseases-their

that nnumerable Diseases are the primary and sole
causes of the deranged system and lmpurty Of the
blood they wckedy assert that all sickness and NAL
aides, spring only from such an impurity which if
we could one moment even admit, we should lind at

of their constitutions. -.
