A Sincere and Positive Interest
TO THE PUBLIC, AND THE Real G%uide fO Ef0altks

NJ present to the public, the following medicines scientifically prepared, harmless, and certain m thelr peculiar effecIs They bring not certificates from ln dviduas O their merits or efficacy, which are gener ally torged unworthy, or corruptly obtained, but to the public and the afflicted is lett the test o their vr- tues and effects AS sure g9S,ahhee, ,h m ed from the scientific recipes of the well known Dr. Fontaine, formerly of New Haven, Conn.,, so justly sylvanla, and Massachusetts. Without exception, there is village town in the state ot Connect icut, but in which individuals may be found, who would freely give certificates not only ot the personal wOrh skill and wOndrrul success ot the Dr., but that him. nvaldS they owe the preservation ot their lives. For many years the sale of these medicines was limited to the city of New Haven, where they were prepared under the direct superlntendence of the pr. himsef--and the yearly income ot $2OOO which he has derived from this limited sale, show whether they are deserving ot patronage;
 Now that full confidence is placed m their efficacy by such undsputcd testimony at home, those that try his prescriptions will no longer be injured by ignorant physicians, imposed upon by quacks and quack med- cines, puffed up by insnuatons and tatery, at the expense of their pockets and heath The Doctor wishes however, caution still further the scepucal incredulous in any doubt which may arise from the aforesaid by leaving him to nqurs more into tine paE ar

 Dr. Fontaine is so much opposed to quackery and imposition, that he will always protest maniully against such pretended medicines and plll-makers, which only by mpostors and their dupes arc claimed as an infallbe and radical of all dseases-ther absurd foolish and deceitful doctrine being based on the admission, that instead of asserting the dogma that innumerable diseases, are the primary and sole causes of the deranged system and lnpurty ot the blood, they wickedly assert that all sickness and mai adies, spring only from such an lmpurlty winch It we could one moment even admit, we should find at last that such preended divine universal pill, or mix ure, agree with all persons; who require diff erent treatment according to the Srengh ana nature of their constitutions. .
 A single word of recommendation, if pr. Fonaine deservest. He was born in Paris of Italian parents; Fontaine of Florence, (ItaIy, who was we'll known, and whose memory is respec;tI by all medical men throughout the world. From this immortal man, he his youth the rudments o ms i1tare career and graduated in their principal Universles-havlng been regular and sklful practitioner in those coun tries for F years Since then, compelled by political
 tive home, property, and a he arrived this side oi the Atlantic, and was welcomed in New Haven-be- ing at first recognized and recommended as such by the peculiar friend of his family, Dr. Spurzheim, the immortal Phrenologist. since deceased. He has since then, by assduity and unparalleled success, gained the public confidence as citizen and skilfnl physi- cian through all the States notwhstandng the great exertons oppostion envy and jealousy, of his profess sonal brethren-as he, being at variance with their practice and judgment, has drawn upon himself, by his ancient melhod their warfare of calumny, slan- der, and contempt of doctrine.
