quantities of il have been sold in New York, Phadel
phia, and PittsbuTg The bottles containing the medi-
cine, well as the sereoyped bills which cover each
bottle has been neatly and closely copied by those
engaged in counterteing hem that is difficult de-
tect them, and which indeed can alone he done by
critical examination. As TO the spurious Panacea il is
a most wretched and deletenOus compound, calculat
ed to do doubtless has done, great injury to the
constitutions of those who may be so unfortunate
it, II there be any thing within the range of human
action more immoral or wicked than another, it is
where uUprncipled being eopards the health and
lives OF his fellow creatures, in the present instance
for filthy luere, and palms upon them genuine med
cine OF universal reputation for its saDalive quality,
most vilaiA0us counterfeit whose constituent proper
ties instead of possessing the power of CURING tend only
deceive and blight the hopes ofhe invalid if not per
man nuy to destroy his health.
Having discovered the author and agents in this inH-
rious fraud upon the public, well upon my in
terests and being influenced by sincere desire pu
nsh the aggression of the former, and throw the PIANO
ply of protection around the latter caused some weeks
since TO be instituted in the u. States Court for
Philadelphia, against the parties concerned in this meta
