DR.. Fontane is SO much opposed to quackery and
imposition that he will always protest mantuly
against such pretended medicines and plll-makers
which only by mpostors and their dupes are claimed
as an nfaIlibe and radical Of all diseases-their
absurd foolish and deceitfu 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 impurty Of the
blood, they wickedly assert that all sickness and NAL
aides, spring only from such an mpurity which if
we cOuld one moment even admit, we should find at
last that such pretended divine universal pill, or mix
ture, cannot agree with all persons who require diff
ferent treatment according to the strength and nature
of their constitutions,
