worth, skill and wonderful success OF the Dr. out a
him. as invads they the preservation ct 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 superntendence OF
the Dr. himself-and the yearly income OF $4,000
which he has derived from this limited sale, show
whether they are deserving of patronage:
Now that full confidence is placed in their efficacy
by such undsputed testimony at home, those that try

physicians, imposed upon by quacks and quack medl-

Wishes however, to caution still further the sceptlcal
incredulous in any doubt which may arise from the
aforesaid by leaving him to inquire more into the par
ticuars and facts, than mere words, before using his
prescriptions, and medicines.
DR.. Fontaine is so much opposed to quackery and
imposition, that he will always protest mantully
against such pretended medicines and plll-makers
as an infaible and radical cure OF all dseases-ther
absurd foolish and deceitul doctrine being based on
the admission that instead OF asserting the dogma
that nnumerable diseases, the primary and sole
causes of the deranged system and impurlty OF the
blood, they wckedy assert that all sickness and NAL!
aides, spring only from such an impurlty which II
we could one moment even admit we should lind 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.

and graduated in their principal Universities

tries for IL years. Since then, compelled by political
tive home, property and all, he arrived this side OF
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. Spurzhem, the
immortal Phrenologis since deceased. He has since
then, by assduity and unparalleled success gained
the public confidence as citizen and skillfu physi-
clan, through all the States, Notwithstanding the great
exertions, opposition envy and jealousy Of his profess

his ancient method, their warfare Of calumny, SLAM
