beneficial to his fellow creatures. In the pills which
he invented, and which bear his name, the public
assured of an article that possesses more than
ordinary virtues. From the acknowledged talents
of this inventor, nothing less than good article
could be expected and the experience of many
years has afforded demonstration of the virtues OF
his medicine. In Germany and other parts OF Eu-
