soning false representation and doctrnes to employ
medicines that so far from being adapted to their
disease or sickness, absolutely increase the symp-

system. and bring on gradual decline, terminating
in death previous to the fatal termination, however,
but unfortunately too late the truth IS found out
that the pills, mixtures, &c. they have been taking
were composed Of the most powerful and dangerous
