BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.


IMPOSITION having been practsed upon the
public, by spurious article bearing the name of
"Judkins' Ointment" the proprietor, G. HERS
TONS, recommends the following communication
Some years back, Nathan Shepherd informed the
public in the newspapers, that he was the original
discoverer of Judkins Ointment, and had taken out
a new patent thereon in his own name; having in
the first instance assigned reason for SO doing,
''that many persons would try to make it, and
would not be able, and the ointment be propagated
in this adulterated state in degree resembling
the genuine ontment'-A complaints have been
made repeatedly of this being the case to the sub
scrber who is still legally concerned, it is due to
the public that they should be cautioned on this
head. G. HERSTONS.
Here follows a few of the many instances disclos-
ing the fact of spurious artcle:-
Baltimore, October 90, 1914.
Mr.. G. HERsToNs-Last winter | received
small wound in of my feet-it became neces-
sary to apply something to heal it sent to
Druggist for pot of Judkin's ointment, but unfor
tunately the article obtained was spurious. In
using it my foot kept getting and worse, until
! became incapable of attending to business-was
confined to bed, and had to send for Physician.
| was seriously alarmed, such was the state was
in from the use ofthis ointment, and had not got
relief might have been ruined. Fortunately, how
ever, friend called to and brought with
him pot of ointment which find is prepared by
you, called Shepherds Patent Specific ONT
ment. On applying the first plaster alteration
in few hours took place-the wound soon became
in a state of amendment. and it effected perfect
cure. From delicacy, forebear to mention the
name of the Druggist from whom bought the spu-
r riour ointment, but think the public ought to be
made acquainted with the fact. The one deem
very valuable, the other ought to be discountenanc
led. E. G. THOMAS,

got in Baltimore and sold in our county, having the

yet quite destitute of its healing qualities | my

Y notice. | commenced using it on a sore; to my
surprise it kept getting and worse, until had
: to cease using it altogether This article in its
genuine state is valuable that it ought not to be
a lost to the public.
Justice demands the above communication.

i GenHemen-I was afflicted with sore leg-the

it, used it according to the directions; but it
kept getting worse. b1r. Herstons travelling to the
west stopped at my house; looking at the ointment
he Immediately pronounced it moi Of his make On
'opening it was sensible of the difference, although
it looked like it. | then applied the ointment ne
gave me to my leg; it became in a state of amend

u Cumberland, Alegany county, Md, May 81.
The following are few recommendations of the
! genuine article:
i Westminster, Carroll county, Nd, february 19,
! lS44.-DIR. HERsToNs-My son William now in
my store, received bad cut in his forehead ayirg
it open two inches, that it fell down over his
4 eyes. We were distressed at its appearance-we
closed it with few stitches, and then applied the
Patent Specific Ointment you make, and in few
DAYS it perfectly healed. A brother of mine re-
!ceived severe wound by sickle drawn through
his hand in harvest-he said he should not be able
to work any more dming harvest advised the
ointment-he at first oh ected, not believing in its
efficacy; however, by permission he suffered me to
apply it; to his establishment. in three days it was
quite healed and, he was enabled to resume his ex
ercises in the harvest field. Having received the
ointment from YOURSELF and knowing its value in
various instances for which it is recommended be
r lieve it to be worthy the attention of the public.
