BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.

~ -. s ss:sszzzNN
IMPOSITION having been practised upon the
Il public, by spurious article bearing the name OF
"Judkins' Ointment the proprietor, c. HERS
TONS, recommends the following communication:
Some years back, Nathan Shepherd informed the
public in the newspapers, that he was the original
dscoverer of Judkins' Ointment, and had taken out
a new patent thereon in his own name; having In
the first instance assigned reason for so dong,
that many persons would try to make it, and
would not be able, and the ointment be propagated
in this adulterated state in some degree resembling
the genuine ointment AS complaints have been
made repeatedly of this being the case, to the sub
scriber, who is still legally concerned, it is due to
the public that they should be cautioned On thI6
head. C. HERSTONS.
Here follows few of the many instances disc
ling the fact of spurious artcle:-
Baltimore, October %, 1914.
Mr.. G. HERsToNs-Iast winter l receIy

sary to apply something to heal it sent to-
Druggist for pot of Judkins ointment, but unfor-N
tunateIy the article obtained was spurious. In
using my foot kept getting worse and worse, until
became incapable of attending to business-was
confined to bed, and had to send for Physician.

ever, friend called to and brought with

YOU, now called Shepherds Patent Specific oint-
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-
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-

/ st. Maru's co,1,tu Nd June 2lst 1S44.-Mr. G.
HERsToNs-Sir, as proprietor of very valuable
article once called Judkins' Ointment, your name
appears on the label of each pot of the ointment,
guaranteeing its genuinness. Having often used
the in my family with the success SO general
! ly accredited to it, a spurious article has been
got in Baltimore and sold in our county, having the
name and being somewhat like it in appearance,
yet quite destitute of its healing qualities | my
self we'll others having been deceived thereby,
an instance of its bad effects deserves passing
notice. | commenced using it on sore; TO my
surprise it kept getting worse and worse, until had
Ito cease using it altogether This article in its
genuine state is so valuable that it ought not to be
lost to the public.
Justice demands the above communication.

opening it | was sensible of the difference, although
it looked like it. | then applied the ointment he
gave me to my leg it became in state of amend
ment on using the first plaster, and so continued
until it got quite well. This ointment is certainly
valuable; it would be pity that it should be lost
by a COUNTERFEIT article.

The following are few recommendations fthe
genuine article:
Westminster, Carroll county, Nd, February 19,
lS44-MR. HERsToNs-My son William, in
my store received bad cut in his forehead, laying
it open near two inches, that it fell down over his
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
davs it perfectly healed. A brother of mine re-
ceived a severe wound by sickle drawn through
his hand in harvest-he said he should not be able
to work any more during harvest advised the
at first objected, 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-
ercses in the harvest field. Having received the
ointment from yourself, and knowing its value in
various instances for which it is recommended, be
lieve it to be worthy the attention of the public.
