BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.

IMPOSITION having been practsed upon the
IL public, by spurious article bearing the name OF
"Judkins' Ointment the propric1sI> G. HERS
TONS, recommends the following communicdS6nnsus
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 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 this
head. G. HERSTONS.
Here follows few of the many instances disclos-
ing the fact of a spurious article:-

a small wound in one of my feet-t became neces-
sary to apply something to heal it sent to a
Druggist for pot of Judkin's ointment, but unfor-
tunately the article obtained 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.

in from the use ofthis ointment and had not got
relief might have been ruined. Fortunately, how
ever friend called to see me and brought with
him pot of ointment which ! find is prepared by
you, now called Shepherds Patent Specific ONT
ment. On applying the first plaster an alteration
in few hours took place-the wound soon became
in state of amendment and it effected perfect
cure. From decacy, 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-

Ily accredited to it as 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,

notice. l commenced using it sore; to my
lsurprise it kept getting and worse, until had
to cease using it altogether. This article 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-

information on the subject which MIR. Harrison

This genteman's word cannot be doubted My
