BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.

IL public by a 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 the original
discoverer of Judkns' Ointment, and had taken out
new patent thereon in his own name; having IN
the first instance ASST gned for doing,
THAT many persons would try to make it, and
would not be able, and the ointment be propagated
in this aduterated 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. c. HERSTONS
Here follows few of the many instances dsclos-
ing the fact of spurious article:-
Baltimore, October 90, 1914.
Mr.. G. HERsroNs-Last winter / received
small wound in one of my feet-it became neces-
sary to apply something to heal i'll sent to a
Druggist for pot of Judkins ointment but unfor-
tunately the article obtained was spurious In
using II my foot kept getting and worse, until
became incapable of attending to business-was
confined to bed, and had to send for Physicians
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 see me and brought with
him pot of ointment which find is prepared by
lyou, now called Shepherds Patent Specific ONT
ment. On applying the first plaster alteration
IN few hours took place-the wound soon became
i'll state of amendment and it effected perfect
cure. From decacy, | forebear to mention the
name ofthe 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 dscountenanc-
ed. E. c.. THOMAS,

So. .Mary'S county, Nd, June 2lSt 1S44.-Mr. G.
HERsT oNs-Sir, proprietor of very valuable
article once called Judkins' Ointment your name
appears the label Of each pot Of the ointment,
guaranteeing its genuinness. Having often used
the same in my family with the success so general
ly accredited to it, a spurious article has been
got in Baltimore and sold in county, having the
name and being somewhat like it in appearance,
yet quite destitute of its healing qualities. l my
self as we'll others having been deceived thereby,
an instance of its bad effects deserves passing
notice. | commenced using it 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 ought not to be
lost to the public
Justice demands the above communication.

GentIemen-I was afflicted with sore leg-the
fame of Judkins' Ointment induced me to get Jug
oft | used it according to the directions but it
kept getting worse Mr.. Herstons travelling to the
west stopped at my house; looking at the ointment
he Immediately pronounced it not Of his make On
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 COUNTERFEIT article.

The following are few recommendations of the
genuine article:
Westminster, Carroll county, Nh, February 10,
lS44.-MR. HERsToNs-My son William now in
my store, received bad cut in his forehead laying
it open 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
DAYS it was perfectly healed. A brother of mine re-
ceiVed wound by sickle drawn through
his hand III harvest-he said he should not be able
to work any more duling 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 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
lieve it to be worthy the attention of the public
JESSE MANNING,
have had frequent complaints: as we'll as written
information the subject which Mr.. Harrison
Posey here brings to view in st. Mary's comfy
This gentlemans word cannot be doubted. My
own name has been so long before the public, both
in the former patent right as we'll the present,
that merchants will do themselves and their Gus
toners some credit by getting the real article in
Baltimore from my agents. Remember the name
is changed, and is now shepherds Patent Specific
Ointment prepared as usual by
c. HERSTONS.
31The genuine article is now labeled "Shep-
herds Patent Specific Ointment" the name of c.
Herstons appearing likewise, guaranteeing its per-
tormance.
1t is also one of the best remedies for Burns and
Scalds. 1t the pain and draws the fire out in
a short time.
1t is likewise good for letters of all kinds. In
this complaint, the patient in applying the ointment
must keep the part out of water.
He puts none out of a less price than fifty cents.
GS5-None genuine without the signature of the
proprietor G. HERsToNs.
