BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.

V%NS@zszss.ss - ~
I IMPOSITION having been practised upon the
L public, by spurious article bearing the pane OF
Judkins' Ointment the proprietor, c. HERS
TONS, recommends the following communication:
Some years back, Nathan Shepherd informed the
public III 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 as reason 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 degree resembling
the genuine ointment.'-As 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. c.. HERSTONS.
Here follows few of the many instances dsclos-S
ing the fact of spurious article:-
Baltimore, October %, 1914.
Mr.. e. HERsToNs-Last winter | received
small wound in one Of my feet-t 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 Tiny foot kept getting worse and worse until
| became incapable of attending to bust ess-~as
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. a pot Of ointment which find is prepared by
you, now called Shepherds Patent Specific oint-
ment. On applying the first plaster alteration
in few hours took place-the wound soon became
in state of amendment. and it effected perfect
cure. From deIicacy, 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-

IHERsToNs-Sir, proprietor of very valuable
article once called Judkins' Ointment, your name
appears on the label of each pot of the ointment,
guaranteeing it's genuinness. Having often used
the same in my family with the success SO general
lily 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,
vet quite destitute of its healing qualities. | my
Iself as well others having been deceived thereby,
Ian instance of its bad effects deserves some passing
notice. | commenced using it on sore; TO my :
surprise it kept getting worse and worse, until had
to cease using it altogether. This article in its
genuine state is so valuable that ought not to be
lost to the public
Justice demands the above communication.

it looked like it. | then applied the ointment he
gave me to my leg; it became in a state OF amend

it open near two inches that fell down over his

closed it with few stitches and then applied the
Patent Specific Ointment you make, and III few
davs it perfectly healed. A brother OF mine re-
ceived a severe wound by a sickle drawn through

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-
ercses in the harvest field. Having received the
ointment from yourself, and knowing lis value in
various instances for which it is recommended, be
lieve it to be worthy the attention of the public.
