CAUTION TO those whopurchase or take BECK
~ WlTHS anti-dyspeptic pills
have satisfactory evidence that Beckwith's pills
have been extensively counterfeted in various parts
of the country. and particularly at New York, and
sold at prices much below what the genuine article
can be afforded at.
Since the agency Of Mr.. Henry d. Turner, John
street, New York, ceased, on the l4th February,
1874, have appointed no agents, and now have
nonein any section, except DR.. T. w. Dyott Sons,
of the Columbian College, Philadelphia. Those,
therefore, who wish to purchase or take the gen
uine pills, must obtain them either of myself or OF
those gentlemen or of persons known to purchase
them Of one or the other. DR.. Dyott & Sons are
enabled by me to sell upon the same terms as do
myself.
