BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.

e. II 1E4 -
IMPOSITION having been practised upon the
public, by spurious article bearing the name OF
sJudkins' Ointment" the proprietor, G. HERS
TONS, recommends the following communications
Some years back Nathan Shepherd informed the
public in the newspapers that he was the orIginai
discoverer of Judkins' Ointment, and had taken out
new patent thereon in his name; having I'D
the first instance assigned reason for so dong,
'sthat many persons would try to make IT, and
would not be able, and the ointment be propagated
in this adulterated 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.

ing the fact of spurious article
