IMPOSITION having been practsed upon the
IL public, by spurious article bearing the name OF
SJudklns' Ointment" the proprietor, q. HERS
lONS, recommends the following communication:
Some years back, Nathan Shepherd informed the
pubic IN the newspapers, that he was the original
dscoVerer OF Judkins Ointment, and had taken out
new patent thereon in his own name; having In
the first instance assigned as 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 ofths 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. G.. HERSTONS.
Here follows few of the many instances disclos-
ing the fact of spurious article:-
