i public, by spurious article bearing the name OF
"Judkns' Ointment" the proprietor, G. HERS
TONS, recommends the following communication
| Some years back, Nathan Shepherd informed the
public in the newspapers, that he was the original
discoverer of Judkins' Ointment and had taken out
new patent thereon in his name; having in
the first instance assigned reason for so doing,
that many persons would try to make 1t, 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
scriber, 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:-
Baltimore, October 90, 1914.
| Mr.. G. HERsToNs-Last winter | received
a small wound in one of my feet-t became neces-
sary to apply something to heal it sent to a
Druggist for pot of Judkin's ointment but unfor-
tunately the article obtained was spurious. In
using it my foot kept getting and worse, until
became incapable of attending to business-was
confined to bed, and had to send for Physician.
was seriously alarmed, such was the state l was
in from the use ofths ointment, and had l 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
you, now called Shepherds Patent Specific ONT
ment. On applying the first plaster an alteration
in few hours took place-the wound soon became
in state of amendment and it effected perfect
cure. From delicacy, 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-

ST. .Marg's county, Nd, June 2lst, lS44.-Mr. G.
HERsToNs-Sir, as proprietor of very valuable
article once called Judkins' Ointment, your name
appears on the label of each pot of the ointment
guaranteeing its genuinness. Having often useC
the same in my family with the success so general
ly accredited to il; a spurious article has beer
got in Baltimore and sold in county, having the
name and being somewhat like it in appearance
yet quite destitute of its healing qualities. i my
self as we'll as others having been deceived thereby
an instance of its bad effects deserves passing
notice. | commenced using it sore; to my
surprise it kept getting worse and worse, until hao
to cease using it altogether. This article in it:
genuine state is so valuable that it ought not to be

Justice demands the above communication.

! The following are few recommendations of the
genuine article:
Westn,inster Carroll county, Md, February 49,
IlS44-MR. HERsToNs-My son William, now in
my store, received bad cut in his forehead, laying
lit open two inches, so 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 a few
DAYS it was perfectly healed. brother of mine re-
lceved severe wound by sickle drawn through
his hand in harvest-he said he should not be able
to work any more during harvest advised the
ointment-he 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 was enabled to resume his eX-
ercises in the harvest field. Having received the
ointment from YOURSELF and knowing its value in
various ire.u:ces for which it is recommended be
leve it to be worthy the attention of the public.
JESSE MANNING,
have had frequent complaints. as well as written
information on the subject which MIR. Harrison
Posey here brings to view in st. Mary's comfy
This gentleman's word cannot be doubted. My
own name has been so long before the public, both
in the former patent right we'll as 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.
39The genuine article is now labeled "Shep-
herds Patent Specific Ointment" the name of e..
Herstons appearing likewise, guaranteeing its per-
formance.
1t is also one of the best remedies for Burns and
Scads. 1t eases 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 less price than fifty cents.
g5None genuine without the signature of the
proprietor, G. HERsToNs.
