A Question
A VUtS(EON
FOR THE PUBLIC TO DECIDE

0AN it be expected that Merchants and Drug
u gists, who lend themselves to palm off upon
the public their base limitations and counterfeit
medicines, in preference to the genuine, merely
because they can make more per cent on them,
would dea honestly in selling ether articles! We
think not. Persons that deal out counterfeit med-
cines, and thus encourage counterfeers, even at
the expense Of the health and life of their custom
