priced in Europe as an infallible remedy for
the cure of Liuer Complaint Jaudiee, Dyspep-
STA &c. Dr.. C. M. Jackson's preparation of
this medicine has obtained the same celebri-
ty in this Western World. The testimonials
and innumerablc combinations of thousands

is ample proof of this The medicines com.
pounded by DIR. C. nj. Jackson have produced
the very effects and the fame happy results,
which the immortal inventor indicated, and
intended, and consequently must be prepar-
ed with scrupulous accuracy. In view of
the above facts it seems singular, that any
body could have the hardihood and impu-
dence to abuse the name of this distinguish
ed Doctor, who died thirteen years ago. TO
pass off a charlalan quack preparation as tho
real and genuine medicine, and to give a
semblance of originality by affixing fac
simile OF the deceased, is indeed extraordi-
