Extraordinary Developments
EXTENSIVE MEDICAL FoRGERIEs

We learn from the examination OF PELHAM
d. HoLIrJ Of this city on charge of coun-
terfeiiing the labels ofHolloway's celebrated
Pills, has resulted in the commtlAl Of the
prisoner TO take his trial for that offence
The testimony disclosed some facts. It ap-
pearcd that Hollis had closely initiated the
original wood cuts and Photographic plates
used IN Professor lioloWay's business; that
his nefaroui preparations had been on gi-
gantc scale, and that the immense popuari-
ty Of the Medicine justified him expecting
vast returns in case of success. Fortunately
the active and energetic agents Of Professor
Holloway, lwho may be said to constitute a
special police for The protection Of his inter
ests in all parts of the world, soon discovered
the fraud and procured tho arrest Of the per-
petrator. The Central Office in New York.
acting under instructions from the parent
establishment in London, next proceeded to
trace out the whereabouts Of the couuterfeis
and it is believed tina, they have all been
discovered and destroyed.
Frauds Of this nature are atrocious. They
imperl health and life, by substituting for a
genuine curative something that is either
Ineffective or positively noxious. TO coun-
terfeit a bank Till is merely to cheat the
pocket, but to counterfeit great medicine is
to rob the sick not only Of their money but of
the chance Of cure.
It would seem that the boundess success
Of Professor IIolloway's remedies in this
country has aroused to an unwonted extent
the cupidhy fthot class OF harPies who watch
the progress Of grand discovery for the sole
purpose of robbiug he discoverer and deceiy-
ing the public. The author of" Lacon says
" Hypocrisy is the homage which Vice pays
to Virtue" and II may with equal truth be
affirmed that the eounterfeiung of a world
renowned medicine is the unconscious tribute
which villsny pays to skill, science and sue
cess.
We rejoice that the villany has in this case
been promptly unmOsked, and that there is
every probability ofiustice being dealt out to
the offender,
We would suggest that the trade warned by
the detection of this scheme of fraud and rob-
berry, should exercise the utmost vigilance in
guarding against the like impostions hereaf-
