fcssion, some twenty years ago. It's proprietor was
well aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached to new and useful preparations
He, therefore, cndeavorcd to invest it with the
strongest possible nfcgUard against counterfeit

and properties having been thus ascertained,
samples of tho article were forwarded to 1000

In tho United States, for purposes of experiment.
A circular, requesting n trial of the preparation
and report of the result. accompanied each
specimen. 1000 of the most eminent medical men
in the Union promptly responded Their opinions
