perjure themselves, to impose upon patients,) that

known to many Citizens, Publishers, Mer-

commended, and particularly to
STRANGERS AND TRAVELLERS.
To avoid and escape imposition of foreign and ma

FOREIGN AND NATIVE QUACks,
who know but little of the nature and character OF

Notwithstanding ne foregoing facts are known tt
