IMPOSITION!
The Patrons of PONDS Extract

The Patrons Of Ponds Extract
are cautioned against the uuccr-
tain, strengthless decoctions Of
fered to the public as being equal
to this far famed, old established
remedy
DO not be deceived by similarity
of odor and appearance These
mutations cannot an dHy iHSt,face
be compared with Ponds En-
tract.
This great Curative Is ALWAYS of a
steady and uniform character
The extensive facilities for the
manufacture of Ponds EN-
tract enables the Company to
guarantee this, while the imitator
does not produce the same result
twice in succession.
The true secret of the manufac-
ture of Ponds Extract is
too well guarded and too wisely
transmitted to escape
Other unscrupuIGus trades
men. desirous of making a larger
profit, are in the habit of stating
to their customers who ask for
Ponds Extract, that they
do not keep it in bottles but have
it in bulk.
This Company Is mOst SOIici-
tous to protect their patrons from
this dishOn Orable trick, resorted
to for the purpose of palming off
on the public a cheap dec oction
that can not in any way compare
in purity and quality with this
old established remedy.
Some of our friends are in the
habit of taking old Ponds
Extra ct bottles 10 the druggists
to be refilled. No dealer can
refill a bottle with genuine
Ponds Extract except bv
emptying another bottle.
The Ponds Extract Company
will feel indebted 10 any one who
furnishes them with the name Of
any dealer who attempts 10 sell
them any article in bulk as
Ponds Extract. or the same
as Ponds Extract. Those so
doing are violating an act Of Coya-
gress passed Aug. 14th, 1876, the
penalty of which is fine and i'm
