cines for domestic use, and SO has published broadcast and openly to the
whole world, a full. and complete list of ali. the ingredients entering
into the composition of his widely celebrated medicines. Thus he has
taken his numerous patrons aud patients into his full confidence. Thus
too he has absolutely and completely removed his medicines from among.
