LEE’S GENUINE PATENT Xevf London RU'vmis Pi\\s. JUST received, a fresh supply of the above useful Medicine, direct from l)r. Lee’s Dispensary 12th mo 30th, 1833. W. STABLER. The following extract is published by Dr. Lee’s au thority, viz:— Extract of a letter, written by a very respectable geri. tleman, residing in Baltimore, to the subscriber, who deems it his duty, though unauthorized, to lay it be fore the public, withholding the writer’s name, for particular reference, should any require it person ally. SAM. H. P. LEE. Baltimore, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. I.ee, New London, Conn. Deati Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I have used your New London Bdious Pills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most every description of disease, and believe they sa ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve ry instance of using them, T began to conclude that you had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respoct. Finding those I had without this test, I be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as iN politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for your piils, with your written signature. I Found many without this test, hut none with it, until I came to the Messrs Keerls*, who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using them, found the same effects from them I had always experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding mv aeH'in possession of a medicine so highly prize, that that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this information. XT' avoid tho. imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser lias only to examine the bill of directions covering each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, »nd prepared bv me; but if oxly the printed name is iftixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.
