Beware of Counterfeits!// '■
I HAVE detected T. W. Diorr, a
Druggist in Philadelphia, in the
habit of counterfeiting my Patent New
Lom/onßillious Pills”—and disposing of
his spurious imitations; with the intent of
deceiving the public as for my genuine
Pills, so well known and approved. —
Having reason to be’ieve, that he has
sent some of his counterfeitis for sale at
Augusta, and other Southern Ci i“8, I
deem It to be my duty to caution the
citizens who are familiarized to the ef
fects and operations of my genuine Pa
tent Pills, as well as others, to be on
their guard in purchasing as the Ise
Pills are, and of course must be entirely
a different Medicine.
The counterfeit bill of direction on
each box, is an exact copy of the true bill,
but the letter " * to” in the signature of
my name 6. H. P. Lee, is by mistake of
the printer made like an “Jj ” thus
U ” ' v^iereas * n the genuine bill the
letter is made thus ”a distinction
so notorious that by only casting the eye
to the signature in script type,always re
membering that if the letter ” is
brought round at bottom like iinil J[j”
instead of terminating to the left with a
dot, it is certainly counterfeit.
'The Counterfeit Box hgsniy name S.
I|. P. LEE stamped upon the covers,
without any indentation of the tin; but,
tlfe genuine stamps make a depression
th * w idth of the letters; the top part of
the letter?, in the genuine stamp upon
(he covers of the boxes, is perceptibly
lower than the line of the others—the
counterfeits are on a line, a handsome
letter, and stamped without depressing
(he tin—the counterfeit Pjlls are of a
dark brown couluur—the genuine arc of
a bluish cast.
Caleb Tayler, and Peter Lehman
Druggists in Philadelphia, have also
been detected counterfeiting my Pills;
both have omitted (knowing it to be for
gery) affixing my name to the covers of
the boxes, or bills of directions; Lehman
puls his own name to (he covers of the
boxes, and Taylor upon the bill, and
leaves the cover of the box without any
lett' rs—These arc so palpable, that the
purchaser can at once preccive their false
character, in the want of my name at the
bottom of the bill and upon the covers of
the boxes. I (rust an intelligent and
discerning public will, from motives of
safety, frown upon such nefarious at
tempts to deceive them, and destroy
their wicked designs "by caVcfully observ
ing the above caution in purchasing. My
genuine Pills as usual, may always be,

WARE-HOUSE.
WALTER LEIGH, Esq. of this

of tiie subscribers, at the foot of the
Bridge, where convenient and substan
tial Stores, the best of Coopers, and eve
ry other convenience and facility for the
satisfaction and quick dispatch of cast
tomers have been provided;
From the experience of these gentle
men, as Inspectors, the eligible sitda
tion of the subscribers’ Ware House, the
security of their Stores, adapted to every
kind of Merchandise and Produce, and
the promptness and punctuality with
which they will attend to orders and con

eral share of patronage. Their charges
will be the same as at the other Ware-

will be afforded to those who may favor
