BEWARE OF DECEPTION U J ATTEMPTS have recently been made by a house in the City of New York, to prac tice one of the most unblushing impositions ever conceived by the most designing. It is know that “Rowand’s Tonic Mixture,” after an extensive trial of ils merits throughout the country, has proved its usefulness to such universal satisfaction as a thorough and radical cure for Fever and Ague, as to have become identified with the necessities ofa great portion of the inhabitants of the United States. The unbounded popularity,therefore, that this medicine has secured to itself, has excited die cupidity of certain no strum-venders of notoriety who have dared to mix up a trash hoping to put it off upon the ignorant and unwary as the genu ine “Rowand’s Tonic Mixture.” For this pur jjose they have substituted a fictitious name in sound and appearance very similar to the true “Rowand’s Tonic Mixture.” The border of the envelope has been very closely imitated, and one half of its reading matter purloined where by the copyright of the author has been infring ed; and have without authority and fraudulent ly made useof the namesand certificates of high ly respectable individuals, who have testified to the value and excellence of the true “Rowand’s Tonic Mixture,” attaching the same to the base and spurious imitation. This trick cannot suc ceed amongst the careful and intelligent part of the community—but is calculated to deceive to a dangerous extent the ignorant and uncau itious. Legal proceedings, however, will be im mediately instituted to punish the fraud, and at <the same time an appeal is earnestly made to all who may have an opportunity to expose the imposture, toextend their influence in order to protect distress and sufffering from such inhu man designs. N. B.—The genuine “Rowand’s Tonic Mix ture” may be had of W.m. J. Hobby, sole agent for Angusta and its vicinity. July 30 3t 91 MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA.
