I BEG most respectfully to caution the Austra. lasian Public against purchasing Ointment and Pills sold .hi my name unless they have the English Government Stamp affixed to the same, on which is engraved, in white letters, on a red and dark ground the words—" HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT, LONDON." The same also appear in the water-mark of the Book of Direc tions. lam informed that some parties are vending medicines which they are importing from the United States at a low price, and palming them off as being of my genuine manufacture. Some of these spurious medicines have a label affixed to imitate the English Stamp ; so tiiat much vigilance is required in order to detect the deception • by examining very minutely the. Stamp and Label affixed to the Pots and Boxes, as likewise the color and thickness of tlie paper, as also to the printing of the Books- of Directions. It is to be hoped that all who may read this CAUTION will make it known amongst their friends. Information of any nefarious practice of the kind should be to Messrs. Gordon and , Gotch, News' Agents, ; Collins-street West, Melbourne ; or to me, direct, 'V in London, when the necessaryeteps will be taken V in the matter.
