The following extract is published by Dr. Lee's au
thority, viz:—
Extract of a letter, written by a vgry respectable gen
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.
Baltihobx, August, 1828.
Doctor S. H. P. Lxz, New London, Conn.
Dkah See—It is now upwards of twenty years that I
have used your New London Bilious 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 tbeir early and timely
use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary
in their operation and effects until a few months past;
and haviog, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve
ry instance of using them, I 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 Yorlc newspaper, designating spurious
imitations from your own manufacture, by having your
WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each hill of directions,
and that in no instance were the imitations signed with
pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other
respact. Finding those l 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 pills, With your written signature. I
found many without this test, but none with it, until 1
came to the Messrs Keerts', 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 my
self in possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that
that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this
inrormaiion.
tfj* To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu
rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has
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,
and prepared by me; but if ovly the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.
