I.

IN

addressing

the

Public

on

a

subject

of

such

importance

as

the

detection

and

exposure

of

fraud,

especially

when

the

health

and

comfort

of

all

classes

of

the

community

is

concerned,

it

is

neces-

sary,

to

a

forcible

and

efficient

appeal,

that

the

person

so

addressing

himself

have

considerable

ex-

perience

relative

to

the

nature

of

the

frauds

in-

tended

to

be

exposed,

and

that

he

be

able

to

pro-

duce

facts

in

support

of

the

arguments

which

he

may

see

it

necessary

to

advance.

That

I

can

enforce

the

object

1

have

in

view,

in

both

these

respects,

I

have

every

expectation

;

and

I

trust,

that

my

labours

may

operate

as

some

check

to

the

continuance

of

that

which

really

exists,

as

a

most

serious

evil.

That

the

sale,

through

the

medium

of

advertise-

ments

and

printed

bills,

of

a

spurious

article

for

the

genuine,

deserves

the

exposure

of

every

honest

tradesman,

and,

if

the

fact

be

proved,

the

repro-

bation

of

every

member

of

society,

I

should

think

no

one

will

attempt

to

deny,

as

the

character

of

the

former,

and

the

health

and

pockets

of

the

latter,

both

essentially

suffer

by

the

system.
