IMPORTANT NOTICE I THE Attention of the Public is hereby called to the -L unprincipled and dishonest attempts of some Tradesmen to substitute preparations for GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS, of which Mr. Gwilym Evans is the sole inventor and patentee. These men have no brains to invent, but are mean and cunning" Enough to try to copy the inventions of others, and this they do as far as they think the law will permit. Now, the men who try to substitute a worthless, and per- haps injurious medicinal preparation for another of acknowledged repute and efficacy, are deliberately trying not only to injure and defraud the proprietors of the medicine, but also to deceive and cheat their customers; and if they are capable of resorting to such mean and base practices in a case of this sort, it is but fair to infer that they will try to deceive their customers in all other instances when an opportunity offers, and that they are therefore unworthy olpublic confidence. GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS has been before the public for nearly twenty years, and during that period its efficacy and medicinal properties have successfully stood every test made of them by per- sons competent to judge of its merits. PURCHASERS are requested to note and remember the following facts, when purchasing Quinine Bitters :— No Bottle is sent out without the name "GWILYX EVANS' QUININE BITTERS" blown into the glass. No Government Stamp is attached without the name "GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS" engraved on it. No Label is affixed without the name GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS" printed on it. Any preparation offered under the title of QUININE BITTERS," but which does not bear these tokens, is a SPURIOUS AND BASE IMITATION. AFTER THIS NOTICE, we hope that if any purchaser is offered .any other pre- paration as a substitute for GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS on the plea that it is equally as good and much cheaper, he will decline, and refuse the same with the indignation of one who is aware that HE IS BEING IMPOSED UPON. It is to be hoped also that Purchasors and Tradesmen generally will use their utmost endeavours to discoun- tenance and put down these fraudulent and dishonest practices.
