“ The 'ordinary calcined magnesia' is that sold in bulk and by the pound, and dutiable at 12 cents a pound. It was undoubtedly to reach just such medicinal preparations as this-the monopoly of a particular person, commanding a price due to a special mode of manufacture, sold in bottles, having a name attached identifying the manufacturer as the proprietor of all that imparted the special merit and produced the special price-that the special revenue tax was laid. ”

“ Henry, of Manchester, have received frequent complaints that their calcined magnesia is counterfeited in the United States, and having been furnished with specimens of spurious and very inferior imitations there vended, in bottles similarly moulded, and with forged stamps and bills of direction, beg leave to caution the consumers of their magnesia in America to purchase it only of persons whose character is such as to preclude their selling a spurious article knowing it to be such. ”

“ Druggists and storekeepers are informed that Messrs. J. and S. Ferguson, (late Ogden, Ferguson & Co.,) merchants, of New York, are the sole wholesale agents, authorized by Messrs. Henry in the United States, and that the article may be constantly had of them genuine, and on the best terms. ”
