TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK JOURNAL OF PHARMACY:—

Dear Sir,—I would direct the attention of druggists and apothecaries to an article sold in New York, purporting to be quinine, put up so as to resemble the French.

It has somewhat the appearance of that article, but upon examination will be found to be totally devoid of bitterness, &c. I should suppose it to be mannite.

I am led to believe that 500 ounces have already been shipped to the West, and some has been sold in this vicinity.

I hope that your numerous subscribers may profit by this hint, and that the parties selling the same as quinine, may be frustrated in their nefarious traffic.

Your obedient servant, R. J. D.
