 right to show one thing in his window 

 marked for sale, then persuade you into

 "One man may steal a horse but another must

 an empiric daily putting advertisements in our 

 public journals that are known by some to be 

 false representations. For instance, we may see 



an advertisement headed 



'« DEAFNESS INSTANTLY CURED ! 



** Those affected with this calamity will learn with pleasure

 less in its application, which instantly removes deafness ; 

 its effect is as instantaneous as it is miraculous. Thousands 

 who have been deaf for years have had their hearing 

 instantly- restored.
