A  Distressing  Case. 
In  the  December  number,  1884,  appeared  an  advertisement  with  the  above  heading,  coming  from  a 
person  who  has  gone  South.  Inquiries  made  since  that  time,  both  in  Philadelphia  and  New  York,  failed 
to  find  the  alleged  John  Dale,  from  Plymouth,  nor  is  anything  known  there  of  such  "a  distressing  case  " 
The  contributions  which  have  been  received  iu  answer  to  the  advertisement,  have  therefore  been  returned 
with  the  thanks  of  the  Editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy.
