A trouble is, we tail IN securing n
lively co operation among the people
The rogues often get week or a
month start among the people, and
do their mischief before we find them
out for exposure in the Herald. And
they often so dearly ingratiate them
selves with the people, that il is
measarably unsafe to expose them.
Lately we exposed q pretended pat

expression of Indignation to stop a

independence in exposing impostures

terprises. 1t is surely an easy mat
ter 10 discriminate in men and bust
ness There arc agents for machines
and business worthy as can be, and
to suspect all men would be to con.
denim enterprise itself Transcien
and speciality doctors as class may
be spurned, and so may be the teach
ers of new religious. For surely the
Medical schools have discov ered moth

conceal nothing from the medical fra
ternity. Nor has Almighty God sent
out any new religion Of late, nor has
He authorised any teachers of new
doctrines.
