People who commit fraud always do it by
Stimulating the highest virtue; by proving
on the cleanest reputation, by employing
the fair name of virtue with which to give
responsibility to vice.
Let us explain: Seven or eight years ago,
so we have been informed many times in
public prints, N ew York State gentleman
was pronounced, as many millions have
been pronounced before, incurably sick of
an extreme disord er. By suggestions which
he believed were providen tial, he was led to
the use of a pre- paration which had been
for several years employed by a select few
physicians in New York city and one ortwo
other prominent places The result was
that he was cured, he whom doctors with
out number and of conceded ability said
was incurable Having secured possession
of the formula, absolutely 0Qd irreOOca6Ly he
determined to devote a portion of his ac-
cumulated wealth to the manufacture and
sale of this remedy for the benefit of the
many who suffer as he suffered, in apparent
hopelessness. In less than three years, so
tremendous became the demand for this
remedy and so exalted the reputation, that
he was obliged for his purposes to erect
laboratory and wareh ouse containing four
and a quarter acres of flooring and filled
with the most appro we'd chemical and man
ufacturing devices. Probably there never
was remedy that has won such meritori-
GUS name, such eXtrao rdlnary sales and has
accomplished so much good for the race
Unprincipled Parties Wh0 flourish only upon.
the ruins Of others, saw in this reputation and
sale an opportunity to reap a golden har-
vest mot legitimately, not honorably) for
which purpose they have made limitations
and substitutions of it in every section of
the country, and many druggists, who can
make a larger profit on these imitation
goods, often compromise their honor by
forcing a sale upon the unposted customer.
Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers
could well afford to ignore such instances
of fraud so far as the effect upon themselves
is concerned, for their remedies have a con-
slant and unremitting sale, but they feel it
to be their duty to 1Cdrnh the plbtjc against such
limitations and Substitutions, non-secret and
otherwise The individual who buys them
and the public who countenances their sale
alone suffer in mind, body and estate there
for.
The authors of some of these fraudulent
practices have been prosecuted and sent to
prison for their crimes, but there is another
class who claim to know the formula of this
remedy and one Sunday-school journal, we
are told has proStituted its high and holy
calling so far as to advertise that for TWEEN
ty-five cents it will send all new subscribers
transcript of the Warner formula This
formula, by the way, must be wonderful
ly Kaleidoscope affair, for there is hardly a
month passes when some paper is not issued
which pretends to give the only correct
formula
The manufacturers inform us that they
would be perfectly willing that the public
should know what the true formula of War
ner's safe cure is, (none that have been pub
lished are anything like it,, but even if ev-
cry man, woman and child in the United
States were as familiar with this formula
as with their A b C'S Heg could not COM
pound the remedy. The method of manufac-
| ture is secret. 1t is impossible to obtain
the results that are wrought by this remedy
| if one does not have the perfect skill ac-
quired only by years of practice for com
pounding and assimilating the simple ele-
| ments which enter into its composition.
The learned DR.. Foster, the honored head
| of Clifton Springs sanitarium, once said
that having roughly analysed this remedy
| he recognized that the elements that COM
pose it were simple but he attributed the
pounding and this method no one knows
except the manufacturers and no one can
acquire it.
Our advice to our readers, therefore, can
not be too strongly emphasized. AS you
would prefer virtue to vice, gold to dross,
physical happiness to physical misery,
shun the imitator and refuse thereby to
lend your aid financially to those who seek
to get, by trading upon another's reputa-
ton and honesty, a sale for wares and
goods which on their merits are fit only to
be rejected as the veriest refuse. You can
neither afford to patronize such people nor
can you afford to take their injurious COM
pounds into your system. When you call
for Warmers Safe Cure see that the wrap
per is black aoih achite letters and that the
wrapper and label bear an imprint of an
iron safe, the trade mark, and that safe is
bonn IN the back Of the bottle and that per-
feet &c proniSSOry note stamp is over the cork.
You can't be imposed on if you observe
these cautions.
We have the highest respect for the rem
edy we have mentioned and the highest re-
gard for the manufacturers, and we can not
too highly commend theirdignified and con-
siderate tone in relation to those who would
traduce their fair name and ruin the best
interest of the public in such matters
