A Personal CARD.
A Matter I'm which the Public
should Have IN Dea Of

Why does the government spend SO
much money and risk so many lives
in trying to capture the counterfeiter?
Suppose he does counterfeit gov
eminent bonds and notes, surely the
government is rich enough to stand
any loss his act may confer"
But the individual citizens could i'll
afford to be put to continual financial
loss if such desperadoes were let go
unwhipped OF justice.
1t is only the valuable thing that is
counterfeited it is only in the light of
purity and virtue that impurity and
vice can be known. No one in these
days would counterfeit Confederate
bond or note.
People who commit fraud always do
it by Stimulating the highest virtue
by preying 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, New
York state gentleman was pronounced,
as many millions have been pro-
nounced before, incurably sick of an
extreme disorder. BY suggestions
which he believed We're prOyidental,
he WAS led to the use of preparation
which had been for several years en-
ployed by a select few physicians i'll
New York city and one or two other
prominent places. The result was
that he was cured, he whom doctors
without number and of conceded abil-
ity said was incurable. Having Sc
cured possession OF the formula, cab
solutely and irrevocably," he deter
mined to devote portion of his accu
mulated 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
thes demand for this remedy and so
exalted the reputation, that he was
| obliged for his purposes to erect a
laboratory and Warehouse containing
| four and a quarter acres OF flooring
and filed with the most approved
chemical and manufacturing devices.
Probably there never was remedy
that has won such a meritorious name,
such extraordinary sales and has
accomplished so much good for the
race.
Unprincipled Parties, "who flourish
only upon the ruin of Others" saw in
this reputation and sale an opportun-
ity to reap golden harvest, (not
.legitimately, not honorably) for which
purpose they have made limitations
and substitutions of it in every sec
ton OF the country, and many drug
gists, who can make larger profit on
these imitation goods, often compro-
mise their honor by forcing a sale
upon the unpOsted customer.
Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers
could we'll afford to ignore such in
stances of fraud so far as the effect
upon themselves" is concerned, for
| their remedies have a constant and
unremitting sale, but they feel it to be
"their duty to warn the public" 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 therefor.

fraudulent practices have been prose
cuted 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 Jour-
nal, We are told, has prostituted its
high and holy calling so far as to ad-
vertise that for twenty-five cents it
will send all new subscribers a tran
script of the Warner formula! This
formula, by the way, must be Won
derfully Kaleidoscope affair, for there
is hardly 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 Warmers safe cure is,
(none that have been published are
| anything like iO, but even if every
man, woman and child in the United
States were as familiar with this form
ula as with their A B C's "they could
not compound the remedy" The
method of manufacture is secret. 1t
is impossible to obtain the results that
are wrought by this remedy if one
does not have the perfect skill ac-
guired only by years of practice for
compromising and assimilating the
simple elements which enter into its
| composition.
The learned DIR. Foster, the honored
head of Clifton Springs sanitarium,
once said that having roughly an
alyzcd this remedy he recognized that
that the elements that composed it
were simple, but he attributed the
secret Of its power to the method of
its compromising, and this method no
one knows except the manufacturers
and no one can acquired it.
Our advice to our readers, therefore,
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
As you would prefer virtue to vice,
