To the readers Of tie FIoridian -
Why does the government epend. 90
much money and risk SO many lives In
trying to capture the counterfeiter 81
Suppose he does counterfeit govern
ment bonds and notes, surely the govern
ment is rich enough to stand any loss his
act may conferw
But the individual citizen could iii AZ
ford TO beput to continual financial loss
il such desperadoes were let 60 unwhip-
ded of justice.
1t is only the valuable thing that is
countefeited; it is only in the light Of
purity and virtue that impurity and vice
can be known. No one in these days
would counterfeit a 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 respectabilitY TO vice.
Let us explain: Seven or eight years
ago, so we have been informed many
times in public prints, a New York State
gentleman was pronounced, as many mil
lions have been pronounced before, incur
ably sick of an extreme disorder. By
suggestions which he believed were prov
idential, he was led to the use of prep
aration which had been for several years
employed by select few physicians in
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 ability said was
incurable. Having secured possession of
the formula, absolutely and irrecocabiy,
he determined to devote portion of his
accumulated wealth to the manufacture
and sale of this remedy for the benefit of
the many who suffer as he suffered, in ap-
parent hopelessness. In less than three
years, so tremendous became the demand :
for this remedy and so exalted the repu-
tation, that he was obliged for his pur-
poses to erect laboratory and warehouse
containing four and a quarter acres of
flooring and filled with the most approved
chemical aud 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.
Unprncipled parties soho flourish only
upon the ruins Of Others, saw in this repu-
tation and sale an opportunity to reap q
golden harvest, mot legitlmately, 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 thes. 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 instances
of fraud SO far as the effect upon them
selves is concerned, for their remedies
have a constant and unremitting sale, but
they feel it to be their duty to ,carn the
public against such limitations and substi-
tutions, non-secret and otherwise. The
individual who buys them and the public
who countenances their sale alone suffer
i'll mind, body and estate therefor.
The authors of some of these fraudulent
practices have been prosecuted and sent
to prison for their crimes, but there is an
other class who claim to know the formu-
lar of this remedy and one Sunday school
journal, We are told, has prostituted its
high and holy calling so far as to adver-
tise that for twenty cents it will send
all new subscribers 4 transcript of the
Warner formula !! This formula, by the
way, must be wonderfully KALEIDOSCOPE
ic affair, for there is hardly a month pas
ses when some paper is not issued which
pretends to give the only correct form
ula!
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 it,) but
even il every man, woman and child in the
United States were as familiar with this
formular as with their A B Cps they could
not compound the remedy. The method
OF manufacture Is a secret 1t is impos-
sible to obtain the results that are wrought
by this remedy if one does not have the
perfect skill acquired only by years of
practice for compromising and assimilating
the simple elements 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 compose it were simple but he at
tributed the secrets of its power to the
method of its compromising, and this
method no one knows except the manu-
facturers and no one can acquire it.
Our advice to our readers, therefore,
cannot be too strongly emphasized. As
you would prefer virtue to vice, gold to
dross, physical happiness to physical mis-
cry, shun the imitator and refuse thereby
to lend your aid financially to those who
seek to get, by trading upon another's
reputation and honesty, a sale for wares
and goods which on their merits are 6t
only to be rejected as the yeriest refuse.
You can neither afford to pasronize such
people nor can you afford to take their
injurious compounds into your system.
When you call for Warmers Safe Cure
see that the wrapper is 6lack scith .ch;te
letters and that the wrapper and label
bear an imprint of an iron safe, the
trade mark, and that . safe is btoscn ia the
back of the bottle and that perfect 1c.
fromissory note stamp is over the cork.
You can't be imposed on if you observe
these cautions
We have the highest respect for the
remedy we have mentioned and the high
est regard for the manufacturers, and We
cannot too highly commend their digni-
fed and considerate tone in relation to
those who would traduce their fair name
and ruin the best interest of the public in
such matters
