Have q Deal OF Interest.
Why does the government spend so
much money and risk so many lives IN |
trying to capture the counterfeiter?
Suppose he does counterfeit govern
ment bonds and notes, surely the gov |
eminent is rich enough to stand any loss
his act may confer!
But the individual citizen could i'll af- |
ford TO be put to continual financial loss
if such desperadoes were let go I'M
whipped of justice.
1t is only the valuable thing that il
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.
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 pronounced before, in
curably sick of an extreme disorder. BY
suggestions which he believed We're
providential, he was led to the use of a
preparation which had been for several
years employed by select few physi-
clans 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
irrerocably, he determined to devote n
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 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 toerect labora-
tory and warehouse containing four and
a quarter acres of flooring and filled with
the most approved chemical and manu-
featuring devices. Probably there never
was remedy that has won such meri-
torious name, such extraordinary sales
and has accomplished so much good for
the race.
Unprincipled parties trho flourish only
upon the ruins of others, saw in this
| reputation and sale an opportunity to
reap golden harvest 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
larger profit ON these imitation goods,
often compromise their honor by fore
ing a sale upon the unposted customer.
Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers
could well afford to ignore such in
| stances of fraud so far as the effect upon
themselves is concerned, for their RENE
dies have constant and unremittlng
sale. but they feel it to he their duty to
trarn the public against such limitations
and substitutions, non-secret and other
wise. The individual who buys them
and the public who countenances their
| sale alone suffer in mind, body and es-
| tate therefor.
The authors of some of these fraudu-
lent 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 prosti-
tuted its high and holy calling so far as
to advertise that for twenty-five cents 1t
will send all new subscribers transcript
of the Warner formula! This formula,
| by the way, must be wonderfully ka-
leidescopic 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 for
mula of Warmers safe cure is (none that
have been published are anything like
it). but even if every man, woman and
child in the United States were as fami-
| liar with this formula as with their A,
B, C's they could not compound the rem
edy. The method of manufacture is

suits that are wrought by this remedy
if one does not have the perfect skill &C
quired only by years of practice for
compromising and assimllating the sim
| pie elements which enter into its COM
| position.
The learned DIR. Foster, the honored
head of Clifton Springs sanitarium, once
said that having roughly analysed Ibis
remedy he recognized that the elements
that compose it were simple but he at
tributed the secret of its power to the
method of its compromising, and this
method no one knows except the man.
ufacturers 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
misery, shun the imitator and refuse
!
those who seek to get, by trading upon
another's reputation and honesty, 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 compounds
into your system. When you call for
| Warmers Safe Cure see that the wrapper
| is black 1Cith achfte letters and that the
wrapper and label bear an imprint of an
iron safe, the trade mark, and that safe
| is blotrn an the back of the bottle and that
perfect 1c pr0miSS0Ty note stamp is
over the cork. You can't be imposed on
| il you observe these cautions.
We have the highest respect for the
remedy we have mentioned and the
highest regard for the manufacturers,
and we cannot too highly commend
their dignifed and considerate tone in
relation to those who would traduce
their fair name and ruin the best inter
est of the public in such matters.
Medical studies appear to be too
severe for the average woman. In En-
gland, according to the census of 1881,
the number of women ply sicians were
25. From 1880 to 1884 eight had been
placed in the lunatic asylum, and at
the end of last year three were under
treatment.
