much money and risk so many lives | in trying to capture the counterfeiter? |
 Suppose he does counterfeit gov ernment bonds and notes, surely the | government is rich enough to stand | any loss his act may confer"
 But the individual citizens could ill | afford to be put to continual financial l loss if such desperadoes were let go | unwhipped of justice.
 It 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 a Confederate bond or note.
 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 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 winch he believed were providental, he was led to the use of a preparation which had been for several years cm- ployed by d 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 abil- ity said was incurablc. Having se- cured possession of the formula, lab 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 hopel"ssness. 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 warehouse containing four and a quarter acres of flooring and filled with the most approved chemical and manufacturing devices. Probably there never was a remedy that has won such meritorious name, such extraordinary sales anl has accomplished so much gool for the race.
 Unprincipled Parties, "who flourish only upon the ruin of others" saw in this reputation and sale an oprortun- ity to reap a golden harvest, (not legitimately, not honorably) for which purpose they have made limitations and substitutions of it in every sec tion of the country, and many drug pists, who can make larger profit on these imitation goods, often compro- mise their honor by forcing 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 constant and unremit,ing sale, but they feel iy 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 1 The authors of some of these fraudulent practices have been prose- cuted and sent to prison for their crimes, but there is another class who l 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
