A PERSONAL CARD.
A Matter in which the Public Should
Have Deal Of Interest.
Why does the government spend SC
much money and risk so many lives in
trying to capture the counterfeiterP
Suppose he does counterfeit govern
ment bonds and n otes, surely the gov
ernment is rich enough to stand any
loss his act may confer!''
But the individual citizen could i'll
afford to be put to continual financial
loss if such desperadoes were let 60 un
whipped 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, a New York
state gentleman was pronounced, as
many millions have been pronounced
before, incurably sick of an extreme
disorder. BY suggestions which he be-
lieved were providential, he was led to
the use of a preparation which had
been for several years employed by a
select few physicians in New York city
and one or two other prominent places.
The result was that he was cured, he
wnom doctors without number and of
conceded ability said was incurable.
Having secured possession of the for
mula, absolutely and irrecocably, he de-
termined to devote 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
warehouse containing four and quar-
ter acres of flooring and filled with the
most approved chemical and manufac-
turing devices. Probably there never
was a remedy that has won such
meritorious name, such extraordinary
sales and has accomplished so much
good for the race
Unprincipled Parties echo flourish only
upon the ruins Of others. saw in this
reputation and sale an opportunity to
reap a golden harvest, (not legitimate
ly, not honorably) for which purpose
they have made limitations and substi-
tutions 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 sale upon the unposted
customer.
Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers
could well afford to ignore such instan-
ces of fraud so far as the effect upon
themselves is concerned, for their
remedies have constant and unre-
mitting sale, but they feel it to be their
duty to acarn the public against such
limitations and substitutions, non-secret
and otherwise. The individual who
buys them and the public who counte-
Dances their sale alone suffer in mind,
body and estate 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 prostituted its high and holy call
ing so far as to advertise that for twenty
five cents it will send all new subscrij-
erS transcript of the Warner formula! :!
This formula, by the way, must be a
wonderfully kaleidoscope affair, for
there is hardly month passes when
some paper is not issued which pre-
tends 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 form
ula 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 cou2d not compound the
remc'ly. The method of manufacture
Is a secret. 1t is impossible to obtain
the results that are wrought by this
remedy if one does not have the per-
feet skill acquired only by years of
practice for compounding and assimil-
ating the simple elements which enter
into its composition.
The learned DIR. Foster, the honored
head of Clifton Spring sanitarium,
once said that having roughly analyzed
this remedy he recognized that the ele-
lnents that compose it were simple but
he attributed the secret Of its power to
the method of its compounding, and
this method no one knows except the
manufacturers 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 thereby to lend your aid finan-
c!ally to those who seek to get, by
trading upon anothcr's reputation and
honesty, a sale for wares and goods
which on their merits are tit 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 ,cith
achitc letters and that the wrapper and
label bear an imprint of an iron sute the
trade mark, and that safe is dlown IN
the back Of the bottle and that a perfect
lc promlssory note stamp is over the
cork. You cant be imposed on if 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 digniticd and considcrate tone in
relation to those who would traduce
their fair name and ruin the best inter-
est of the public in such matters.
