A PERSONAL CARD.
A Matter in Which the Public Should
Have a Deal of Interest.

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 IN
whipped of justice.
1t is only the valuable thing that i
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 were
pro vidential, 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
GrreUOcabIy, he determined to devote q
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 a 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 arho flourish only
upon the ruins of others, saw in this
reputation and sale an opportunity to
reap a golden harvest mot legitimatelv,
not honorably), for which purpose they
have made limitations and substitutions

and many druggists, who can make a
larger profit on these imitation goods,
ing a sale upon the unposted customer.
Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers
could well afford to ignore such in
ances of fraud so far as the effect upon
themselves is concerned, for their RENE
dies have a constant and unremitting
sale, but they feel it to be their duty to
aUar71 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 it
will send all new subscribers transcript
of the Warner formulai This formula,
by the way, must be wonderfully ka-
leidescopic affair, for there is hardly a
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 fani-
liar with this formula as with their A,
B, C's they could not compound the rem
edy. The method of manufacture is a
secret. 1t is impossible to obtain the re-
suits that are wrought by this remedy
if one does not have the perfect skill ac-
quired only by years of practice for
compromising and assimilating the SIM
pie elements which enter into it's COM
position.
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 secret of its power to the
method of it's 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
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 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 aUith achite letters and that the
wrapper and label bear an imprint of an
iron safe, the trade mark, and that safe
is bloac7a IN the back of the bottle and that
perfect &c prom1tssory 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
highest regard for the manufacturers,
and we cannot too highly commend
their digniied and considerable tone in
relation to those who would traduce
their fair name and ruin the best inter
est of the public in such matters.
