a PERSONAL CARD.
A Matter in Which the Public shonAd
Have 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 Govern
ment is rich enough TO stand any loss his
act may conferp'
But the individual citizen could i'll afford
TO be put to continual financial loss If such
desperadoes were let go unwhipped Of
justice.
1t is only the valuable thing that is couu-
terfeited; it is only in the light of purity
and virtue that impurity and vice can be
known. No one in these days would couu-
terfeit Confederate bond or note
People who commit fraud always do it by
Stimulating the highest virtue; by preying
ON the cieanest reputation, by employing
the fair name of virtue with which to give
respectability to vice.
Letus 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, incurably sick of
he believed were providential, he was led to
the use of preparation 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 with
out number and of conceded ability said
was incurable. Having secured possession
of the formula, absolutely and irreVocd6ly, he
determined to devote q 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
hope1essnesS. 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 a
laboratory and warehouse containing four
= r,E
with the most approved chemical and man
ufactuIing devices. Probably there never
was a remedy that has sWon such a meritoTi-
Gus name, such extraordinary sales and has
accomplished SO much good for the race
Unprincipled Parties 9Qho flourish 01sl2J anon
the ruins Of others, saw in this reputation and
sale an opportunity to reap golden bar
vest, fnot 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 a larger profit on these imitation
goods, often compromise their honor by
forcing sale upon the nnposted customer.
Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers
could well afford to ignore such instances
of fraud SO far as the effect upon Themselves
is concerned, for their remedies have a con-
stant and unremitting sale, but they feel it
to be their duty to aDGr7, the public against such
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 there
for.
The authors os some of these fraudulent
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
calling SO far as to advertise that for twen-
ty-five cents it will send all new subscribers
a transcript of the Warner formulal This
formula, by the way, must be a wonderful
ly kaleidoscope affair, for there is hardly
month passes when some paperis not issued
which pretends to give the only correct
formulai
The manufacturers inform us that they
would be perfectly willing that the public
should know what the true formula of War
ner's safe cure is, tnone that have been pub
lished are anything like itJ, but even if ev-
cry man, woman and child in the United
States were as familiar with this fornui.s
as with their A B C's trey could not corr
poatasd the remedy. The method of manufac-
ture is a. secret. 1t is impossible to obtain
the results that are wrought by this remedy
if one does not have the perfect skill ec-
quired only by years of practice for COM
pounding and assimilating the simple ele-
ments which enter into its composition.
The learned DR.. Foster, the honored head
that having roughly analyzed this remedy
he recognized that the elements that com
pose it were simple but he attributed the
secret of its power to the method of its com
pounding, and this method no one knows
except the manufacturers and no one can
acquire it.
Our advice to our readers, therefore, can
not 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
10 get, by trading upon another's reputa-
ion and honesty, a sale for wares and
goods which on their merits are fit only to
be rejected as the yeriest refuse. You can
neither afford to patronize such people nor
can you afford to take their injurious corn
pounds into your system. When you cali
