A n1attor In Which the Puciic should
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 gov
eminent bonds and notes, surely the
government is rich enough to stand
any loss his act may confer!"
But the individual citizen could i'll
afford TO be put tocontinued financial
loss if such dasperados were let 90 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 q 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, Anew York state
gentleman was pronounced, as many
millions have been pronounced before,
incurably sick of an extreme disorder.
BY suggestions which he believed were
providential, he was led to the use of
q preparation which had been for sew
eral years employed by a select few
physicians in New York city, and one
or two other prominent places. The

doctors without number and of con-
coded ability said was incurable. Hav-
ing secured possession OF the formula,
absolutely and irrevocably, he deter
mined to devote a portion of his &C
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 50 exalted
the reputation, that he was obliged
for his purpose to erect q laboratory
and warehouse containing four and o
quarter acres offiooring and filled with
the most approved chemical and man.
featuring devices. Probably there new
er was a remedy that has won such a
meritorious name, such extraordinary
sales, and has accomplished SO much
good Tor the race.
Unprincipled parties who flourish
only upon the ruins of Others, saw in
this reputation and sale an opportu-
nifty to reap a golden harvest, mot

purpose they have made limitations
and substitut;ons of it in every sec

gists, who can make a larger profit on
these imitation goods, often comprom-
Use their honor by forcing a 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, fos
their remedies have a constant and
unremitting sale but they seel it to be
their duty to warn the public against
such limitations and substitutions;
non-secret and otherwise. The indi-
vidual who buys them and the public
who c~ountenances their sale alone
suffer in mind, body and estate there
for.
The authors of some OF thesefraudu-
lent practices have been prosecuted
and sent to prison for their crimes,
sbut their Is another class who claim
to know the formula of this remedy
and one Sunday scool journal, we are
told, has prostituted its high and holy
calling so far as to advertise that for
twenty-five cents it will send allnew
subscribers a transcript ofthe Warner
formula! This formula, by the way,
must be a wonderfully kaleidoscope
affair, for there is hardly a month
passes when some paper is not issued
which pretends to give the only or
rect formula!
The manufacturers inform us that
they would be perfectly wiling that
the public shouldknow what the true

thing like lt), but even if every man,
woman and child in the United States
were as familiar with this formula as
with their ABC's they could not
compound the remedy. The method
OF manufacture is a secret. 1t is i'm

does not have the perfect skill acquir-

elements which enter into its compo-

The learned DIR. Foster, the honored
head of Clifton Springs sanitarium,
once said that having roughly an

the elements that compose it we're
simple but he attributed the secret of
it's power to the method of it's com

knows except the manufacturers and
no one a acquire it.
