why Toes the government spend so
much mon sy and risk so many lives in
trying to capture the counterfeiter?
saSuppose he does counterfeit govern
ment bonds and notes, surely the gov
eminent is rich enough to stand any loss
his act may conferl"
But the individual citizen could i'll
afford to be put to continual financial
loss II such desperadoes were let go un.
whipped of justice.
1t is only the valuable thing that is
counterfeited; it is only in the light of
purity and virtue that mpurity 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
preying on the cleanest reputation, by
emp Toying the fair name of virtue with
which to give responsibility to vice.
Let US explain; Seven or eight years
ago ESQ we have been informed many
times in public prints) a New York gem
tleman was pronounced, as many mil
lions have been pronounced before, IN
curably sick OF an extreme disorder. BY
suggestions which lie believed were
providential, he was led to the use of
preparation which had been for several
years employed by a 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
irreyocably, he determined to devote
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 to erect lab
oratory and warehouse containing four
and quarter acres OF flooring, and filled
with the most approved chemical and
manufacturing devices. Probably there
never was remedy that has won such
meritorious name, such extraordinary
sales, and has accomplished 50 much
good for the race.
Unprincipled parties, who flourish
only on the ruins Of others, saw in this
reputation and sale an opportunity TO
reap golden harvest mot 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
larger profit on these imitation goods,
often compromise their honor by fore
| ing sale upon the unposted customer.
Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers
could well afford to ignore such in
stances Of fraud so far as the effect upon
themselves Is concerned, for their RENE
dies have constant and unremitting
sale, but they feel it to be their duty to
warn the public against such limitations
and substilutions, non-secret and other
wise. The individual who buys them,
and the public who countenances 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 prostt-
tuted It's high and holy calling so far as
to advertise that for twenty-five cents 1t
will send all new subscribers tran
script of tie Warner formula. This for
nula, By the way, must be wonderfully
Kaleidoscope 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 pub
lie should know what the true formula
of Warmers Safe Cure is (none that
have been published are anything like
III, but even if every man, woman. and
familiar with this formula as with their
A B C's they could not compound The
remedy. The method OF manufacture
is secret. 1t is impossible to obtain
the results that are wrought by this
remedy IL one does not have the perfect
skill acquired only by years Of practice,
for compounding and sssimilasing the
simple elements which enter into its
composition.
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 1t were simple. bat he at
tributed the secret OF It's power TO the
method OF its compromising. and this
method no one knows except the manu-
facturers. and no one can acquire il.
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, sale
for wares and goods which on their
merits are ut 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 Nth white letters. and that the
wrapper and label bear an imprint Of an
iron safs, the trade mark, and that safe
is biowR in The back Of the bottle. and that
perfect lie promissory note stamp is over
the cork You can't be imposed on IL
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
dignified and considerate tone in relation
to those who would traduce their fair
name, and ruin the best interest OF the
public in such matters.
