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

Have q Deal of Interest.
Why does the Governmentspen 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 confer!"
But the individual citizen could ill afford
to be put to continual financial loss if such
desperadoes were let go unwhipped of
justice.
It is only the valuable thing that is coun-
forfeited; it is only in the light of purity
and virtue that impurity and vice can be
known. No one in these days would coun,
terfeit a 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
been pronounced before, incurably sick of
an extreme disorder BY suggestions which
he believed were providentiaI, he was led to
the use of q pre- paration which had been
for several years employed by a select few
physicians in New York city and one ortwo
OoAOI P1dSCos luc 1eSulU 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 i''evoca6y, 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
hOpelessness. In less than three years, so
tremendous became the demand for this
remedy and SO exalted the reputation, that
ne was obliged for his purposes to erect a
laboratory and wareh ouse containing four
and a quarter acres of flooring and filled
with the most approved chemical and man
ufacturing devices. Probably there never
was a remedy that has won such a meritori-
Gus name, such extraordinary sales and has
accomplished SO much good for the race.
U~nprincipled Parties uho flourish omzy upon
the rwins Of Others, saw in this reputation and
sale an opportunity to reap a golden har-
vest, (not 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 nonor by
forcing a sale upon the unposted customer.
Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers
of fraud so far as the effect upon themselves
is concerned, for their remedies have a con-
slant and unremitting sale, but they feel it
to be their duty to Weyn the public against such
limitations and s~ubstitutions, non-secret and
otherwise. Ii individual who buys them
and the public who ~countenances their sale
alone suffer in mind, body and estate there
for.
The authors of 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 it's high and holy
calling 50 far as to advertise that for TWEEN
ty-five cents it will send all new subscribers
a transcript of the Warner formula! This
ly Kaleidoscope affair, for there is hardly a
month passes when some paperis not issued
which pretends to give the only correct
formula!
The manufacturers inform us that they
would be perfectly willing that the public
ner's safe cure is, none that have been pub
lished are anything like it), but even if ev-
cry man, woman and child in the United
States were as familiar with this formula
as with their A B C's hg; coula mot COM
pound 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 pot have the perfect skill ac-
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
of Clifton Springs s%anitarium, once said
that having roughly analysed this remedy
he recognized that the elements that COM
pose it were simple but he attributed the
secret of it's power to the method of it's 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 inlitator and refuse thereby to
lend your aid financially to those who seek
to get, by trading upon another's reputa-
ton and honesty, a sale for wares and
goods which on their merits are fit only t.
be rejected as the veriest refuse. You can
neither afford to patronize such people nor
can you afford to take their injurious COM
pounds into your system. When you call
for Warmers Safe Cure see that the wrap
per is black y1M achite letters and that the
wrapper and label bear an imprint of an
iron safe, the trade mark, and that a safe is
6loWm IN the back Of the bottle and that a per-
feet fc pronaisSory note stamp isover the cork.
You can't be imposed on if you observe
these cautions.
We nave the highest respect for the rem
edy we have mentioned and the highest re-
gard for the manufacturers, and we can not
too highly commend theirdignifed and con-
siderate tone in relation to those who would
traduce their fair name and ruin the best
interest of the public in such matters.
