A PERSONAL CARD.
A Matter in Watch tie Public Should A<sse
Deal of Interest.

Why does the government spend 80 Mueh
money and risk so many lives in trying to
capture the counterfeiter?
Suppose he does counterfeit government
bonds and notes, surely the government Is
rich enough to stand any loss his act may
| conferr'
But the individual citizen could i'll afford
| to be put to continual financial loss If such
desperadoes were let go unwhipped of jus
tice
1t is only the valuable thipg 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 counterfeit a
| Confederate bond or note.
People who commits fraud always do it by
stimulating the highest virtue; by preyfng on
the clesnest reputation, by employing the
fair name of virtue with which to give re-
spectabiiry to vice.
Let Us explain: Seven or eight years ago.
so We have been informeS many times in
public prints; New York State gentleman
was pronouzced, as many millions have been
pronounced before, ineurably sick of an ex-
treme disorder. BY suggestions which he
believed were proyidential he was led to the
use of preparation which had been for sew
eral years employed by select few physi-
clans in New York City and one e1 tive other
prominent places. The result YES that he
was cured, he wbSm doctors without num-
Der and of conceded ability said was incur
able. Having secured posse Of tie form
ula. absolutely and irTevocably, ke deter
mined to devote a portion OF his accumu-
lated wealth to the manufacture and sale of
this remedy for the bsneft of the many who
suffer as he suffered in apparent h6peie~-
ness. In less than thee years, so Tremendous
became the demand fer this remedy ard 50
exalted the reputation, that he was Obliged
for his purposes to erect a laboratory aud
warehouse. containing our and a qUaEer
acres of flooring and filed with the moss APP
proved chemical and manufacturing de-
vices. Probably there never was a remedy
that has won such meritorio1s name, such
extraordinary sales and has accomplished so
much good for the race.
Unprincipled parties who flourish only
upon the ruins of Others. saw in this reputar
ton and sale an opportunity TO reap golden
harvest, mot legitimately, not honorablyr
for which purpose they have made imita-
tions 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 forcing a
sale upon the unposted customer.
Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers
fraud so far as the effect upon themselves
is concerned. for their remedies have con-
slant and unremitting sale, bC9 they feel it
to be their duty to warn the public against
such limitations and substit,Dtions, nom
secret and otherwise. The individual who
buys them and the public who conntenances
their sale alone suffer in mind, body and es-
tate therefor.
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 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 formula This
formula, by the way, must be wonderfully
kaleidoscope affair, for there is hardly
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 formula of War
ners safe cure is none that have been pub
lished are anything like it, but even if every
man, woman and child in the United States
were as familiar with this formula as with
their A B Cs, 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 if one does
not nave the perfect skill acquired only DIV
years of practice for compromising and assim-
Hating the simple elements which enter into
its composition.
The learned DIR. 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 attributed the secret of
its power to the method of its compromising,
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 to get, by
trading upon another's reputation and hon
esty, 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 compounds into your
system. When you call for Warmers Safe
Cure see that the wrapper is black with
white letters and that the wrapper and label
bear an imprint of an iron safe, the trade
mark, and that safe is blown in the back
of the bottle and that a perfect one-cent
promissory note stamp is over the cork, You
can't be imposed on if you observe these
cautions
We have 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 their dignifed and con-
slderate ,e in relation to those who would
traduce their far name and ruin the best in
terests of the public in such matters.
