A PERSONAL CARD.


A Matter in which the Public Should
Have Deal of Interest.
Why does the Government spend so much
money and risk somany lives in trying to
capture the counterfeiterl
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 i'll afford
to be put to continual financial loss il such
desperadoes were let 60 unwhipped Of
justice.
It is only the valuable thing that is coun-
terfeited; 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 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
respectability to vice.
Let us 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, incurnhly sick of
an extreme disorder. BY suggestions which
he believed were providential, be was led to
the use q r IN se eHd fs~
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 incurables Having secured possession
of the formula, absolutely aud irrevoca6ly, he
determined to devote 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

was a remedy that has won such meritori-

Yes, undoubtedly the manufacturers

to be their duty to ,carn the public against such

and the public who countenances their sale
alone suffer in mind, body and estate there

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 heformula OF this
