He has seen these goods advertised in your
paper (Which has brought them customers)
telling of their virtues and what they will
do and cure they are the very thing he
wants; but here the dealers get in their
work by the SUBSTITUTE racket; they tell the
purchaser that they have not got Hoods
Sarsaparilla, Carters Little Liver Pills,
Scottss Emulsion, Morgan's Sapolio, St.
Jacobs Oil, DR.. Pierce's Discovery, Syrup
sion, Pozzonis Powder, etc, but he has
our own make" or Everetts' Sarsaparilla,

sion, Artemus Wards Sapolio, Sandlass'
Oil, Or. Smiths Discovery, Barret's Soap,
Dr. Whitcomb's Emulsion, Hazeltne's
Cure, Fig Laxative Syrup or California Fig
Shoes, Motifs Powder, etc, Which are lust
as good and cost less, and the customer,
while he wanted Hoods, Cartcr's, Scots
and Others mentioned, is in manner over
persuaded against first intentions, to take
a good-ior-nothings substitute that has no
merit, and costs little or nothing to make,
that he never thought ot-never saw adver-
tised and which the dealers make profit
OF from 10 to 100 per. cent. more than he
would on the scientific, meritorions
articles avertised in yourpapers. applause
Is not this substitute scheme robbery
OF fthe publisher, an insult to the unwary
buyer, as we'll as tremendous injury to
the advertiser who is paying you perhaps
hundreds of dollars to Introduce his goods
in your locality; and are you not in duty
boGnd to use your utmost endeavors to
prevent such petty swindling (Applnuse)
You should, in my opinion, whenever
you find dealer rcsorting to this suDsr1-
rUrE fraud, expose and denounce him
through your editorial columns, thereby
protecting your own interest and that of
your subscribers and readers. (Applause)
In my opinion, it is time that the pub
fishers took hold of this matter in earnest
DEAD EARNEsr-and would respectfully
suggest that before this association adjourns
some action be taken looking to this result.
Tremendous Applause
