BEWARE OF FRAUDS.


Untrustworthy newspapers that
insert any and all advertising paid
for at regular rates T giving much
publicity to a 1ot-of quacks and
frauds that pretend to teach hypno-
tism, mesmerism, Christian science,
mental healing, magnetic healing,
etc., ETC., or to cure diseases by some
of these methods. Uncle Sam has
taken charge of a number of these
humbugs for using the mails for
fraudulent purposes.
We advise Progressive Farmer
readers to steer clear of these frauds
and of the newspapers that insert
their ads. TIT a pretty safe rule,
anyway to answer no ads. in a paper
of whose reliability you have no evil
dence. The Progressive Farmer
never accepts an ad. until convinced
of the advertise r'shonesty and ability
to fulfill his promises. We can re-
commend every advertiser who
solicits patronage through u col
umnS.
