A PERSONAL CARD.
A Matter In Which the Public Should
Have a Deal of Interest.
Why does the government spend so
much money and risk so many lives in
trying to'cature the counterfeiter?
"Suppose he does counterfeit gov
ernment bonds and notes, surely the
government is rich enough to stand
any loss his act may confer 1"
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
counterfeited ; 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 commit fraud always do
it by simulating 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,-a-New York
state gentleman was pronounced, as
many millions have been pronounced
before, incurably sick of an extreme
disorder. By suggestions which he
believed were providential, he was led
to the use of a preparation which had
been for several years employed by a
select few physicians in New York city
and one or two other prominent places.
The result was that he was cured, he
whom doctors without number and of
conceded ability said was incurable.
Having secured possession of the
formula, absolutely and irrevocably, he
determined to devote a portion of his
accumulated wealth to the manufac
ture anil 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 he
was obliged for his purposes to erect a
laboratory and warehouse containing
four and a quarter acres of flooring
and filled with the most approved chem
ical and manufacturing devices. Prob
ably there never was a remedy that
has won such a meritorious name,
such extraordinary,8ales and has ac
complished so much good for the race.
Unprincipled parties who flouruh
only upon the ruins of others, saw in this
reputation and sal an opportunity to
reap a golden harvest, (not legitimate
ly, not honorably) for which purpose
they hav made imitations and substi
tutions of it in every section of the
country, and many druggists, who can
make a larger profit on these imitation
good, often compromise their honor
by forcing a sale upon the unposted
.. customer.
Yes, undoubtedly- the manufacturers
could well afford to ignore such in
stances of fraud so far as the effect
upon themselves is concerned, for their
remedies hare a constant and unre
mitting sale, out they feel it to be their
duty to warn the public against such
imitations and substitutions.non-secret
buys them and the public who coun
tenances their sale alone suffer in
mind, body and estate therefor.
The authors of some of these fraud
ulent practices have been prosecuted
r and " sent te 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 a transcript of the
ATr t 1.. ! rri. : , t ..1 - u
the way, must be a wonderful kaleido
scopic affair, for there is hardly, a
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 Warner's safe cure is, (none
that have been published 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 C's they could not compound
the remedy. The method of manufac
ture is a secret. It is impossible to
obtain the results that are wrought by
this remedy if one does not have vhe
perfect skill acquired only by years of
practice for compounding and assimi
lating the simple elements which enter
into its composition.
The learned Dr. Foster, the honored
head of Clifton Springs sanitarium,
once said that having roughly ana-
lyzed 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 com
pounding, and this method no one
knows except the manufacturers and
no one can acquire it.
Our advice to our readers, therefore,
cannot 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 finan
cially to those who seek to get, by
trading upon another's reputation and
honesty, a sale for wares and goods
which on their merits are fit only to
be rejected &b the veriest refuse. You
can neither afford to patronize such
a
people nor can you afford to take their
injurious compounds into your- sys
tem. When you call for Warner's Safe
Cure see that the wrapper is black tvith
white letters and that the wrapper and
label bear an imprint of an iron safe,
fradft mark, and that a. safe is
blown in the back of the bottle and that a
perfect lc 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
remedy wa have mentioned and the
highest regard for the manufacturers,
and we cannot too highly commend
their dignified and considerate tone in
relation to those who would traduce
their fair name and ruin the best in
terest of the public in such matters.

SAFE HIDING.
n jtt Florid Matron Kept Her Frail
From Spoiling-.
Mrs. L. is a thrifty housekeeper. As
her family is a large one. her preserv
ing kettle is one of immense propor
tions, and as the fruit seasons came
around, first strawberries and then
blackberries, her preparation? began
to assume the r usual majestic propor
t:ons. New to the place, she did not
depend upoa her own judgment, but
onferre.1 w.th some of the older resi
dents, who assured her that they had
found only one practicable way of
keep ng blackberries, and that was to
bury them in the ground. So, after the
jars were all prepared, Mrs. L. hired
an old darkv to dig in a cjrtain spot,
where he diligently went to wo : k. Per
haps a quarter of an hour had passe 1.
when the old black man appeared
holding up a junk bottle. "Tears ii
de vcrth was full b dese yer." lie sa d
'l got'S to one place an' I digs an' up
po;-s a bottle, and den I goes to anod m
spot an' di;s an' up pops anoder bit

were heavy. For a moment visions o

Were they filled up w th jewels with

sealed.
Try again." she said, cheerfully.
"When my husband comes in I will
have them opened."
"Yes. miss s," he said, and turned
reluctantly to tha takr. ILilf an hour
elapsed. Mrs. L. went out to look, and
lo! before her bewJdred sight there
was an mmense array of bottles bot
tles black as old Tony; 1 ottles stand
ing, lying down, bottle everywhere.
"Ise got out a heap." said Tony, look
ing up, awe-struck, "an' dey isn't done
coming jit. I 'spect Satan idoae struck
up a whisky field har. I clar to good
ness Ps just a little skeared," and the
old man looked over his shouMer.
Just then the man of the house came,
and he was more startled than his
wife.
"It might be nitro-glycerine. you
know."
"Good heavens! and if h3 broke
one with his spado we should all gj to
glory," supplemented the hu band.
Presently a little odd figure was es
pied convng along the sandy roaJ. It
was the gossip and news-monger of
the settlement, and she was com'ng
directly to the L. mansion. She and
Tony made their appearance together,
the latter with despair wriltca on his
eyeballs.
"Pse done digging," sa:d the old
man, shakng his head mournfu1ly;
"Pse heerd o bottles buried up an' be
witched, with souls on der ihsi le. I
don't like no such work, an' I'll tank
ye for de pay so fur."
Goodnes3 preserve us! you've found
those bottle!" cried ths new-comer, her
br ght little eyes snapping. "Well,
you are lucky! There's enough for a
regiment, already."
"Enough of what? What is it?"
asked Mr3. L.
"Why, p'ckle?, tomatoes ketchup
lots o' things! Them Thomas people
that lived here put 'em up. I remem
ber Miss Thomas stand.n' jest there
where you're a standin' now. and laugh
ing at the long rows o' bottle. You
see, if she'd a come back, they'd
a kept boarders, and she put up enough
to last for a year. But she went for a
vacation, and took sick and died in her
old house on East; and 1 d d p'ty her

Don't need to put up a p:ckle not

The old darky "wa? soon appeased
and et to work again. I th'nk he ex
tracted s'xty or seventy, and then
went to vork at the blackberries. I
suppose that mustbj a good way to
preserve them, for Mrs. L. says the
catchup is delicious. So you see things

SHY OF POISON.
How People Instinctively Shrink from Drug
Containing Morphia and Opium -A
Reporter's Researches.
From the Washington Daily Post.
For many years physicians have
been much exercised over the use of
drugs and medicines containing opi
ates or poisons. Opium smoking by
the Chinese and the introduction of
the habit into America is an evil which
has been sought to be remedied, and
the police of Philadelphia have recent
ly made successful raids on opium
"joints" and arrested the proprietors.
A more insidious form of poison than
this, however, and one which largely
efl'ects not only the health but the lives
of children, is that which comes in the
form of popular medicines. Nine out
of ten of these, it is known, contain
narcotics or deadly metallic oxides.
The difficulty, however, has been to
find a substitute for such things which
would bo purely vegetable, and at the
same time effect a prompt cure. That
such a discovery had been made was
announced recently, and Dr. O. Grothe,
chemist to the Brooklyn Board of
Health, and a graduate of the Univer
sity of Kiel, Germany, publicly certi
fied that he had analyzed the remedy
and found it free from narcotics, opi
ates or injurious metallic oxides, and a
harmless happy combination, which
will prove highly effective. Hearing
that Dr. Samuel K. Cox, a graduate of
Yale, and expert analytical chemist of
this city, had also analyzed the rem
edy in question and given public tes
timony as to its purity and efficacy, a
reporter of The PosTwas told by him
that he had given such a certificate,
and that he believed the remedy
marked a new stage in the treatment
of throat and lung diseases. He knew
also that many public men in Wash
ington had given the remedy
a trial, and felt confident if they were
called upon that they would cheer
fully iniorse it. One of them was
Hon. J. C. S. Blackburn, Senator-elect
from Kentucky. Mr. Blackburn, on
being approached, said he had used
the remedy with marked effect and
found great benefit, especially during
his occupancy of the Speaker's chair.
It had removed all irritation from his
throat and relieved a cough which had
troubled him much.
Senator Gorman, of Maryland, said
that he firmly believed in the remedy,
which he had personally tested. Con
gressman J. II. Bagley, Jr., of New
York; Wm. Mutchler, of Pennsylva
nia; J. H. Brewer, of New Jersey' ;
Hart B. Ilolton, of Maryland, and J.
I. Leedom, Esq., of Ohio, Sergeant-at-Arms
of the House of Representatives,
were emphatic in their endorsement of
the remedy. Messrs. Ed. A. Clark,
Architect of Public Buildings ; E. A.
Carman, Acting Commissioner of the
Agricultural Department; Thomas S.
Miller, chief clerk in the Surgeon
General's Department ; II. E. Weaver,
ex-Congressman from Mississippi, and
now chief of the collecting division in
the General Postoffice ; J. II- Gravcn
stine, head of the labor division in the
same department, and F. B. Conger,
City Postmaster, and son of Senator
Conger of Michigan, all pronounced it
a valuable discovery, and had found
its effects not only soothing, but last
ing. The remedy in question is Bed
Star Cough Cure. It is free from opi
ates or poisons and is purely vegetable.
A,, physician who stands in close
relation to the Board of Health of the
District of Columbia said that there
are two things which seriously affect
the health of the peojde. impure
water and impure drugs, and there
fore the benefits of a discovery like
Red Star Cough Cure cannot be over
estimated. Thousands of children die
annually from the use of cough and
soothing syrups containing opiates or
poisons, and even adults are exposed
to the danger ol blood-poisoaing from
such a cause. Ia view of these facts
members of Boards of Health in vari
ous cities ; public men of Maryland,
from the Governor down, and leading
practicing physicians throughout that
State have over their own signatures
testified that Red Star Cough Cure,
which by th way costs but twenty
five cents a bottle, cannot fail to be a
boon to the suffering and afflicted.
The reporter's investigations were
thorough ana unprejudiced, and the
testimony, obtained, judging from its
character, cannot be gainsayed.

FAST TROTTERS.
A Luxury Wlilch Every Well-to-Do
Farmer -litnll E ijoy.
It is a remarkable fact that while
farmers are encouraged in all sorts of
extravagances by agricultural journals
and societies in stocking their farms
with thoroughbred cattle, sheep, swine
and poultry. th?y are warned aga nst
thoroughbred horses, notably fast trot
ters, with the same earnestness as
against any moral pest lence. A horse
that cm trot a mile under a 2:40 gait is
considered the rightful property oti pro
fessional gamblers and an adjunct to
all sorts of wickedness.
Ihe arguments against fast trotters
are many, but the one most often urged
is to the efiect that a fast horse makes
a fast man -n the co rupt sense of the
term 4-fast." In a word, the op'nim
prevails that the farmer and h's sons,
so soon as th y posses i a hore of
proud ped gree, w th promise ot great
speed, are imuied ately transferred
from upright honest t Hers of the sod
to jockeys and gamblers, with no inter
est outside of the turf. Ano: her plea
aga nst liuo roa.lsters on the farm is
that there s mure risk and less money
to the tarmer in the rearing and train
ing of trotters than n the production
of general purpose and draft horses re
markable for size and' strength.
That there is a demand, at remuner
ative prices, for heavy . horses, no one
disputes nor. is it doubted that horses
of rercheronvor Clydesda'e origin are
valuable animals on any farm, but just
why the e facts sho dd debar line road
sters a place alung wit other improve
ments in these progressive t'nie doe
not seem qui o clear. From an eco
nomical standptri it. alo le well-bred
trotters are ent tied lo a place oti an.
progressive man's farm if onlv for
breeding purpose , ina much as fine

read- sale. A hor-.o to possess beauty,
style, speed aud endurance must ire
well-bred, hence the necessity of wcll
brcl sires and mares, to get and to bear
the colt for roadsters. And then, while
many people do not appear to know
it, farmers are entitled to just a many
luxuries as are mm in o hei' walks of
life, when they can aflord to pay for
the same. In a word, if a well-to-do
farmer or Irs softs appreeia e a' d take
pleasure in fine roadster, there is no
law against the'r having one. Indeed,
there is a striking incongruity in the
fact of a man's investing thousands of
dollars in cattle and sheep, with peli
grees recorded in herd -books, and
driving I ehind a rawboned horse taken
from the plow or truck-wagon wh'ch.

There appears no reason why, with
other luxuries farmers should not

or their famil es within that c rede

chances are ten to one that the in
troduction of improved horseflesh on

WHY DOES THE BOY WHISTLE?
A Q ii ent Ion Worth Tiionghtful and Careful-
Ctigilrtt ion.
This problem becomes cne of practi
cal iutercst .at once, when we remem
ber that if we can but find the cause of
an evil we can generally find a cure for
it. It is cerla nly worth t! oughtful
consideration.
If the above quest'on was propound
ed lo a person who had never heard a
bov whistle, if we can imagine such a
being, he would douLt'es answer that
boys whistle Lecause they love mus e
just as birds sing. Such an idea, of
cour. e, ni.-ver occurs to any one who
has ever heard a boy whist'e. A philoso
pher would be more apt to think that
the boy whistles because he dislikes
mu-iic; that he has an innate antipathy
to all harmonioui sounds, such as it is
well known some other animals have,
and that instead of merely trying to es
cape, like them, from the hated sounds,
he delights in oflcring a continual and
public insult to harmony and all its
lovers. This theory is also sustained
by his well-known admiration and
friendship for organ-grinde s and cor
net i 'layers. But on more carefid con
sidernt:on it is evid nt that this idea is
too al..struse for the mini of the boy,
and he certainly n-ver rets long enough
from the whistling to think of so much.
It has been suggested that perhaps he
whistles because he thinks it is a manly
vice, some:h'ng like smoking an.l
drinking, only che'apc r. But the fact
is, men seldom whistle, except in mod
eration, and the boy is so much farther
than the man in th's repect that it is
as absurd to suppose that the younger
imitate th elder as it would be to as
sert that Irving Hall copies is political
methods from Tammanv.
The plausible theory is that Hie boy
whistles to attract attent:on to him elf.
It is true that the boy 5s ordinarily anx
ious to bo prominent, whether for the
sake of a new im tation gold scarf-pin
or merely a cigarette, and we nvght
ro t ?at:sfied with t .is explanation if it
was only one boy that whistled, or even
a few boys, hut when all toys whistle,
their well-known shrill and def'ant
caricature of some popular tune bo
comes only a.-ignal of warning to drive
all within range from the vicin'ly.
The last and best suggestion is that
the boy whistles simply because he loves
noise. It is" undoubtedly a fact that the
loy is very fond of noise, and he w ill go
a long way to hear a brass band or even
a cabinet organ. But it is also evident
that noise is not his solj object in
whistling, for there are tco many olhn:
means of making even more noi e with
in his reach for which he does not care.
The kazoo is inexpensive and has great
possibjlit'es. Boues make a sharp and
disagreeable sound, and should be very
popular with him. A tin horn is simple
and has a very harsh and resonant tone.
And yet noue ot them has enjoyed any
permanent popularity with him. No,
there is something beside the love of
noise that impAs the boy to whistle.
Something which the loy does not
know himself. Something which wo
shall never find out. Something which
makes the frogs croak and the ass bray
and the flies buzz. Life,

A BANXEB AND HIS FBDEND3.
Alvarado Howard, Esq., is treasurer of the
savings bank of Stafford Springs, Conn. Like
many oiner oanK men ne naa Buttered from
overwork. There is a Bort of headache which
is peculiarly the lot of the bank man. closely
applying himself to business. With it comes a
weary and broken down sensation of inability
to rive full atten'ion to business. All this Mr
Howard suffered, with lack of appetite, loss of
flesh, and the other symptoms which with un
pleasant piamness ten tne story of dvspepsia.
"I was very low-spirited." said Mr. Howard
to one or our correspondents who visited him
at his cozy cottage at Stafford Springs. " My
wife was greatly concerned about me. I had
taken advice and medicine from the regular
jjiijBiuioiin, uui wiiu very lime advantage.
Some friends of my wife had taken Compound
Oxygen, and had sent her circulars and pam
phlets about it. She was much interested in
what she read or it, and said she thought this
was what 1 needed. While she was away
from home for two or three weeks I sent for a
'Treatment.' You may judge of the effect of
the Oxygen on me when I tell you that, al
though 1 had not told my wife I had got it, she
noticed from the character of the letters I
wrote her that I was in better spirits, and con
sequently in improved health."
!Had the Compound Oxygen then so soon
begun its good work on you i
"Yes; it did its work much more quickly
than I had any reason to expect. I was sur-
Frised. for although I anticipated good results,
had not supposed they would be felt so
quickly. Within a week I was so much better
thut I was going to put the Oxygen away and
take no more of it. But I concluded that it
would be better to keep on with it for a while.
I did f-o for few weeks and was so completely
restored to health that I had no further need
for any remedy. That was three years ago.
Since that I have never been without Com
pound Oxygen in the house, aud I do not intend
to be without it at any time."
"Then you have had to resort to it pretty
much all the time?"
"By no means ; only occasionally, when I
have had a cold or something of that kind.
But my wife has used it and derived great
benefit trom it. and so have the children.
"I believe my wife would have been dead hut
for Compound Oxygen. Her lungs troubled her.
The pain wus very severe, particularly in the
left lung. The syptoms were those of incipient
consumption. Both last winter and winter be
fore she took Compound Oxygen through
nearly all the cold weather and with the most
remarkable effect. It strengthened her, re
moved the lung-pain and generally and partic
ularly built up her health.
"As for the children : my boy is eight years
old. He has grown up quickly and is half a
head taller than most other boys of his age.
He has taken Compound Oxygen for colds and
as a tonic and strengthener. Nothing has ever
served hint better. We have the utmost confi
dence in it for him. Baby is six months old,
and has learned to inhale like a grown person.
She had a cold with catarrhal syptoms, and
was entirely relivved and cured with Com
pound Oxygen. I may add that I myself am
naturally disposed to catarrh. Since I have
used this Oxygen, which is now about three
years, the catarrhal troubles have not annoyed
me-
"Three or four weeks ago I was suddenly
taken down with quinsy. Compound Oxygen
had done to much for me in other respects that
I tried it for this. 1 took it pretty hot, putting
the tube well down my throat so as to reach
the sore and swollen parts. Almost at once it
brought down the swelling and took away the
pain. Do you wonder that I so thoroughly
believe in suc-n o remedy
"I think you said you had friends who had
used it, Mr.Howard ? Has their success wih it
been as great as yours f
" Yes ; so completely satisfactory that I
recommend it to every mend that I have.
"A lady who was with us. but who now
lives In Boston, was troubled with severe
colds. My wife urged her to use Compound
Oxygen. "It is all folly.' she replied. 'When
one of my hard colds takes hold of me, I must
let it run and take its course, nut tne oxygen
broke up in three days as severe a cold as she
had ever been taken with.
"My siHter who lives in Xew Haven, a mar
ried lady, some twenty-four years ugo strained
her voice and injured her lungs and throat, the
injury resulting in chronic bronchitis. For
about three years sue has used compound
Oxygen, which has kept her alive, for she was
very near dying. That she should be entirely
cured of such a deep-seated and protracted
malady would be too much to expect. But ihc
has been g eatly relieved and her life made
incomparably more comfortable than it other
wise could have been.
"A young lady, a friend of ours, living a few
miles out of town, has for a long time been
troubled with lung disease. The doctor said
her left lung was badly diseased, and it was
only a question of time when she must die.
Her digestive and other functions were much
deranged. Both she and her sister were preju
diced against the use of Compound Oxygen,
and the only way I could induce them to con
sent to the use ot it was to send for a Treat
ment' and acsurc them that if it did no good in
three or four weeks I would stand the expense
of it. A week after she began to use it she said
that she never had tried an thing which had
done her bo much good.
She has now improved wonderfully, though
of course not yet entirely cured, but oh, how
different from what she was 1
"Mr. M. O. Kinney, our Town Clerk of
Stafford, had two or three attacks of asthma.
The old-school physician, who had treated him.
pof counw condemned Compound Oxygen, and
said it was no better than so much warm
water. Mr. Kinney took the Oxygen, however,
and was greatly relieved."
" Well, Mr. Howard, you really seem to have
become a sort of an apostle of Compound
Oxygen to all your friends and neighbors. Is
it not so"
"Call it what you choose. I believe in this
thing w ith all my heart. Whatever it is made
of I don t pretend to know. I know onJy what
it has accomplished for me and my friends,
and therefore I freely advise those who are
sick to use it. And I have seen its benefit in
relieving those who were too far gone for en
tire recovery. It cannot be expected to work
miracles : but even to relieve those who must
die is a great achievement for it. Ib-re, for
instance, is the case of a young lady who was
taken with a severe throat ditUculty, which
settled on her lungs and ran into consumption.
I had some Compound Oxygen in the hotise
and I placed it at her disposal. This was too
late to save her, for she was by this time very
far gone. She lived for a few weeks, but dur
ing these weeks she experienced great relief.
The family wished that they had known of the
Compound Oxygen, and had used it, long
before.
"Another a gentleman and his wife who
are now in California. The lady had a cankered
sore tliroat and a bad cough. The doctors said
she was drifting into consumption. Her husb
and disliked to displease the medical man by
trying a remedy contrary to his adviee, but I
asked him which he would rather do, please
the doctor and bury his wife, or save his wife
and confound the doctor. He finally sent for a
Treatment.' His wife tried it end her sore
throat soon got w ell. She began to gain in her
general strength and health. They had made
their arrangements to go to California and
soon after went there. I have since heard
from them. The lady is now strong and
hearty, with her health entirely restored.
"A young lady who is a neighbor of ours was
for years in such a low state of health that she
could not half enjoy her life. She had been
under medical attei dance in a chronic-sort of a
way, which gave her little or no benefit. We
gave her circulars about tjompouna ui'gcn.
She received them courteously, but Baid she
was already under medical treatment and did
not want to make a change- One day she
came to our honse with such evidently im
proved health that we at once asked her what
she had been doing. 'Yon needn't Bay anything
about it.' said she, 'but I've been taking Com
pound Oxygen.' 1 could ten you a long story
about her improvement, but suffice it to say
that wo are all surprised to see how she has
gained. She had been able to take but little
exercise. If she was going a quarter of a mile
she would order the carriage. She now takes
exercise like other people, and although slender
and by no means robust in appearance, is in
the enjoyment of such gdod health that she 110
longer has occasion for the services of the
doctor." . , , , ,
Mr. Howard added that he could give in
stances of other friends for whom Compound
Oxygen had performed similar benefits. It
will be seen from the record of those he has
given that the benefits of Compound Oxygen
cover a very wide range of suffering, and are
applicable under the most diverse circum
stances. Whatever the difficulty nobody need
despair of finding relief by means orCom pound
Oxygen. To learn more about it send for the
pamphlet treatise on the subject which will
freely be mailed to all who address IJrs.
