Fraudulent Substitution.

A GENEKAL WABNING. THE UNSUSPECTING VICTIMISED. A CASE OF LIFE AND DEATH. Developments in the scientific and manufacturing world during recent years stamp the period as one of discovery and invention, and provided progress in this direction remains unchecked we may reasonably anticipate that the time is not far distant when manual labor will be minimised to such an extent as to afford profitable occupation to a limited few only outside the light-fingered fraternity. But this is looking too far ahead. We have now to deal with the present, and wish to forewarn the public generally that nothing short of unceasing vigilance on their part will render them proof against the operations of an undesirable section of the community, who turn what inventive powers they possess in the direction of trading upon the good name and established reputation of houses well and favorably known to the publio. To offer for sale a fraudulent imitation and represent it to be the genuine article is an imposition of the vilest nature, and one and all will do well to keep in mind this warning note. One who will stoop to defraud another will have little care

for the consequences of his victim, and his substitutions are in all cases worthless or harmful, and in any oase cannot do duty for the original. If a food or medioine is the medium employed, tho chances are that he will, from sheer lack of knowledge on the one hand or utter disregard on the other, bring about results of a most serious nature. Under these circumstances it is not taking too grave a view of the case if we advance the belief that the spurious article offered by him may contain a poisonous ingredient or prove a collection of ingredients producing a poisonous combination, and so operate less in favor of life than death.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, whioh are so highly esteemed by all who have tried them, like all medioines of raal worth, hava not passed unnoticsd by the counterfeiter, as will b.i seen from the following, which appeared in a recent issue of the " Daily Telegraph " : —

" In the Equity Court yesterday, before Mr Justioe A. H. Simpson, Mr Scarvel (instructed by Messrs. Johnson, Minter, Simpson & Co,) 1 appeared for George Taylor Fulford, of New York, proprietor of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and applied for an injunction restraining L. B, Davis, P. Davis, end G. 14. Oarey, of Glen Innes, from selling any imitations of the genuine Dr. Williams''PiDk Pills. The defendants were not represented. It was stated that the defendants had been served with a statement of olaim, and affidavits were put in setting out that the defendants were said to have sold Pink Fills at Olen Innes and elsewhere. His Honor madibthe order granting the lDjaactiort'pnnclfag the hearing ot a suit which had been instituted to restrain the defendants felling the pills referred to."

Of the dangers consequent upon the use of spurious substitutions and the prompt measures adopted for the suppression of such despicable traflic enough has been Baid, but the experience of a famous general in the severest battle of his life, the successful issue of which was due to his faithful ally, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, goes to show that very different results follow the employment of the true article. The General's case was a serious one indeed; typhoid fever brought him low. Those who have survived this fell disease, which more often than otherwise proves fatal, have every redson to regard their recovery as miraculous. What tortures they endured with maddening headaches, loss of strength and intense pain of body and limb; unconsciousness followed as a natural result, and the fever accompanied by delirium occasioned .their friends and relatives gravost fears for their safety. Bat General G. I' 1 . Wiles had yet more to face, for no sooner had the typhoid slackened its grasp than inflammatory rheumatism set in. It has been the fate of many to be attacked by rheumatism in one or another of its forms, but few would be alive to tell the tale if first assaulted, as in the case of the General, by typhoid fever. They would'in all probability have found rest for their aohing and swollen limbs in the grave, However, Dr Williams' Pink Pills enabled the great Boldier to vanquish these enemies of life, and more, too, for yet another lay in ambush and received a similar fate. A paralytic stroke followed ; arms and legs refused their functions, and to use his own words, " his kidneys gave out." Suoh an accomplishment would have sufficed to make a reputation of which any physician might be justly proud, but it ! belongs to Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, a remedy to which thousands owe their lives. Towards the oloße of his conversation with a newspaper reporter, the General said: —" My friends all thought I would never recover, and it was easy to see the doctors prescribed for me only to ease my path to the grave, but without the remotest 1 hope of recovery. After continuous urging I consented to? being moved to another city, where I was treated, but without effect, by the ablest physicians there. I began to view death with a good deal of oomfort. I had lost faith in physicians and medicines, but owing to the strong recommendations of a persistent friend I began to take Dr Williams' Pink Pills. One after each meal was my doso for the first week, and I fanoied I perceived an improvement in my condition. I then increasod the dose to two after each meal, and at tho end of the second week thero was no doubt but that Dr Williams' Pink Pills were making me better, so I kept on using them according to directions, and in three months was a well man."
