THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , 19 , 18 9.---TvV UNTY-FOUR PAGES. 19 THE NATIONAL REMEDY COMPANY TESTIMONIALS , Wo publish nothing in the wny of tostimoninlB. To tbo intelligent reader they nro useless. Syphilis is n disease Unit natimilly begets secrecy in those who are unfortunate enough to contract it. and seldom , if over , coulci testimony of respon sible patients ho obtained for publication. Public testimonials are usually branded as fictitious , and Uiis IB as a rule a cor- rcct term for them. In August , 1888 , Prof. Goss says in tbo St. Louis Medical Jirief that "Mercury or J'otusk never cured Syphilis" ; still tbo orthodox physician continues tholr 'use. Mercury and Potash only dry up and imprison the disease for a. short time , sub sequently the uulToror breaks out in the most violent and malignant syphilitic ulcers. There is not a case on record where syphilis has been cured by this method of treatment. * Thousands of sulTorcrs annually visit the many watering resorts and sanita riums for tbo cure of syphilis. Why ? because the Physician , having exhausted nil his skill in trying to effect a cure , and drained the purse of the patient to the best of Ins ability , takes this method of getting rid of the charge llmt ho has taken for purely mercenary motives. The patient usually takes the advice of iiis Physician and repairs to tbo Uot Springs , only to receive mercurial treat ment in much stronger doses. This for a time again smothers tbo dibcubo and Iho invigorating baths to bo had at those places seemingly puts the dread disease to death. What deception 1 You that , have tested it , can testify. Yet there are many who repeat tbo treatment , hoping against hope , that a cure can be olTooted , ana finally they- must come to the realisation that they have bpcnt their money nnd time in vain. Facts need no protection , jealousy and'falsehoods defeat themselves. The production of Syphilitic is the result of investigation and sciontili'c re search , and is the only true specific known. Wo are prepared to demonstrate this to the .satisfaction of the grcate&t skeptic. Wo liuvo the credit of hundreds of coses of absolute euro , and we dy'y the world to produce a case tec cannot cure. Correspondents will please boar in mind that wo are in daily receipt of hun- flredB of letters that require answers , and wo would respectfully ask that all who desire information , write us plainly about their case , without any concealment whatever. This will enable us to give you more satisfactory advice as to the course best lor you to pursue , as well as the cobt of treatment. If I/OH / , dear reader , arc a sufferer fiom any private disease , consult with us and we will convince you that you canjlnd the boon you have lecu fearcliiny for. A. Science. Which Cannot bo Learned Very Quickly. LONG TRAINING IS NEEDED. To tills MiiBt ho Added n Natural Apt itude for the Business Some Useful Hints From n IJimkor. Aliotu Counterfeit * . "Every one in this world has certain capacities , and bo will excel who puts them to use. .Therefore , not every person in the handling son can become nn export dling of money , though bo try over so hard , says n wrj or in the Bankers' Monthly. There are many who never attain any grout efficiency in the detec tion of spurious money , and again there nro others with whom it is a natural " l't , almost scjcond nature. There are people who can perceive objects per fectly and clearly , but there is no in stantaneous impression and their thoughts centralize slowly. Such people ple cannot make proliciont tollers. They may Ifcop this knowledge hidden to themselves , if not surrounded by keen eyes , but with all that , I honestly ad vise them to transfer their labors to some other department for which they are bolter fitted. Again , there are many men who re main forever timid in the cnro and han dling of money ; who will look at u hun dred dollar bill or a five hundred dollar lar bill with different eyes than upon lessor denominations , and who got slower in tholr work the more figures or sums awe them. For those men a toller's place is an uncongenial task. Of course , much improvement can bo derived from practice and patience , but without talent it remains at the best up-hill work. I venture to glvo you a little advice in this regard. Loam to look upon money as if upon mere figures ; instead of thinking of its value ( } . e. , purchas ing power ) , think only upon.nrithmeti- cal amounts. This will assist you in overcoming any timidity you may Imvo , and at the sumo time make your work quicker and safer. Shrewd bank malingers will do well to weigh the capabilities of men care fully , before appointing them to the re ceiving toller's positioir.it IH ono which , moro than any ether in the bank , needs qualifications and aduDtnbilitics of a certain kind , which must bo inherent , because otherwise they can never bo acquired to perfection. The expertness of some city tolloro in the detection of counterfeits is truly wonderful. It can only bo explained by natural uptiUido , long practice , and the Eharponing of tbo intellect in ono cer tain olmnnol , brought about by being constantly confronted by fraudulent is- eues , and all sorts of ways and moans used to pass the etult on them. To an outsider it would almost seem as 11 thcso men could dutuct bad money in- etinotlvoly. Away from tbo bustle of largo money- routers counterfeits are comparatively ecarco. A much binallor circulation o money , thinner population , the absence of the rush of business make the suc cessful passage of counterfeits rather risky , tho'tgh the country may upon first thought poem to bo an inviting Hold for treroon" goods , owing to the inexperience of the people. No bunk should bo without n btaudard publication on counterfeits. Wo have overal in the United States that are tp to the mark , and quick in sounding ho alarm whenever now specimens ap pear in the market. But it will not do 0 lay these publications away on a shelf , as they muko their regular ap- > oaranco , and lot them got moldy in dust and oblivion. May I ask you if you over look into it unless confronted vith a counterfeit ? The truth is , that inless you make thcso publications somewhat of n study , it will not help , -ou in keeping counterfoils out of your drawer , though it will teach you the truth , after they are thrown back upon you. Most tellers mindI do not speak of city experts , but of the lessor lights have an idea that they "know all ibout it ; " can tell a bad' bill twenty 'cot off ; know as much as the pub- ishers and don t need to bo posted. What nonsense ! Show mo the man too old to learn ! If you want to become 1 first rate lollor , lake your countor- [ oit detector and study page by page , by comparison wilh the conuino issues on hand. Take a strong magnifying glass , examine the good bills , and locate the spots where the defects come in on Iho counterfeits. Go from ono denomina tion to another , from silver to gold , until the looks of the genuine bills and the weak spots in the counterfoils are engraved on your memory. Then you know where lo look for Iho vulner able spots , whenever you handle money , and will have no need to scrutinize the bill us a whole. Besides , such investigations will teach you Iho currency and coin of your coun try. "Ah ! " you will say , "what nn ideal Iltxvo handled it for years and years ; know it like n book ! ' , This is mere vanity ! Try it once ! There are but very low tellers who can correctly describe oven those denominations most in circulation. Ask them for n suncrliciul description only , and you will find that they got portraits , vign- olles , ole , , all mixed up. I think a man whoso business it is to handle money from the beginning of the year to its end , should endeavor lo post him self thoroughly , not only uuon fraudu lent issues , but also upon all the facts connected with American money ; how it looks , how it is coined and manufac tured ; which is necessary to thoroughly master the subject. There is nothing that will familiar ize you more with the United Slates currency than such search and investi gation as herein suggested. Another good plan is lo cul all news paper items or telegrams speaking of spurious money , and of the manner in which banks are dully duped -by "shavers of the queer. " Paste thorn in a convenient place and road them over occasionally , bo that your mind may bo alert on the subject , making it difficult to get oiibiiuretl. Now it is not to bo expected that every clerk in the bank will follow thesq precepts. My udvico is for tel lers and the cashiers of smaller institu tions who , owing to their positions , mubt , or rather , should , have a com plete knowledge ofovorything concern ing directly the handling of money. In order to become thoroughly acquainted with your calling , you must gather in formation from many quarters. I have amongst my bank library bovcral works written by prominent detectives , treat ing upon nothing but bank sobboriea , bank burglaries , the secret work of counterfeiters and associates , etc. , etc. Such works give ono an idea of what ono may expect in this line , and , there fore imibt constantly guard ugninbl. So fur those books have done mo no good , but ono of thobo days the * knowledge gained thereby may biive many thou- banns of dollars , I will give you a case in point of what use the study of your profession is in Known that win perma nently cure Syphilis REMEDY some cases. Several years ago two for gers did n largo Texas city and vic timized three bunks , all on the same street , to the tune of $700 to $800 apiece. It was done so cleverly that not the slightest blame could attach to the re spective cashiers. The owners of the banks considered tbo money lost for good , as the porpolcnlors had escaped into Mexico. Ono of the cashiers , however , worried about the matter and offered a reward. The follows wore caught in Mexico \vith about $1,000 on hand. Ho kept himself informed by wire of the movements of the captors and the captives , and as soon us they reached Texas , filed suit , gave bond , nnd watching for a sight of it , levied on the very money taken from the forgers , when they were still on the Irani , thus saving his loss in full. But for his alertness , the men might not have- been caught ; but for his knowledge of the law , tbo captured money would hnvo been divided amongst the three banks , after tedious wailing , if any were left aflor payingcosls. . ' 'The law always favors the diligent. " Therefore , do not ridicule abstract study : its returns may not bo apparent forthwith , out you are certain to profit pecuniarily by it sooner or later. Have you ever mot with any of the gentlemen styling themselves "travel ing counterfeit doteclors"who for $10 or $15 propose to teach you "all about it" in a quarter of an hour. If so , I can not , or rather need not give you any bint about them. But lest you have not allow mo to say that our currency would bo a sorry thing if ono could pain such knowledge in so short a time. It can not bo obtained except by patient research and long practice. Theoreti cal teachings are worth nothing in these cases. Stick lo tbo regular issues of counterfeit publications for informa tion. If you will scan their pages dili gently in the manner shown herein , they will loach you all that can possi bly bo taught you on the subject. Be ware at all times of teachers , who , un acquainted with your faculties , promise to teach you with lightning speed what it takes human brains years to fathom and retain. Should you have taken in n counterfeit , I trust you are honest enough not to pass it further. If you do , you are an abotlor of the counter feiters , and the loss is sure lo fall on some ono. The fact that it was passed on you is no extenuation. Should you find a counterfeit amongst the deposit of a customer , what is the right Ihing lo deV This is n ticklish question. No doubt the proper thing would bo to cancel it. 'Still , such a course , in a small place especially , is liable lo create animosity and ill feel ing. I , therefore , lean to the belief that your customer should bo Iho guardian of his own conscience , and favor giving them back to him , and suggesting his duty in the promises. But who can well examine a coin with out scratching or defacing it a little ? Therefore , I uon't find such coin passes freely around again. With paper coun terfeits it is different. I keep a little book in which to no to down and de scribe all such as como into my hands , together with name of person to whom I returned it , an'd ditto and other par ticulars of the transaction. This little scheme of mine has several times caused peculiar developments. It also becomes quite an interesting record in the course of years , teaching several things worth knowing , Couldn't See Her Demi Child , A heart-broken mother was not al lowed to see the face of her dead child in Kaston lust week because she had been separated from her husband.

A story is told of-Edwin Booth's ex perience that is good enough to be true , says the Baltimore American. Booth was "barn-storming" down in Virginia , called Leo's Lauding.

Years ago Mrs. Lamb brought out n novel ontillcd "Spicy , " but she soon turned her attention to writing amore moro serious character , and her "His tory of th.o City of Now York" is a mon u- mont to her talent , research and inde fatigable industry. She is petite , quiet , gentle-voiced , with a kindly and sym pathetic face. Mrs. Lamb lives at the old-fashioned Colt-man house , whore , on an upper floor , she has the coziest eyrie under the sun. She frequents sociely lo a certain extent , and is u familiar figure during the season in Washing ton. In the society of London Mr. Bright was a unique figure , says n London letter - tor from George Smulley to the Now York Tribune. Needless to say. ho never was a man of fashion. There was a long period during which the world of fashion hold aloof from him. It ended before ho became a cabinet minister and privy councillor. The tribune of tbo people , as some of his friends used to cull him , had ceased to bo thought dangerous by the cla&ses. lie was asked often to all sorts of houses and to all sorts of entertainments. While break fasts were Ibo fashion he went to break fasts. Ithiulc your friendJoseph Choato , of Now York , will remember meeting him at breakfast and walking homo with him across Ilydo Park. Mr. Bright , I know , remembered Mr. Cboatc nnd asked about him more than once afterward , llo was charmed with the American's manner and lalk , unu quilo forgave him for being a great lawyer. Lawyers , great or little , were not , as a rule , favorites with him. Ho was not ofton. I think , to bo seen at parties , but dined out rather frequently. His curiosity about tlio great world came lalo in lifo , but it came. Ho had a cu rious exactilude , and when ho was asked to dinner as years ago was the custom foi 7:15 : , used to arrive at 7:45 : , while bis hostess was pulling Iho Insl touches lo her toilet. His habit hud this advantage , tlmt he could hear the names of the guests as they were an nounced al Iho door of Iho drawing- room. If ho did not hoar , or if anyone came in whom he did not know , ho used to interrogate the friend nearest him , eagerly : "Who is thntV" And if be tailed lo recognize Iho name , "Who is she ? Toll mo something about her. " To moro conventionalities ho paid but scant respect. It was his habit to wear a black velvet waistcoat longaitcr oilier people had ceased lo wear them. I can not-rcmbor over to have soon ono in London except his. It did not mailer what ho wore. There was no truer gon- lloman in the company u phrase which is detestable , but bus a moaning not easy to express briefly otherwise. There was no courtlier personage than this Quaker , none whoso manners were moro perfect. lie preserved his seriousness of thought in the most frivolous society. Nobody hud moro humor or lightness in bund , but if the subject was serious or interested him deeply ho said his say seriously , or , as in the slory I am going lo loll you , bore his testimony unllinch- ingly.

" George Bancroft is very particular to remove his glove before shaking hands , whether at a simple "call" or a chance meeting on the street. Victor Hugo would never kiss a lady's gloved hand , and If ( ho hand were offered the aged poet very coolly unfastened the glove nnd found the desired place.

In fact , lie never wore one at Indianapolis , and his friends oxpectcd lo see him follow the example of Mr. Garland and refuse to perform the social duties of hisoffice. . When the partner of General Harrison in the law business arrived in Wash- inglon he looked like a plain country lawyer on an ouling ; his suit a rusty black had an old-fashioned cut and sot ; he wore a turn-down collar with a shoestring string necktie , nnd the kind of high-top boots which allow the trousers to find refuge when the snow } o deep.

Lfo wore ui elegant full dress suit of fine material , fashionably cut and a perfect fit , and ho looked per fectly at home in it. A snowy bosom was decked out with a sot of quiet studs and the glossy piccadilly collar was hedged around with a lawn tie of the regulation ordor. Patent leather shoes encased his fuel. But at the other end the most marked change had taken place. Those whiskers hud been taken in hand by a professional whisker trim- mcr and reduced lo a cut so neat and becoming that it changed the appear ance of his face to u marked degree.

If there is ono man in Now York who looks unlike a great financier , Mr. Sago is he. I have Sfcfin it hundred men booing potatoes on the back-lying farms bearing exact resemblance to Mr. Sage. lie has their ungainly figure , tholr rustic sim plicity of visage , and grows his beard in their severely unorniiinontal fitylo. This board is always in nt-tatoof partial blackness from dvo , the roots- showing tbo dusty whiteness , whiuh is the na tural color. His long upper lip is shaven , and his gray hair is brushed forward in smooth strips above the cars. cars.Mr. . Sage has the reputation of being exceptionally close in money mntlerp. The fant is ho is apt to bo extravagant in largo dealings , but in the smaller ex penses of ovory-day lifo ho is indeed surprisingly moan. Ho saves a cent with Iho thoughtful care of a vary poor man. A story was printed in a newspaper tint long ago which wa = intended lo ridicule this trait of Mr. Sago's character. It was told that in buying some readymade - made clothes for himself at a well- known clothier's ho dropped his pocketbook - book , containing a large amount of money , an the floor , and did notdis- cover'his loss until ho bad got back to his olllco. Ho returned Immediately to the clothing establishment and Dialed his loss nt the desk. Ho was assured Dial one of the boys on the Moor had found the pockclbook. The boy was called up and introduced to Mr. Sage. The millionaire took hack the pocketbook - book , palled the boy on the head and said : "You are an honest lad , nndyou will got your reward in heaven. " Tina story was printed as substunliu- led by the proprietors of the clothing house. But the facts of the cusu wore that Mr. Siijji know perfectly well that , in trying on coats in the place , he had followed out his regular custom of trans ! forring bis pocket book from ono coat to another , and that ho neglected to do this when ho put un bis old coat to go out. Ho was positive the clerk who waited on him found the pocketbook and look il to the desk. A scheme to got a reward from the millionaire was arranged by accrediting the discovery to a poor cash boy. Mr. Sago saw through the job instantly and his re mark lo Ibo boy about getting his reward ward in heaven was a very sarcastic and deserved thrust at the management of the clothing house. Since then ho has never bought his clolhos at this place , but ho slill gets thorn ready made and is doubtless to-day the worst droned man of wealth in Now York. HELPING TO HANG HIMSELF. Unparalleled CoolucsH of an Innocent Blim on the UullotVH. In a handsome mansion situated in n lonely part of Knglaud there resided , a few years ago , a maiden lady of con siderable wealth , says a writer in the Philadelphia Press. One morning she was discovered foully murdered. Her man servant , named Leowas suspected , arrested and convicted on circumstan tial ( widonco , and sentenced to bo hanged. So conclusive scorned the evidence against the prisoner that no attempt whatever was made on Iho part of Iho public to induce the homo secre tary to exorcise executive clemency. The day of the execution having a'r- rivcdlho prisoner was led forth tOHUllor the extreme penalty. The rope to bo used , the texture o/ / which was silk and hemp , had beenas is customary in such cases , tested with the aid of sand-bags , and was not found wanting. The bolt was drawn and Iho prisoner was given a drop of eight foot. The rope broke. The prisoner walked , unaided , up the steps leading to the scaffold , and after the rope had been fixed again and Iho noose ivdjuslcd the bolt was drawn for Iho iccond limu. The rope broke again. Luc was by Ibis lime considerably Stunned. However , after the lapse of u few munieiit1 ho again ascended , un aided , the slops , and after doing all in his pov/or to allay the nervousness of the hangmanassisted the hitler in once moro fixing Ibe rope. The prisoner placed himself on the trap-doortho boll was pulled and the condemned man dropped once moro out of view. The rope parlod for Iho third time. After considomblo delay Lee once moro placed himself in the executioner's hands , but thai personage nnd the ether officials , horrified at what seemed a di vine iiitoriUHltion , refused to proceed further with Iho business. The fuels wore reported to ihe borne secrolary , who at orico icspitcd the prisoner , con demning him to imprisonment for life. Three years later a woman who waa Leu's lelfow-sorvanl , confessed on her dying bed that it wassliu who killed her mistress. Uho declared that Leu hud no connection whatever with the affair , and stated fuels strongly confirmatory of her confession. Instances may possibly hare occurred in which un equal amount of physical courage has been displayed , but outside of Iho pale of fiction there cannot bo cilyd u single case in which bravery ever played a more conspicuous part than in Iho incident above detailed.
