 To Innocent and Unsuspecting Tourists: 



This is to caution you and , ut you on your guard against the News Dealer oa 

 this train. He is a bold, designing person, who has ^ purpose. All ' f the 

 oranges, and bananas, and vegetable ivory that he .ires i.own your neck is 

 for the purpose of getting your mind In shape, so perpetrate on you 



the crowning act. When he gets your system in a condition such as he desires, 

 he will offer you a book called . eck s Sunshine," and u w 'i be so powerless 

 to protect yourself that you will buy it. Then **our troubles will commence. 

 There is something about that boo 1 ! that v ill laim your attention and cause 

 you to laugh out in meeting. You ill strike s me g in it that will make 

 you forget what station you want get off and you are liable to be carried 

 beyond your destination, and have to walk back. The book is full of trichinae, 

 and people have read only to go home and send for a Doctor, after it was ever- 

 lastingly too late. The reading of the book seems to have a bad effect on everj 

 body. Fun is a good thing place, but where " causes broth T to rise up 



against brother, too much care cannot be exercised. I know of ont- young wo- 

 man who had always led a different life. She was an exemplary Christian, and 

 never missed a church sociable, r- a Sun- y school picnic. Her voice was 

 always heard in the choir and the sewing society. A man, littl- dreaming 



of the result, presented her with a copy of Peck's Sunshine." She read it, and 

 her whole being seemed to undergo a chs ge. In le ; than a month she was 

 married to the young man. I mention tuis as a terribk example. I am anxious 

 to get the book off the market, so 1 can writ another of a more pious nature 

 The sale of this book has been so lar e that I r much damage has been done, 

 and I ask that you beware of the designing young man who offers to sell you the 

 book, but if you insist on heaping coals of fire on u,y head, buy it, but be careful 

 and not sit in a draft of air when you read it. That was what gave Henry Ward 

 Beecher the hay fever. I am so anxious to stop the sale of the book that I will 

 give a chromo to all who do not buy it
