Warner’s Safe Blog References

The ability to write and edit a blog on Warner’s Safe Cures and H. H. Warner requires that I draw upon the work of many other collectors and scholars. Because the blog format does not permit footnoting as one might do in a reseach paper, I will attempt to list below the references I have drawn upon. Also, special thanks to Jack Stecher,  Dave Kyle and Ed Ojea whose Warner’s expertise is well-known among collectors.
