NEWSY -N0:E3 FROM NEARBY TOWNS rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCn.l Lima, O., ,Tau. 2. On February 21, 1882, the United States express offic in this city was robbed of a package of money contain ing 7,300. The money was sent here by the Treasurer of the Lake Erie and "Western Kailroad Company from Lafayette, Ind., and was directed to the paymaster of the company to be used in making the usual monthly payments to employes. At this time the United States office was located, together witli the Adams office, in the cor ner room of the old frame depot of the Pitts burg, Ft. "Wayne and Chicago Kailroad. George "W. Myers was at the time joint agent and James H. Coons was night agent. The money arrived here at 10 o'clock at night and "was receipted for by Coons. About $1,000 of the money was in "coin; the rest in currency. The coin was in a sack and was placed on top of the safe. After receiving the money and placing it in the oflice.Ifitrht Agent Coons went out to receive his run from the train on the Ft. Wayne Kailroad. When he returned lie found the door of the office had been forced open by a small crowbar, the safe unlocked and the package of money gone. The safe was an old-fashioned one that opened with a key. An alarm was given and the company had detectives and officials here to investigate, but no clew was discovered and the matter was dropped and had almost been forgotten until to-day. Suits were filed to-day by Thomas C. Piatt, as President of the company, through James L. Price, against ex-Chief of Police "William R. Colvin and his son, Harmon M. Colvin. asking for judgement against them for t7.30O, with 6 per cent interest from Feb ruary 21, 1SS2, the time when tho money was taken.

The filing of the suit has caused a tremen dous sensation. William E. Colvin was City Marshal at the time of tho robbery and served the city in that capacity for many years theteafter, and when the police force was created he was made Chief of Police. He owns valuable real estate, and his son, H. M. Colvin, owns several business blocks, and is a diiector in the Ohio National Bank. EOBBEEIES AT BKADDOCK.

Copeland, Hall and Byers I5ply to It Action More Forcible Than Words V Bit or History. Theflve-dollnr rate which Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers introduced' for a stated period created a genuine snrprise, not only among doctor;, and druggists, out among newspaper readers generally. It was such a radical departure from tho big fees nsually charged by persons claiming to bp special ists that at first it could har.llv bq under stood by the public. Of course l!;e rate as not exceedingly profitable to the physicians themselves, and in some encs, especially those of patients out of the city, needing special preparations or apparatus to supply the place of offlco treatment, it entailed a positive los. In spite of this, however, Dr. Coppland. Hall and Byers lived up to the termi of their offer, and in no cae was a pntient charged more than $5 a month for medicines anu treatment utiring me periou the offer covered. Envious and les successful doctorslookcd on nt first w ith incrcunlitv. "There is some trick ahont it," they said. "They are going to get mo o money some wav.Tliev ciinunt tieat p-tttents and fur nish medicines at S5 a month." But in "Pite of this warnin?-, intelligent newspaper remleis who had laretully watched tho career ot Dr. Copeland and his associates during the rpnnv cai' that they have practiced medicine in Pittburg know that there wiis no tr'ck about it. They knew mat ur copeland, linn anu uyers re ligiously kept their promises to the public, and the offer met with a cordial and almost overwhelming response. Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers did what their enemies said could not be done. They did it, not only lor one month, but for" three consecutive months. Then incredulity gave place to anger. Envious doctors realized tiat a tell-, Ing blow had been struck at the unreason able system of heavy fees and expensive prescriptions. After that a remark fre quently made by discomfited physicians was: "Oh, true, they are simply doing that to get a crowd of people. After they get all the patients they want they will raise their rates and make a lot of money." One physician in another city, envious of the success of Dr. Copeland and his associ ates, went so far as to embodv this remark in acircularlctter(written una hektograph) which he mailed to all the names he could get. Well, we are prepared to show the weak ness or this method of attack jnf as cle.irly ns we havo shown tho weakness of other at tacks from a similar source. We are going to renew that offer to all patients who can come to the office fur treatment or medi cines in fact, forall cases wherein the Rite does not entail a positive loss to u. Ont-of town patients will De charaed only, in addi tion to this rate, the actual wholesale co-d of whatever special pieparations or appliances thev may need. To local patients we will maintain the rate of $5 a month for all medicines and treatment for the remainder or thn winter months, January and February. We believe this thoroughly 'demonstrates what we have been attempting to show, that patients can be skillfully, thoroughly and successfully treated at one-fourth, yes, one-tenth the cost charged by many who claim to be specialists. Fermtn;nMy located. There is one other remark that has been made which calls for n very dltect and yery forcible answer. The reduction of the rate to $5 a month up to a specified date gave rise to a remark from a certain source, something like thi-: "Ob! they are going to tako In ail the monev they can up to tha date, and then close their offlc and leave the town." Let it bo clearly and distinctly stated that .Dr. Copeland and his associates never closed an oine; ineir location neru is puuiiiiueiib, their leases and contracts are for a. term of wears, they are here to stay and less suceess- ini pnysiciansneeu not ueiuue tneinseivos with the hope that they are going to leave the city: they nre permanently located in Pittsburg and will permanently give skill ful, thorough and scientific tieatinent to all at low and uniform rates. Let theie be no misunderstanding about this. O'dest in tho Cnnntry. The physicians in this ofUco represent an individual practice of 23 years--a quarter of a century in Pittsburg nine year of which their names have Been advertised in the daily papers of this city. They represent the oldest firm of specialists in their line, now in active practice anywheie in tho United States. They stand, ready at any time to pro e these assertions. A BAD CASE OF ASTIIJIA, Aggravated by thi Irritating Presence of Polypoid Toman, Cured by Drs. Cope land, Hall and Byers Mrs. Burthart's Statement of Her "Wonderful Recovery. Some physicians claim that polypoid tum ors in the nasal cavities arc productive of no other bad results than the local one of annovnnce from obstruction of prop -r breathing, but Drs. Copeland, Hall and By ers are prepared to prove by the fo. lowing statement of Mrs. M. Burthart, who lives at Woods' Bun, that they aro ottcn the cause of the most distressing and aggravated dis-ease-1, and shonld be speedily and thorough ly lomovcd. We leave Mrs. Burthart to tell her story in her own words: Mrs. II. Burthart, Woods' Hun. "I had beon troubled with asthma," .says Sirs. Burthart, "for a gieat many years, which at times was so aggravated that I al moss suffocated for want ot breath. Almost every night I would have to sit propped up in bed gapping for air, ns 1 could not breathe while lying down. I also had violent pains over mv ee, and my nostrils Were so stopped up that I could scarcely breathe through them on the driest days, and ou damp days not at all. I was HAWKISG ATSD 8PITTIXO All the time to clear my throat, and had fre quent dizzy spells. "My stomach nlso gaye me considerable trouble. Alter eating it would seem to bloat up and cause me distressing pain and flut tering of tho heart. 'I had tried nnmerous doctors and medi cine, but without avail, until nt last I was pursnaded by a Kind neighbor to consult Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. Altergiving ine a careful examination and asking me inanv questions, they told me my trouble was "bronchial asthma, aggravated by my nostrils being clogged up with polypoid tumors arid catarrhal secietions, and that the tumors would have to be removed before I would experience much relief. "At first I was loth to submit to the opera tion, but they assured nie it was perfectly painless aud harmless, and as I was suffer ing so from the difficulty of getting my breath I finally consented, and the tumors weie speedily removed without the least pain. The relief was instantancons, and since, under their skillful treatment, my list lunatic am! other symptom have entirely lertmc. lean ao to bed now and sleep all nlirlits well as unj-onc. "I certainly feel verv grateful towards these skillful plijsiciiini for the relief afforded me, and take pleanie In recommending them to mv friend-, and the nublic in this L manlier. They aro doing a great and noblo work in placing micii skillful'tientir.entat such extremely Ion' rates, that tnose in tno most moderate circumstances an take-ad vantage of.

Head, Stomach mid Idver Trouble ot 14 Years' Standing Cared by Drs. Copeland Hall, and Byers. Mr. J. J. O'Dounell, who resides on Kan sas street, Twcnty-tlii-d ward, is a typical goahcad business man of the present age, who, in his ambition to oxcol in the buiiness world, neglects- that most priceless jewel, , jip? sigv jpL l'.. If health. Recently he furnished for publicai" tion the following statement: i . . -Mr. J. J. O'Dounell, Kansas Street. "LiSe many another.'' savs Mr. O'Donncll, "I had a wild ambition to get rich, and worked day and night with tnat object In view, neglecting exercise, needful -deep and regularity of taking mv meals. To this lat ter I attribute tho most ot my ill. "For M years my stomach and liver caused me the greatest tronble. During a greater part of that time I was compelled to live on liquid food entirely, as solids ciused great distress, nausea, vomiting, flatulence and the most excruciating cramps. Vomiting was my only relief from sncli attacks. "In addition to my toinach trouble I hid a bad taste in mv month in the morning, a loul, slimy tongue and offensive breath. I also had an almost constant headache and. stiffness of mv neck. Rending of so m-iny remarkable cures by Drs. Copeland, Hull & Byers, I determined to consult them, bnc with little hope of ben efit, as I bad Ions since si en that up in de- -spair. Their examination and method of handling my case was so thorough and pro fessional it at once in-pired mo w ith confi dence, and I decided to take treatment. "The results are very decided and satis factory. All my distressing SMnntoms hava been dispelled, I can cit anything and at any time without fear of attor distress. My headaches are gone and I feel perfectly well' in everv respect, with my old time vigor and nm'bition reasserting itself. I owe all this to the careful, and con-cientious treat ment received at the hand of Drs. Cope land, Hall &, Brers, and cheerfully make this statement in their praise." ON TOTJK HONOR. " This Is the Condition Upon Which a Lady Correspondrnt Asks a Direct Question. "Is catarrh curable? Answer on your honoras gentlemen." Now, this direct and very emphatic ques tion was the introduction of a letter which Dr. Coneland and his associates leceived tho other day from a lady in Sharon, Pa.: "Is catarrh cunble? Answer on your honor as gentlemen." While the question implies considerable doubt as to tho curability of catarrh, or per haps an impression that tho disease is not curable, it also implies a complimentary re liance on the truthfulness or the people to whom it was addressed, nnd, for that reason, deserves a fair and square answer, ana such an answer it shall receive. Yes; catarrh is a curable disease. Wehava been demonstrating thatfnet for years. We are demonstrating it every week in tho pub lished statements of well-known men and women in the community, who have been entirely cured, nnd who state to the.publio over their own signatures, and in interviews accompanied bytheir portraits, that they have ben cured. We have been demonstrating it again and azam by relcrring continually to state ments published in onr advertisement years ago, and reaffirmed by the persons speaking to-day, who point to their state ments of ye.irs ago. and state that not the slightest'sign or symptom of their trouble has appeared since their original statements were made. Catarrh is curable. Tq the reading, think ing, intellfcrent public we have left no room for doubt of tho truth of the statement. We answer this question "on our honor as gen tlemen" and as conscientious physicians everyday in our consultation room. Wo deal nonestly with our patients and keep laith with the pnblic. Intelligent people know this. Even those who are not specially interested in our work know that it would not be profitable for na to do anything else. Located, as we are, permanently in the citv. charging a regular nnd nniform fee of$j0a month for medi cine and treatment, it would be the height of folly to imDOsenpon the public, even if we desired to" do so. Advertisers who im pose on the people expect to seetheirpa tients but very few times and charge exor bitant fees. The specialist who charges low tees and sees his patients regularly two or three times a week, or hears from them reg ularly, is not going to make statements that he cannot fulfill. This stands to reason. When we say catarrh is curable, we mean exactly what we say, and when we place a patient under treatment in the office for catarrh, we expect to enro him. The ma jority of the ca3cs that we treat are cured; some are not. There are cases where the progress of catarrh ha- extended to the lungs, the heart, or some vital organ, and a cure is impossible. Where the disease has been so long neglected, no medical skill will bring about a cure. In such cases we are fortunate if we can benefit the patient, and in these instances we never promise to effect a cure. Catarrh, when it has developed into Con sumption and reached an advanced stage, can rarelv, if ever, be entirely cured. There are other and more frequent cases in which a failure to obtain a euro Is noted. In these caes it is not the seriousness of the disease that prevents a cure: it is the cart-lcssness, neglect and thoughtlessness of the patient. For instance, as soon as he be gins to improve he becomes neglectful 4a taking his medicine or in getting his treat ment; savs it is too much trouble, and in a short time comes to a stand-still as far as improvement is concerned, and aftern, while blames his doctor for not curing him. This is a fair example or a great many cases. The impression tljat catarrh is incurable is in creased by such cases as this and U fostered by physicians who do not treat catarrh and know nothing about it. Catarrh is a curable disease. In cases where the pstient follows our directions faithfully, regularly, and for the prescribed length of time, a complete and permanent enre is morally certain. We are ready to maintain this proposition by an abundance of evidence, and to the question with which this article began woansuerin all sincerity and on our "honor as gentlemen" that catarrh is curable when tho patient follows legularlyand faithfully the doctor's instruc tions, when the contraction or no other dis ease interteres with the progress of the treatment, and when the catarrhal conditiou itself has not been neglected so long as to extend into Consumption or some other fatal disease.
