BUTLER CITIZEN
MISCELLANEOU N.
ATDETECTIVE'S EXPERIENCE.
His Successful Undertaking and
Escape from an Impending
Fate.
(Buffalo, X. V., New*.)
One morning several years ago, just
as the dull gray light was beginning to
show itself in the east, a Bmall band of
might have been seen deployed abont
a house on Ferry street, in Buffalo.
There was nothiDg special either in the
dress or appearance of the men to in
dicate their intention, but it was plain
that they had business of importance
on hand. Suddenly a man appeared
at one of the windows, took in the sit
uation at a glance, and, swinging him
self outward with wonderful quickness,
scaled the roof of the house. This
man was Tom Ballard, the notorious
counterfeiter; and, armed to the teeth
and fully realizing his situation, he de
fied justice and the officials below him.
Some of the officers, knowing the des
perate character of the man, proposed
to shoot him until he was killed, but
one of the number promptly protested,
and declared that if his brother officers
would assist him to ascend he would
capture the man alive. Accordingly
he began the difficult and dangerous
task, and succeeded in bringing his
prisoner to the ground in safety.
The man who accomplished this
task Was Mr. Thomas Curtin, the pres
ent superintendent of city police of
Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Curtin is a man
who is known by every prominent
detective and policeman in America,
and he stands pre-eminently in the
front rank of his profession. Quiet
and gentlemanly in appearance and
manners, he possesses a courage, com
bined with marked physical powers,
that make him the terror of evil-doers
and the pride of law-abiding citizens.
Few people can realize, however, the
trials, exposures, and even privations,
to which the members of every munci
pal police and fire department are ex
posed. Compelled to be on duty at un
certain hours, subjected to the most
inclement weather, and often necessita
ted by the nature of their duties to
protracted undertakings, they endure a
nervous and physical strain that is ter
rible. Sach was the experience of Mr.
Cnrtin in former days; and it is not
surprising that he found himself suffer
ing from a mysterious physical trouble.
* In relating his experience to a repre
sentative of this paper he said:
"At times when I was on duty I
would an unaccountable weariness
and lack of energy. My appetite was
also uncertain and my head seemed
dull and heavy. I did not fully under
stand these troubles, but supposed, as
most people suppose, that I was suffer
ing from malaria. I tried to throw off
the feeling, but it would not go. I
thought I might overcome it, but found
I was mistaken, and I finally became
so badly off that it was almost impos
sible to attend to my duties. I have
known any number of men in the police
and fire departments of this country
who have been afflicted as I was, and
doubt not there are to-day hundreds
similarly troubled who, like myself, did
not know the cause, or really what ail
ed them."
"Yonr present appearance, Mr. Cur
tin, does not indicate much physical
debility," said the interviewer as he
looked at the 220 pounds of bone and
muscle standing nearly five feet eleven
inches in height before him.
"0, no; that is altogether a thing of
the past, and I am happy to say that
for more than a year I have enjoyed
almost perfect health, although I now
realize that I was on the road to certain
death by Bright's disease of the kidneys
and traveling at a very rapid pace."
"How did you come to recover so
completely ?"
"That is just what I want to tell
you, for I believe it may be of great
•ervice to many others in my profession,
who may possibly hear of it. I began
the use of a popular remedy at the
earnest solicitation of a number of
friends in this city, and found to my
great gratification that I began feeling
better. This feeling continued and I
gained in strength and vigor until now
I am perfectly well—and wholly
through the instrumentality of Warner's
Safe Cure which I believe to be the
best medicine lor policemen, firemen,
railroad men or any other class of peo
ple exposed to danger or a change of
weather, ever discovered. Since my
recovery I have rccommeuded it every
where, and never knew a case where it
failed either to cure or benefit. I would
not be without it under any considera
tion, and I am positive it is a wonder
fully valuable and at the same time en
tirely harmless remedy. Indeed, I see
that Dr. Gunn, dean of the United
States Medical College of New York,
indorses it in the highest terms "
"So you experience little difficulty in
(he execution of your duties now, Mr.
Curtin, do you ?"
"None Whatever. Our department
was never in better condition than at
present."
"And do you never have any fear of
some of the desperadoes -whom you
have been the means of bringing to
juitlce ?"
"Not in the least. Such men do not
try to retaliate, partially because they
have not the courage, but oftener be
cause they respect an officer who does
his duty."
The policemen, firemen, letter car
riers and other public employes in this
..country have a particularly trying life.
When, therefore, a simple and pure
remedy that can restore and sustain the
health of all such men is found, it
should be cause for great congratula
tion, especially when recommended by
such a man as Superintendent Thomas
Curtin of Buffalo.
—Tako your grapes in the present
form, and not when bottled.
—There is a constant effort on the
part of that grim monster "Disease"
to become master of mortal man. Only
a careful observance of natural laws
can render his efforts unavailing. Yet
too often injudicious excesses, sudden
changes, too great exposure, improper
food or other abuses of nature open the
gateway end disease gains a victory.
Sometimes its mastery is so complete
that nature herself can never effect a
dielodgement. lu su?h instances rein
force nature with a judicious use of
Brown's Iron Bitters and we guaran
tee, in a short time, all disease will
be vanished.
—An honest milkman should avoid
even the appearance of pumps.
—The little daughter of the editor
of the Tiffin, 0., "Daily Star" was im
mediately and permanently relieved of
a severe cough by three doses of Dr.
Bull's Cough Syrup. A twenty-five
cent bottle of this valuable remedy
will cure tho worst cougt.
—After a bill is settled you can

Strength for Mind and Body.
There is more strength restoring pow
er in a bottle of Parker's Ginger Tonic
than iu a bushel of malt or a gallon of
milk. This explains why invalids find
it such a wonderful invigorant for
mind and body.

Where to See the Great Trotters
of New York.
Cincinnati Times-Star.]
No two men in America have had
more experience with fine trotting
stock, and none are better judges than
Calvin M. Priest, of the New York
Club stables, 28th street near Fifth
avenue and Dan Mace, of the Excel
sior stables, West 29th street, New
York, the champion double-team driver
of the United States. Both of these
gentlemen say, that for painful ail
ments in horses, such as cuts, braises,
swellings, lameness, stiffness, St.
Jacobs Oil is superior to anything they
have ever used or heard of. This is
also the opinion of Prof. David llob
arge, the celebrated horse-shoer of the
metropolis, and thousands of stock
owners throughout the country. As
a pain-cure for man and beast St.
Jacobs Oil has no equal. Mr. Priest
recites the case of a valuable trotter,
so stiff from rheumatism, that he could
not move an inch. By one, .thorough
application of St. Jacobs Oil at night,
the animal was completely cured, and
was fit for the race track the next day.
—There is nothing dry about a wet

Bitters and feel safe in recommending
them to all in poor health."

ever got along without Parker's Gin

An Editor's Testimonial..
A. M. Yaughan, Editor of the
"Greenwich Review," Greenwich, 0.,
writes:—Last January I met with a
very severe aceidcut, caused by a run
away horse. I used almost every kind
of salve to heal the wounds, which
turned to running sores, but found
nothing to do me any good till I was
recommended Henry's Carbolic Sa[ve.
I bought a box and it helped me at
once, aud at the end of two months I
was completely well. It is the best
salve in the market, and I never fail of
telling my friends about it, and urge
them to use it whenever they need a
salve.
Medical Skill Baffled.
T. C. Coyle, of Clarkburg, W. Ya ,
writes:—l am quite familiar with Sco
vill's Sarsaparilla aud Slillingia, or
Blood and Liver Syrup, having used
it for the past fifteen years 03 an alter
ative medicine, and can safely say that
it is superior to any with which I am
acquainted now iu the market for the
cure and control of tho.se diseases of
the blood that have baffled the skill of
the masters of the medical profession.

Another Case of kidney Disease
1 Cured by Rheumatic Syrup.
FURNACE YILLIAGE, Wayne Co , N
Y., March 3, 1882.
GENTS—Fifteen years ago I had a
very severe attack of rheumatism,
which settled in my back and hips,
and much of the time for the last live
years I have been unable to attend to
my business; far weeks and weeks at
a time I have been unable to turn in
my bed or to feed myself. I have
tried many remedies, and two yea s
I consulted one of the most celebrated
physicians in the Slate, who pronouue
ed it kidney disease, but I grew worse
all of the time during his treatment. I
heard your Rheumatic Syrup highly
recommended, a;.d I tried it, and before
I bad used two bottles all pain hud
left me, and to day I can get about and
am able to attend to my business, and
am improving rapidly every day. I
am confident that the Rheumatic
Syrup, if taken as directed, will cure
any case of rheumatism of kidney dis
ease. lam respectfully yours,

How Watch Cases are Made.
In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cased is made of a composition known
as aliiata, wluch is a very poor substitute
for silver, ai it turns black in a short time.
The backs of such casts are made much
thinner than tlr>se of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in a silver case L» the joints or hinges, which
thould be made of gold. Those of most
cheap eases are n.ade of silver, which is
net a suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allow ing t::e backs to become loose
upon tiie case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumniulate in the pocket. The
Keystone iSilverY* atch Cases are only made
w ith silver caps and gold joints.
