HUMORS OF THE POLICE.
Who Should be the Next Three Captains-
Wa'king up the Twenty-ninth — Spirited
Police Horses that Should be on the Turf
—Stopped to Learn Surgery —The Man
Who Never Waltzed-Another Who Never
Played Pool. __
THE MEN THAT SHOULD BE PROMOTED CAP
TAINS.
The department is short of three captains by the
deaths of Tynan, Cherry, and the promotion of
Steers to the Inspectorship, made vacant by the
death of Mr. Thorne.
There are four Commissioners, each of wnom
Bhouid have the patronage of having his man.
As it is a question of spoils, how can the four
Commissioners each have a man when there are
only three vacancies ?
Three sergeants should certainly be equal to a
captaincy, and that being admitted, the Commis
sioners in secret session could agree to draw “cuts”
by means of straws, or paper, and the shortest cut
straws be the advancement of three roundsmen to
the higher position made vacant. Or they could
settle the dilliculty by “heads or tails,” throwing
up four coppers.
Having shown away out of the woods to the Com
missioners, we would nominate Sergeant Budding
ton as our first choice for Captain. In former times
he was hot-headed, impetuous, and sometimes over
zealous in executing the Excise law. But time has
mellowed him down to a sober, conservative officer,
*nd if advanced no man would bo sorry for it. We
rather think, in his long connection with the De
partment, he has never been fined a day’s pay.
The next candidate should be Sergeant Blair. He
Is about as active, after more than twenty-five years
of service, as when appointed. The various Commis
sioners and Captains under whom he has worked
have found him satisfactory, and ho gets as good
work out of the men under him, without being ty
rannical, as - any sergeant on the force. In his long
years of service, there is not a day’s fine marked
against him on the record.
That is something to be proud of —a clean record.
Last, but not the least, is Sergeant Stewart, who
has taken tho place of Steers at the City Hall.
He has not only an excellent record as an officer,
but as a soldier.
He enlisted in the Seventy-ninth Regiment in ’6l,
and was discharged as sergeant-major after doing
three years of active service.
Leaving the army, he was appointed on the force
in ’66, and during his nineteen years of service ho
has never been before the Commissioners on trial.
His record as citizen, soldier and policeman has
been unexceptional.
As for the roundsmen who should step into the
shoes of the promoted sergeants, there are such a
lot of good, able fellows among them, it would bo
unjust to give preferences.
OVERHAULING THE TWENTY-NINTH.
It looked as if a dead sot had been made on the
patrolmen of the Twenty-ninth Precinct.
Foster and Kenny admitted failing to be on their
relieving point.
Trainor was found sitting down and asleep in the
basement, No. 25 East. Thirtieth street. He admitted
being down there, but not asleep, and asked to
make an explanation. He saw some men running
across his post to Madison avenue. He gave chaso
and ran as fast as he could after them, but they beat
him, and then he ran back to post as fast as ho had
run from it, and was overcome by the race. To get
aßiriiik, and cool down, ho went into this place and
bad just sat down to get a drink of water when the
XouudsifiaQ canje in.
The engineer in the basement said the officer
cpuld not asleep. Ths office? w-J 8 not oyer three
"lliinute's in the pla6o. He sat down and said,
me a drink of water, this heat makes me sick.” He
told him to Bitdown, but the officer said he was
airaid of the rduScteman.
Xhe roundsman said he shook him up.
SAW MAC’S SHADOW.
McCabe was found in the livery stable, No. 145
West Thirty-third street. Coming out the officer
met Roundsman Chapman.
The roundsman said he “ struck ” McCabe’s post
at Sixth avenue, and went to Seventh. The stable
door was open, and he asked the man inside “Who’s
there?” The stable mau came, and he told him to
close the place. He left, but stopped and looked
back, and saw the shadow of a policeman in the
shade at the door, go in, come out again. He finally
came out with the stableman.
HIS WARMED UP COFFEE.
Sergt. Cross found Brennan in a hallway loading
to a liquor saloon on Sixth avenue, at 12:45 mid
night.
Brennan said he left his coffee can in tjie saloon
to get warmed, and he went in the hallway to get it.
PATRONIZES THE HOFFMAN HOUSE.
Perkins was absent from his post in tho lobby of
the Hoffman House. He said he went to the water
closet. Coming out, tho house detective detained
him. Wasn’t five seconds there.
Sergeant Cross said he found the officer in con
versation with some citizens. Asked what he was
doing in there, and the officer told him- The ser
geant asked if he had left anybody to coyer his
post. He said yes.
SEEKING FOR THE FORGOTTEN.
Brown acknowledged being in conversation with s
a citizen at Fifth avenue and Twenty-eighth street.
The man asked for Kelly. He didn't know he had J
resigned about a year ago. The citizen asked where
Kelly lived. He didn’t know. He was not over five ’
or six minutes in conversation.
This was quite an array to be salted down from <
tho Twenty-ninth Precinct.
THE HOBSE POLICE. ‘
Shawsky aUd Sheehan, of the Thirty-third Pre- i
cinct, drpve their hOi£ e ® at Shawsky i
big horse/ *'t- nt
... question Shawsky said they came c
up from tho city escorting a parade. The saddle t
turned, and fixing it it caused a little delay, and the s
company had gone a block and a half ahead. When i
be again mounted his horse got wild and ran away
with him, and he did the best to hold him back.
On the run there was a truck near the middle of the
street, and his choice was to run into the men or -
the truck, he couldn’t stop tho horse. The horse £
struck the truck and threw him.
Sergeant Wallace said when he gave the order to 1
mount every man was in his'place. Ten blocks t
from where they started the two officers had lagged
behind, and were apparently running a race. No 1
horse but can bo brought up within half a block. 1
Shawsky run against a truck and overturned it. the ‘
horse ell, and the officer made asommersault, land- j
ing on the other side of the truck.
The officer said the horse had run away with men I
before. The curb wasn’t big enough to hold.
Wallace said be had ridden the horse, and it didn’t 1
give him any trouble. !
Sheehan said ho stopped with his brother officer '
to help him fix the girth. When the other horse ;
started on the run, his horse became wild to boat it, 1
and he couldn't hold it back. '
BECAME THE DOCTOR’S AID.
Granger, of the Nineteenth Precinct, was sent
with an injured man to the hospital, and was <
charged with loitering there.
The officer said ho didn’t loiter there. He found
the injured man on his post, and took him to the
hospital. After getting there tho man became
loony, and tho doctor called upon him to give him .
assistance. Tho man had beon drinking, and it
was at the doctor’s request he stopped to work
with him, and that caused his delay.
THAT UNFORTUNATE GOOD NIGHT.
Harper, of tho Sixth Precinct, admitted being in
a liquor store. No. 40 Franklin street. It was a re
spectable place, and closed generally at eleven
o’clock. It was quiet then, but when he came back,
there was a crowd of noisy nigger sailors that had
just arrived from Calcutta. The proprietor thought
that there would be a disturbance and called him in
to clear them out, he couldn’t do it alone. Was in
about two or three minutes.
Roundsman Doyle said going over the post ho
saw Harper come out. Four or five came out with
him. Whether niggers or not he couldn’t say, he
was on the opposite side of tile street.
“ Did be keep with them ?” asked Com. Porter.
“ He spoke a lew words to them at the door, and
bid them good night,” said the roundsman.
MILK DEADHEADS.
Jennings, Of the Sixth Precinct, found sitting in
the Harlem Railroad Depot, said he had been up al.
dxy, St, Patrick's day. At twelve o’clock they were 1
turned out. At twenty minutes to one ho went in
there. Ttmre wasn’t a saloon in the Sixth Ward
opejj in th’d neignborhood aftfer ten o’slock at
night.
At twenty minutes to five he had to go in wit l .!
the report of a street lamp out. There he met Offi
cer Munn, who said his milk was frozen.
'• This was two blocks off his post,” said Wand
!in<r. “He wag sitting thojo faking it quite easy.
'T'lio SYan hi charge of the depot said the officer
came in to get his drink of milk.” a <•
Muqn siyd he* too t woat in *•<? £ e t a drink of milk.
It was frozen, and they put it on the stove till it
would thaw out. Waiting till it was drinkable, th§
roundsman came in.
WALTZING ON POST.
Coyle and Carroll loitered and waltzed around the
corner at No. 428 Grand street, and, when not jigging
around, were in conversation with a watchman. So
said Roundsman Brookheim.
Carroll said he never waltzed in his life. He said
they were looking at an electric light—the carbon
was blazing. The watchman called their attention
to it, and then he got a broom and put it out. They
might have stood there seventeen minutes, but they
didn't waltz a bit.
TAKEN BY NECESSITY.
Tancred admitted being in a liquor-saloon, but
necessity took him there, aud coming out he inet
the roundsman.
Tho proprietor of the store said the place was
closed when the officer came in. Going out he got
a cigar. A couple of men were inside finishing a
sandwich. Ho opened the door for the officer when
he heard the rap.
NEVER PLAYED POOL IN HIS LIFE.
Risley, of the Twenty-second Precinct, was found
in the liquor-store No. 949 Ninth avenue.
The officer said he was making his last round;
passing this place, the proprietor said, “Please
come in.” Going in the proprietor said he wanted
to see him about that case of his. A burglary had
been committed in his place the week before and he
wanted to know if there was a prospect of working
it up. Just then the roundsman camo in. He was
by the pool table, but not playing—never played
pool in his life. There was nobody there to play
pool with.
THE TWENTY-SEVENTH.
Brownell, of the Twenty-seventh Precinct, was
Bick and had to go to the gentleman’s toilet. He
couldn’t be found for an hour and a half.
Lamb, same precinct, had chills, and went up on
the elevated station to get a heat by the stove.
Gallagher, same precinct, found in the hallway of
a liquor store, said he followed a suspicious charac
ter aud lost him when he went up stairs.
The roundsman found the officer behind the
door.
The Reputation of a Standard Arti
cle is seldom injured by surreptitious rivalry. Imi
tators of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have not only
lost money by attempting underhand competition
with it, but have actually contributed to enhance
the estimation in which the genuine medicine is
held. The public at large has lor many years been
acquainted with the ear marks that distinguish the
real from the spurious, and cannot be persuaded
that other articles sold in a somewhat similar guise
are equally good. Fever and ague, constipation,
dyspepsia, and liver complaint are not curable by
cheap local bitters, eye openers and tonics, but the
fact is too well proven and too generally known to
admit of conscientious dispute, that for these and
other maladies the great household medicine is a
safe and thorough remedy. Not only in the United
States, but in Mexico, South America, and the West
Indies, its merits are widely recognized and its rep
utation top firmly established to be shaken,

THE FIRE HYDRANTS —TRIALS
AND JUDGMENTS—NOTES.
THE FIRE HYDRANTS.
Upon the suggestion of the Board of Fire Com
missioners to Aiderman Hartman, that official in
troduced the following ordinance at the last meet
ing of that Board for their consideration, which wae
laid over for future action:
“An Ordinance to regulate the use of fire hydrants
by persons other than members of the Fire De
partment.
“The Mayor, Aidermen and Commonalty of the
City of New York do ordain as follows:
“ Section 1. It shall not be lawful for any person,
other than a member of the Fire Department, or
persons officially connected with said department,
to open or use any fire hydrant for the purpose of
obtaining water therefrom, or for any other pur
pose, except as provided in Section 2 of this ordi
nance, under a penalty of fifty dollars for every of
fense, to be imposed and collected by any police
magistrate before whom every such offender may
be taken, and in default of payment of such penalty
every such offender shall be imprisoned for ten
days.
“Section 2. The Commissioner of Public Works
is hereby authorized and directed to designate,
from time to time, such fire hydrants as may be
required to be used by persons engaged in the work
of sprinkling or cleaning the streets of this city,
and every such fire hydrant so designated shall bo
painted white before being used; and any person so
engaged in tho work of sprinkling or cleaning the
streets, who shall open or draw water from any hy
drant not qo painted white, shall thereby incur the
penalty mentioned in Section 1 of this ordinance.
“Sections. This ordinance shall take effect im
mediately.”
In this connection Chief Engineer Shay said to
tho Dispatch reporter: “That the reason of the water
supply being so inadequate, was that most of the
hydrants were frozen during the recent severe cold
weather, by the improper use of the laborers in the
street cleaning department.
• ‘lt is the usual practice when firemen get through •
using a hydrant in cold weather, they pump the
water out above tho underground valve, and that
having been done there is no water to freeze. The
employees of the street cleaning department,
(mainly Italians), used the hydrants for the purpose
of sprinkling the streets, and when they get through,
water is left in the pipes, which of course soon
freezes and leaves the hydrants useless for fire pur
poses. I have seen these sweepers sprinkling the
streets when it was so cold that tho water froze as
soon as it struck the pavement.
“ Last February we thawed out over a thousand
hydrants, in order to have them ready for use when
they were needed.
“ Recently the hydrants have been frozen again,
and it costs considerable money to keep them in
general working order.”
These remarks by Chief Shay were concurred in,
in every particular, by Assistant Chief Engineer
Bonner, with this addition; as the Chief says: “The
workmen employed by the contractors for street
cleaning are in the habit of opening fire-hydrants
to “Hush” the streets and letting the water run.
“ This carries off the salt deposits placed in the
hydrants and many are again frozen; there is only
one way to stop this, and that is for the police offi
cer to arrest any man who attempts to open a hy
drant unless he shows a proper permit to do so,
and all Qf these ignorant Italian street sweepers
have wrenches to open any aud all our hydrants.”
RETIRING FIREMEN.
On last Tuesday, Senator Gibbs introduced in tho
State Senate, Mr. McGoldrick’s bill in regard to the
retirement of our firemen on half-pay who have
served twenty years in tho Department. No action
so far has beeq taken upon the matter,
THE BOARD’S MEETING.
The Board met as usual on last Wednesday morn,
ing, with President Van Cott in the chair, Com
missions Purroy and Croker present.
The first transited sei‘o the trials of the
following named:
ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE.
Foreman Austin C. Dusonberre,; of-Engine Com
pany No. 29, was charged with being absent with
out leave for two hours on March 20th, Chief
Rowe of the First Battalion preferring the charge.
When tho casp was called, "Little Duse,” as the
boys all call him, faced the music like a major, and
saluted the members in a very respectful and smil
ing manner, and when the charge was rea-d to him,
he said :
“Mr. President aud gentlemen of the Board, I
plead guilty to the charge, under very peculiar cir
cumstances. I was on a leave of absence, and went
out of town, and in returning I missed a train. It
was unavoidable. I assure you, and this unfortunate
circumstance has placed mo in the position that I
am In to-day before your honorable Board; but I
got back to company quarters as soon as I possibly
could. It was unavoidable.”
The Board then fined the foreman the loss of five
days’ pay.
PAY AS YOU GO.
Fireman Michael J. Reilly, of Engine Company
No. 27, was charged with failing to satisfy a claim of
s4l, made by B. Stern & Son, of No. 460 Grand st.
The accused pleaded guilty, and said :
“ Gentlemen of the Board, I have liad a great deal
of trouble in my family, and from necessity’s sako
had to give them all of my money. The claim is a
just and legitimate one, and I am willing to pay it
as soon as 1 can, and the man to whom I owe this
money says he is perfectly satisfied that I pay the
amount in equal monthly payments. The bill is
for clothes, and I think I can pay the whole amount
in four or five months.”
The claimant was not present during the trial, nor
could the messengers find him in the building.
Commissioner Purroy—“lf you don't pay your
debts you will get into trouble.”
The accused—Commissioner, I will pay them;
what I want is time. I will have all this indebted
ness cancelled by the first day of August next.”
"-nissioner Purroy—“You ought to be ashamed
Uou>.— the streets with clothes on your
jf yourself to w— •“'id for. Well, sentence is
Dody that you have not p— ' make your prom
mspended to give you a chance w
,se good.” '■'•v-y ...
ANOTHER OF THE SAME KIND.
Fireman Timothy J. Crotty, of Engine Company
No. 27, was tried on a charge of failing to satisfy a
Maim of $40.50 made against him by J. C. Michael
Vorker, of No. 54 Bond street, which amount he
promised to pay on February 21st last, and so far
the debt remains unpaid.
The accused took his place at the foot of the ta
ble, facing the President and Commissioners Pur
roy and Croker, with an appearance indicating “I
am all right in this matter—l ain’t a slouch, and all
I want is a chance for my life,” and when the charge
was read to him, he said: “Gentlemen, I plead
guilty. I sent a note to the lawyer, saying I was
willing to pay the amount in monthly instalments
of five dollars each, and he said that was perfectly
satisfactory. The claim, I acknowledge, is a just
one, and 1 have signed an agreement to pay this
amount in two instalments—the first to bo for
twenty dollars and twenty-five cents on tho third
day of April, and the other twenty dollars and twen
ty-five cents on the third day of May following,”
Commissioner Purroy—*• Well, Crotty, the Board
will suspend sentence in your case to give you a
chance to pay up your indebtedness. If you don’t,
you will be fined double its amount.”
Crotty—“Mr. Commissioner, I assure you I will
keep my promise.,’
Commissioner Purroy—Very well, see that you
do so. That’s all.”
SICK FIREMEN.
The medical officers reported that during the past
week they had on their lists the names of fifty-one
sick and disabled officers and men, but in most of
the cases the brave fellows were doing handsomely.
NOTES.
“ Harry ” Teal, who is an Assistant Foreman of
Hook and Ladder Company No. 9, and for several
years has been tho driver for Ex-Chief Engineer
Bates, and since his accession to the Chief Engineer
ship in the place of Chief Bates, the driver for Chief
Shay, seems to be growing more rotund every day.
Harry says he sleeps and eats a clear con
science, etc., etc., aud will never say “ die.” Harry
is a “thoroughbred;” knows about sending out
alarms for important fires, whether they be
“ seconds,” “ thirds,” “ special calls,” or the
“three sixes.” While he is prompt in the execu
tion of his duty, he is also one of the best hearted
fellows that ever lived, and is overflowing with fun
and humor, aud to see him laugh with his great
corpososity of body would be simply epidemic, and
it would be almost impossible to restrain one’s self
to be in his company a half hour, so full is he of his
natural vivacity of spirits, and all the “boys,” high
and low in station in the Department well know it,
and can fully corroborate the statements above
given.
During the past week special building signal box
es have ueon placed in the following premises in
connection with fire headquarters?'
Station —Schrenkheisen’s, furniture man-
ufactory, at Nos. 160 to 166 Monroe street. Station
No, 221—The barker House, located in Broadway
hear Thirty-fourth street. Station No. 223—Schief
felin & Co. (drugs), located at Nos. 170 and 172 Wil
liam street.
The Board has awarded to the Gutta Pevcha and
Rubber Manufacturing Company the contract for
furnishing’the department with 10,000 feet of the
Baker rubber-lined cotton fire hose, at the sum
of $9,500. Also for supplying the department with
5,000 tons of coal, at the sum of $17,350, the con
tractor being Henry E. Bow ns; and also for supply
ing the department with 4,000 feet of American Dou.
ble or Jacket Hose, at $3,600, the contractor being
Mr. E. E. Sibley,who represents the Fire Hose Man
ufacturing Company, of Chelsea, Mass.
COMPLIMENTING THE DEPARTMENT.
The Board on Friday issued the following circular
to tho force, and it being of such a complimentary
character to them, wo give it in full:
Headquarters FirexDep’t, City of New York. )
Office Board of Commissioners. J
New York, March 23, 1885. )
[Circular No. I.]
In a recent communication, the Chief of Depart
ment invites attention to the unusual amount of
duty the fire-extinguishing force was called upon to
perform during the past three months, and that,
notwithstanding the obstacles to the successful
operations of the force, such as the extreme severity
of the Winter, the freezing of many hydrants, and
the exposure and fatigue consequent upon the un
precedented number oi alarms responded to, the
service was promptly, cheerfully and efficiently
rendered.
From the communicat'on referred to, the follow
ing facts with reference to the alarms responded to
and duty performed at fires, etc., during the period
referred to, is taken:
December, 1884—290 alarms, of which 8 were
second and 9 third alarms.
January, 1885—292 alarms, of which 6 were
second and 9 third alarms.
February, 1885—261 alarms, of which 12 were
second and 13 third alarms.
That the greatest number of fires occurred on the
following days : December 20, 1884, 33; January 22,
1885, 18: January, 27, 1885, 16; February 21, 1885,16.
That on twenty-six days, out of the ninety com
prising the entire period, the daily average number
of fires was twelve, the general daily average for the
whole three months being eight and a half.
That the severe strain upon officers and men was
made plainly evident by the increase of the sick
list to nearly nine per centum of the entire force,
necessitating large details from the upper to the
lower sections of the city, to strengthen the com
panies thus weakened.
The Commissioners desire to place upon record
their unqualified admiration and commendation o;
the excellent behavior ot the uniformed force, un
der circumstances so trying aud exhausting, and
to congratulate them upon the success attending
their efforts to preserve life and property.

SENDING OUT ALARMS OF FIRE.
At the meeting of tho Board yesterday Commis
sioner Croker presented the following preambles
c ‘ and resolutions which were adopted:
18 Whereas, Frequent and sometimes very serious
, delays occur in sending alarms after the discovery
1,8 of fires, notwithstanding the means afforded for
3 ‘ that purpose; and,
TFAereas, The first minutes after the outbreak of
0 fires, if the alarm is promptly sent, are of greater
value to the householders and owners in the saving
•» of loss, and to the firemen, than subsequent hours
’ r of labor and effort to extinguish fires; and,
Whereas, The delay in sending alarms for fires
’ r generally result from want of information as to the
location of the nearest fire-alarm box; therefore,
£ Resolved, That the cards prepared under the direc
tion of this Board showing the location of the fire
-0 alarm box nearest to each building in this city,
F giving directions as to the sending of alarms and
v ’ suggesting precautions to be taken against fires
3 resulting from some of the most prolific causes, be
turned over to the Chief of Department for distribu
-8 tion through the companies in their respective
• districts with directions to have one or more care
fully and neatly tacked upon each building,- above
£ the reach of children, in as conspicuous a position
» as practicable, and preferably in the various classes
3 of buildings as follows:
3 In dwellings of all kinds, and office buildings in
3 the main hallway.
’ In hotels, factories, warehouses, stables, etc., in
3 the office or near the front door.
In schools, churches, etc., inthe vestibules or lob
■ bies.
In places of amusement, in or near the ticket-of
fice, and upon the stage.
In mercantile establishments, etc., in tho office
or near the desk; and
Resolved, That the owners and occupants of build
’ ings be requested, by the representatives of this
Department detailed to distribute the cards, to per
mit them to be as conspicuously placed as possible,
and that the names and addresses of all persons re
fusing to receive such cards be reported to the
Board.
Miserable Bascals JVrrested.
A COURT OVERCROWDED TO GET A LOOK AT
THEM.
The court room at Jefferson Market was packed,
probably four hundred persons were present, to got
a glimpse of the thirty Sodomites that were arrested
in the basement of No. 54 Carmine street. Iwo wo
men were found in the crowd. The two colored
proprietors were dressed in the gaudiest calico
prints that could bo found in the market, -and look- .
ed grotesquely ugly. <
James Robbins, boss, gave the name of Jenny
Lind; the other fellow, his partner, also gave a wo
man’s name.
The proprietors were first arraigned.
“Are you man or woman ?” asked Justice Duffy
of the fantastically dressed fellow.
“A man, sah,” said the nigger with a grin. Roars
of laughter followed this confession.
“ Take that clout off your head,”|said the justice,
amid renewed laughter. “ What are you ?” asked
the justice, addressing the other negro.
“A man, sah.” This produced roars of laughter.
It couldn’t be stopped, the scene was more comi
cal that often witnessed in the broadest farce.
” W r o didn’t know as we was doing anything agin
the law,” said the nigger with a grin. “We had a
i©er Valiant said there were two colored women
k crowd, on the night of the 17th, or rather
turning, between 12 and 1 o’clock; he was in
lace for some time. They attempted to make
an iud?cen| &im. He tljem go ©g and ’
they made an attempt at robbery, white ue played
drunk. Both prisoners in female apparal, were
•there at the iinlo.
“What do you work at?” the Justice asked one
of prisoners.
“ <?ook,” he replied, " live in Carmine street.”
“ You keep a rendevouz for the dirtiest people in
tho ward,” said the Justice. “You ought to be
fired out of the cannon’s mouth. What is your i
name ?” asked the Justice of the other.
“ He is known as Miss Nancy,” said the officer.
The accused were sent to the Island six months
each, in default of SI,OOO bail to keep the peace.
The other prisoners were sent up for terms varying
from one to three m.onths.
It was said that there was quite a sprinkling of
Mackintosh’s in the audience. This is the crime
that made such a sensation in Dublin not long ago.

a careful application ot the fine properties of well selected
Cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables With a
delicately-flavored beverage which may save us many
heavy doctors’ bills. It is by the judicious use ot such
articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built
up until strong enough to resist every tendency to dis
ease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around

—BOLD BY— ALL DRUGGISTS,
DR. I FRANZ,
The Well-known Specialist,
and proprietor and consulting pnys cian of the New Fork
Botanic Medical Institute, 513 3d ave.. New York City, haa
made the treatment of PRIVATE DISEASES of MEN a
special study and practice for many years. Over 4,000
cases treated yearly. Recent cases of private diseases
cured in a short time. Ulcers, Humors and Blotches oa
Face or Body cured without giving mercury or other
poisons. Mercury is the curse of the human race. Your
children will suffer from its effects. Avoid it as you would
any deodlj/ drug. These diseases are being cured at this
Institute without mercury. ,
Dr. FRANZ is a graduate of a regular Medical College,
is well known over the 'United States and Canada by
thousands of old and young men he has cured, and it is a
well-known fact that lor years he himself to
the study and treatment of Sexual and Chronic Diseases,
thus giving him advantages that few posses?. Dr.
FRANZ addresses himself particularly to those who have
already tried various physiciansand remedies from whom,
they have received no benefits, and who, in fact, have
done them more harm than good. By a combination of
remedies of great curative power, Dr. FRANZ has so
arranged his treatment that it will ab rd not only im-
Vn’iMO RJIEM mediate relief, but permanent cures.
I UUnu hllli Who are suffering from the effects of
youthful indiscretions showing some of tne following
symptoms: Nervous and Piiy ical Debility,
Impotence (incapacity), Lost Manhood,
Abuses of tlie System, Exhausted Vitality,
Confusion of Ideas, Dull and Loss of Bril
liancy to the Eye, Aversion to Society, De
spondency, Pimples on the Face, Loss of
Energy, and Frequency of Urinating. Yot*
mav be in the first stage, but remem’, er you are fast ap
proaching the last. Many a bright >.n i naturally gifted
young man, endowed with genius, has permitted his caso
to run on until remorse racked Ins utellect. and finally
death claimed its victim. So lay a-de your pride, and
consult one who thoroughly understands your ailment,
and who will know your case, and fin i permanent relief
for an ailment that has m ide day a drudgery and night
hide.ms. Thousands upon thousands of men, in good
standing in the social world, are to-d -y suffering from the
fruits of their doings, the seeds of which were sown during
moments of thoughtlessness. Young man. turn and gaze
upon thy companion, or seek the mirror lor proofs ta>
substantiate this fact; so embrace the opportunity and
enjoy life and happiness longer. It you tan c ; aim to be a
man. act vour part manly. Do not console yourself wita
the thought that Nature will help itself, tor in doing sd
you not only fan the flame, but wreck Nature and your- .
self. “ Little ills germinate fatal diseases.”
