III anybody has ever used the thorough and
scientific course of treatment recommended by
the proprietor of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
for the cure of Catarrh, and has not been per-
fectly cured. the proprietor, DIR. X. V. Pierce
would like TO hear from tn at person, and by ad-
dressing him, at the Worlds Dispensary Buff
falo, \. Y, such person, If there be one, will
hear OF something to his or her advantage. as
the Doctor is in earnest when he offers 500 re-
ward for case OF Catarrh which he cannot
cure, and is Perfectly able to pay it il he fails
ID a single case, as any one may ascertain upon
inquiry. The thorough course of treatment
Ieierred TO and recommended by DIR. Pierce
consists in the use of DIR. Ssges Cstsrrh Rem
edy with DR.. Pierce's Nasal Douche, which is
he only means by which the fiuid can be car
ried high up and applied to all parts of the
nasal passages and the chambers connected
herewith, in which ulcers exist, and from
which the discharge proceeds. In addition TO
this thorough application of the Remedy. which
should always be used warm, DIR. lerce's Col
den Medical Discovery should be taken
earnestly as constitutional treatment, without
which few cases can be cured, rs the disease is
always constitutional, and must be treated ac-
cordingly. This treatment has no unpleasant
features about 1t, and has the advantage of
never driving the disease to the lungs, as there
Is danger OF doing by the use of strong, irritAt-
ing snuffs or poisonous solutions

absent several days. She stated that she had
traced her to two of these restaurants where
rooms for ladies are kept up stairs, also to
cigar shop, recently kept by a woman OF
bad repute, on 18th street, South Washingto
1t was lately broken up by the police, and the
OF the city. Further than this the dis
tressed mother could say nothing, only that
her daughter had been seen on the streets
at night in company with bad people.
Detectives McDevitt, Miller, McElfresh and
Sargent started out last night in search, and
after going the rounds of the places ind Gated,
Messrs. Sargent and McElfresh came across
another young girl, about tie same age, whose
mother had likewise been to police headuuar-
quarters. Not long afterwards Messrs. Medley
ut and Miller came Il with the first object of
their search, whom they found late last night
IN ranch kept by an ole woman named John
son, who was also taken into custody. They
were furnished with lodgings last night, and
this morning the widow mother came to see her
daughter, and set about making preparations
herd. in Baltimore, for which place she left In
the ii o'clock train this morning. Later in the
day Mr.. McDeyitt obtained a permit from
Father Kane, and accompanied the other one to
the same institution, where Ii is hoped both
may be induced to reform and live useful lives.
