Tuesday, Feb. 2O.-Yesterday Tom

to Jail few days ago to await re-
QUESTION upon Gov. Cullom, before he
could be taken oyer the river, where he
was wanted for burglary, signifed his
willingness to go oyer without papers, and
accordingly Chief Martens came over after
him. After being released and when
about to get into hack Cogan made a
sudden dash down Third avenue and then
struck for the alley in the rear of the
United Presbyterian church. He was
followed by Chief Martens, Turnkey.

corner of Fourth avenue and 18th street,
as he was attempting to scale fence, he

Every mement of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor of DIR. schencks Pulmonic Syrup, as q cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretensions of any other
medicine. See DR.. schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates of many persons of the highest
spectability, who have bee1 restored to health af
ter being pronounced incurabe by physicians
of acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences
will show; but the cure is often promoted by the
employment of two other remedies which d..
Schenck provides for the purpose. These addi-
tional remedies are Schencks Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these medi-
cines, according to directions, Dr. Schenck certi-
les that most anv case of Consumption may be
cured.
