In passing sentence recently a
prominent Criminal Judge expressed
the opinion that no other calling was
surrounded with so many hard7hipS
as that ola police officer. This is un-
true. In the discharge
of their duties these guardians of the
public peace and safety are not only
subjected to personal insult and
abuse, but exposed to hardships and
dangers unseen: A case in point is
that of Sergeant G. d. French, of the
Baltimore Police Force, who in De
cember, 1876, had the misfortune to
break his ankle, which upon being
reset, became so severely swollen and
rheumatic as to prevent his walking
without the greatest pain, and con-
tinued so for July nine months. In
reciting the facts Of the case, Sergeant
French says: "AlI remedies which
were recommended / tried without
effect, until securing Keller's Roman
Liniment, which relieved the pains
almost instantly, and l was enabled
to walk by its use with comparative
ease. This Liniment also cured my
wife of Rhematism in the shoulder"
