The man who accomplished this "a II
was Mr., Thomas Curtin, tho prc SOM Stipcrs
intendent OF City Police OF Buffalo, n. Y.
Mr. Curtin il man who is know by
every prominent detective aud policeman
In America, and he stands pre- .eminently
I'm the front rank Of his profession. Quiet
and gentlcmauly in appearance and man
hers, he possesses courage, comb ned
with marked physical powers that make
bin the terror OF evl.doers and the pride
Of law.abiding citizens. Few people can
realize, however, the trials, exposures, and
even privation D., TO which the members Of
every municipal police and fire depart
ment are exposed. Compellei to b, on
duty at uncertain hours, subjected 90 the
most Indictment weather, ANA of en- neces-
stated by tine nature of their duties to pro-
tracted undertakings, they endure a merry.
Gus and physical strain that is terrible.
Such was the experience OF Mr.. Curtin in
former days; AMI IL Is not surprising that
he FOUND himself suffering rom mys -eri-
GUS physical trouble. In relat NJ lis cx-
perience to representative OF this paper,
he said.
"a times when was on duty would
feel an unaccOuntable WEAKNESS and lack
of energy. My appetite was also unce tain,

number of men i'm the police aud fire de-

afflicted as j was, and | doubt not there
are to-day hundreds similarly troubled
| who, like myself, did not know the cause,
or really what allied them"

THAT is just what want to tell you, for
j believe IL NAV b of great service TO many
others in my pro ession, who may possibly

IN ,nded IL everywhere, and never knew q

wonderful ~ valuable and at the same time
en- iroly harm less remedy. ldccd. / see

$50 you experience little difficulty I'm the
execution OF your duties now, Mr.. Curtin,
d. you"
"Nons whatever. Our department was
never in better condition than at pres
emit"
And do you never have any fear of
some of the dcsperadoes whom you have
been the means of bringing to iuStice"'
Not in the least. Such men do not try
I
not the courage, but oltcIer because they
] respect an Cilicer VINO does his duty"
/ The policemen, hremen, lcttcr-carriers
and other public employees i'm this country
have particularly trying life. When,
therefore, simple and pure remedy that
can restore aud sus ain the health of all
such men IS found, 1t should be cause for
great con. ratulation, especially when
recommended by such men as Supcrintend
ent Thomas Curtin, Of Buffalo.
