One morning several years ago, Just -
the dull gray light was beginning to show
itself in the East, small band of men
might have been seen deployed about o
house on Ferry street, in Buffalo. There
was nothing special either In the dress or
appearance Of the men to indicate their In
tention, but It was plain that they had
business of importance on hand. Sudden
~ man appeared ut one OF the windows,
took in the situation at glance, and,
swinging himself outward with wonderful
uuickness, scaled the roof of the house.
This man was Tom Ballard, the notorious
counterfeiter; and, armed to the teeth and
fully RAILING his he dsed JUS
the officers, knowing the desperate charac-
ter Of the man, proposed to shoot him un.
CT he was killed, but one OF the number
promptly protested, and declared that IL
his brother officers would assist him to as
cend he would capture the man alive. Ac-
gerous task and succeeded in bringing his
prisoner to the ground in safety. 81
The man who accomplished this task
was Mr.. Thomas Curtin, the present Super.
intendent of City Police OF Buffalo, N. Y.

In the front rank of his profession. Quiet
and gentlemanly in appearances and man
ners, he possesses courage, combined
with marked physical powers, that make
him the terror OF eyildoers and the pride
of law-abiding citizens. Few people can
realize, however. the trials, exposures, and
even privations, to which the members Of
every municipal police and Ere, depart

"None whatever. Our department. was

"And do you never have any fear OF

mot In the least. Such men do not try

The policemen, firemen, letter-carriers
and other public employees in this country
have particularly trying life. When
therefore, q simple and pure remedy that
can restore and sustain the health of al
such mon is found, it should be cause for
great congratulation, especially wher
recommended by such mon as Superintend
