FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To be a BenefactOr To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
piciOn attached 10 anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
oveffiows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment il would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in remedy
which will restore them 20 health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence OF
untold misery. AS the remedy in
question was the result OF many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in reStor-
ing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to II. g. Olds. Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use Of the medicine by giving
it trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as TO where in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
Olds can afford to give away his dis
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you same to write him.

Drunken Fellow Sends Two Cops on
Wild Goose Chase and Pays For it.
New Orleans, Feb. 17.-PatroImen
Klundy and Lamon were standing at
the corner of Gravier and Baronne
streets about IL o'clock when man
rushed up to them and complained
that he had been beaten and robbed
by highwaymen not many minutes be-
fore. The cops, looked alive in q
moment and wanted to know where
the assault occurred.
Walsh said that he encountered the
men at the corner of Gravier and Ca
rOndelet and that they beat him over
the head with gas pipes. He had the
appearance of having been vigorously
assaulted by some one. The officers
wanted Walsh to go with them to the
alleged hold up but he refused. He
''SaSSed" the police and finally injected
some ''cuss words" into his remarks.
Walsh was placed under arrest and
attempted to assault officer LamOn.
He was brought to his senses, by
whack on the head with the officers
locust.
Walsh was taken to the First Pre-
cinct station, where he was properly
charged. The policemen learned that
he had been in Jules restaurant on
Gravier street, near Carondelet, and
there attempted to assault the head
waiter. He received 4 sound thrashing
and was then thrown out. Previous to
that he entered Icons eating cafe, on
st. Charles street, near Gravier, and
broke u large mirror.

When the striped pole or sign, which now
indicates barber shop was employed to let
the public know where cupping or blood
letting was professionally performed, close
SLAVES were daily occurrence-not the easy
removal of the hirsute or hairy adornment
of the head and face, but close shayes from
entering eternity. More than one unfortu-
nate entered the barber-surgeon' doorway
TO leave it corpse or so weak that weeks
were required to get the victim of NAL
practice on his feet. Blood-letting was used
for everything from heartache to a corn, and
a pain IN the loins was invariably treated
with two incisions-one on each side of the
spine. Like plasters and liniments, these
helped from the counter irritation they
created, and we may presume that had Mr..
I. M. Townsend, head barber in Bliss
barber shop, in the Bank Building, Lebanon,
N. H., lived in the time of George Ill, of
England in place Of taking the course he did
a short time ago with his back, blood
letting would have been resorted to. Read
how he treated his trouble "My kidneys

though he rarely displays them, sis an
incomprehensible thing to most Euro
peans. and source of much unholy
mirth. 1t is true that the display of a
crest or a coat of arms TO which the
possessor is entitled will insure a GER
tain degree of respect for the man who
is entitled 10 it, but il is also true that
the use of such an aristocratic device
by one to whom ii has not descended
by hereditary right calls out only ridi-
cule. Notwithstanding this, and the
fact that at the time of the revolution
there were only few hundred persons
in the IS colonies entitled TO armorial
bearings, there are now in the United
States hundreds of thousands who dis
play them. Among all these imitators
the descendants of the few who were
originally entitled to them are a handful
only, comparatively speaking, while
the designs are often appropriated bodi-
ly from the arms of aristocratie foreign
families and still more often made up
TO suit by jewellers and stationers, with
out the slightest reference to the sig

So great has the craze for armorial
bearings become, in fact, that the lead
ing jewelers. in New York. Philadel-
phia, Boston, Baltimore, etc, report
that no matter how much other
branches of their business may flag, the
department devoted to the engraving
of crests and coats of arms, is always
overburdened with orders.
Indeed. on several occasions. the ques-
ton has been raised in congress whether
il would not be advisable to compel all
those who use arms to register them

its enactment would have constituted
recognition of what is. after all, tie

thoroughly un-American institution, an
