No greater proof OF the wonderful efh-
cacy and great curative powers of DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
among the sick and suffering is possible
than the enthusiastic and glowing reports
of the Associated Charities concerning
this wonderful medicine and the marvellous
cures it is everywhere effecting.
Mr.. Geo. S. Wilson, General Secretary
of Associated Charities of Washington
and the District of Columbia, and the
best known man in the country in the field
of charitable work, reports
"In our work of the Associated Chari.
ties of Washington, we have dispensed
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy among the sick.
"It has been gladly received and with
very gratifying results. In one case es-
pecially of nervous debility the report is
very encouraging. She was also afflicted
with dyspepsia.
81 am pleased to say that all reports
that have come to my knowledge have
been highly favorable.

Secretaries Of Associated Charities Say
Dr.. Greene'S NGvura Cures.
he Associated Charities Thus Place DR..
Greene's Nervura Above All Other Rem
edies to Cure Real Blessing to the
Sick and Suffering The Remedy Which
Will Surely Make You Strong and Well.

More enthusiastic still is the report of
Miriam f. Witherspoon, General Secretary
of the Associated Charities of Worcester
Mass. (35 Pearl STREET., regarding the
great value, as a medicine, of DIR. Greene S
Nervura and its marvellous powers to cure
disease and restore health to the people.
She says:-
"In my work as General Secretary of
Charities in Worcester, / have distributed
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
lremedy among the needy poor and sick,
and it has been received with thankfulness
and great joy. One poor woman said she
had been trying to save money enough TO
buy bottle, and when she found was to
give her one, her JOY and gratitude were
great.
"In all cases the results have been as
we hoped for, building up the feeble, ner-
Ivous, overworked and underfed people
who have in general no helper. As far as
Imy experience goes it has been real
blessing. M. F. WITHERsPooN,
Gen'l Sec'y Associated Charities. :"
In these days when so many ordinary
preparations are advertised, it is a real
benefcence to the weak, weary, nerve
shattered, tired and worn out sick and suf-
fering to know positively and to be shown
beyond any doubt or question that this
one grand remedy, DR.. 'Greene's Nervura,
does surely and certainly cure the sick
that it is the best remedy possible to take,
either if one is only little out of order,
nervous and run down, or if suffering
from more serious affections like nervous
prostration, low blood and vitality, rheu-
matisnl, paralysis, stomach troubles, liver
and kidney complaint, female weakness or
other weakening and debilitating disease.
In these reports of the Associated Chari-
ties is abundant proof that DIR. Greene's
Nervura does cure the people, that ii
makes those who use it strong and we'll,
and that it will cure you if you will take
lit. Don't fail to try it now.
Remember that in all cases you can

viction with the desperation of a dying
man to a straw. To be sure he had to
sleep on the rug with one eye open,
and be ever ready to dodge out, but
there was the consolation that many of
the people who passed were kind, and
he had only to fear one man. The days
wore on. Wednesday he awoke to find
big man creeping stealthily toward
him carrying a rope. A great fear
came over him. With a startled whine
he started to run, but before he could
escape the rope was about his neck,
choking him painfully.
A moment later the forlorn dog was
slowly following the dog officer across
the common, and ere the sun had set
his body rested in an unknown grave,
and his soul has passed on to the dog
heaven, where there is plenty of
food for all dogs warm, dry beds in
abundance and unkind people and
wicked boys are unknown.

A MUCH-WANTED MAN.
Inspector o'Day Finds Evidence Against
John F. Rogers.

Inspector ODay of station has been
putting in a little time the past few
days gathering evidence that will serve
to identify the man arrested at the
Worcester Polytechnic Institute last
Wednesday, and from what he has
picked up thus far he feels that he has
very much wanted man.
Inspector O'Day went to Boston
Thursday, and in company with Inspector
McGarr Of that city called upon a wom-
an who, although reticent at first, told
them about all they wished to know be-
fore they had finished with her. Prof
Smith, assistant professor of chemistry
/ in Brown University, came to Worces-
ter Friday and positively identifies Rog-
ers as the man who operated at Brown
last Monday.
On that day a platinum bowl, valued
at $50, was stolen from the laboratories
of the university by man whom the
officers have every reason to suppose Is
the one held here. The bowl was shipped
from Providence, consigned to Fred
Rogers, from J. Rogers.
When the young man first called at
the Tech, he said that he was the son
of President Bliss of the Boston and
Albany ,ailroad, bnt when taken to the
police station he gave the name of John
f. Rogers.
Other aliases under which the man is
believed to have Travelled are Daniel G.
Worthington, Daniel G. Wilson, Jack
Rogers, Fred Rogers and Daniel G. Fo-
ley.
On Jan. 4, 1897, a man answering the
description of Rogers was in Hartford
selling bogus tickets for a charity ball,
and there is reason for connecting him
with similar operations in Boston.
There is a warrant out for the man in
Boston, under the name Of Foley, for
robbing a house. Inspector O'Day found
a letter in the possession of the Boston
woman, from Foley, in which he states
that he has taken trick" in New Ha-
ven and has gone to New York to dis
pose of the goods.
Within the last ten days, property to
the value of $100 has been taken from
the Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy by man answering the description
of Rogers Tufts College, Harvard Uni
versity, Colby and several other institu-
tions have suffered losses, in which the
articles have mysteriouSly disappeared.
The man who took the property from
the Massachusetts Institute pretended
that he was interested in laboratory
work and was visiting the institute for
the purpose Of gaining information.
Inspector O'Day has also found out
that the man was guilty of obtaining
money under false pretenses, as in a
room occupied by Rogers in Boston was
found a book, showing pledges for the
benefit of the Little Wanderers Home
to the amount of $3.50.

WON'T PAH THIS HOSPITAL MONEY!.

Comptroller Holds It AGainst OvsFdrafts By
the Hospital FOR Ruptursd and Crippled.
Comptroller Coler gave hearing yesterday to
tho officers OF tho Society for the Relief Of tho
Ruptured and Crippled on the complaint made
against that institution BY the Commissioners
of Accounts. The Commissioners said in re-
cent report to the Mayor that the hospital had
drawn SAC. 900 from tho city for the care OF nom
resident patients. The same complaint was
made by Mayor Strong's Commissioners of Ac-
counts and Comptroller Fitch refused to pay
tho bills rendered in 1897. Comptroller Coler
also refused to pay the bills until the society
could present some good reason why the amount
which the Commissioners of Accounts alleged
had been wrongfuly paid to it should not be de-
Quoted from the appropriations for 1897
and 1893.
Edward W. Sheldon. attorney for the society,
argued that the present administration should
not go back and question tho policy OF former
one. Tho money paid to tho society for the
care OF non.resid ents had been received In good
faith, without any intention to defraud the city,
The Comptroller said that IL he found that
money had been wrongfully paid out in the past
he had the right TO withhold the amount from
the funds now In his hands. He said he would
hold up the sociolys appropriation until or
dered TO pay il by the courts
