CONTINU ED
THE ORGANIZED
CRIMINALS OF N. Y.
FROM PAGE ONE.

We paid particular attention to
disorderly houses and saloon en-.
terprises, and we found a great
number of Tammany workers en-
gagged in running, these markets of
prostitution.
After our men had raided the
vilest enterprise in the city, a
market for unnatural crime kept
by an Italian named Humbert
Fugazy in Blocker street, William
Caffrey, the state senator, appear
ed as .Fugazy's counsel in one of
the customary suits of oppression
that followed our raids on this type
of place.
About the lower Bowery and
Chatham square there was a group
of dives which had become histori-
cal institutions. Last winter we
discovered we could prosecute
these places in the civil courts, and
take away the privilege of selling
liquor for an entire year.
We were able in this way to
start an entirely new legal game.
The first test case was against
Paddy" Mullins place at 6 Mott
street. He was convicted. From
that time on panic reigned in the
district.
1t was threatened that we would
be thrown out Immediately by the
leaders.

ECZEMA CURED SIMPLE WAY
No More Dosing the Stomaeh-Cure
 the Skin Through the Skin.

When you have a scratch on your hand, you wash it out and cleanse it, and then the skin cures itself
 The best skin specialists today are agreed that the only way to cure the skin is through the skin. For statis- tics show that nearly all eczema sui ferers are perfectly healthy in all other ways except as to their skin. And if the eczema patients were really suffer ing from an internal malady. the en- tire body and not only the skin would be diseased.
 You can prove immediately the re lief of a true skin cure by using oil of wintergreen as compounded in D. D. D. Prescription. This liquid kills the dis ease germs, while toning up the healthy part of the skin.
 We have now handled this meritori- ous and thoroughly scientific remedy for so long and have seen its reliable results so many times that we freely express our confidence. Elvey & Hu- lett, druggists.
