STEALS MONEY
FROM A FRIEND

On a charge of stealing $3.50 from
an acquaintance while visiting IN
this city John Rasahky is in Jail in
Richmond county, Staten Island, to
await requisition papers. He was
Jailed through the efforts OF Chief
Of Police Purke and Detective Ser
geants HUFF and Long. John Voll-
ner, of SIT State street, charges
that Rasahky took the money from
a pocket in his clothes several weeks
ago. He had formerly boarded with
Vollner and since removing to
Mount Loretta, S. l., had often come
to visit him.
Rasahky was trusted about the
premises to such an extent that he
was told where to find the key. He
often entered the house at SIT State
street when the occupants were not
at home, sat down and ate. On one
occasion he found the money and
failed to return, 1t is declared. The
police trailed him to Mount Loretta,
where he worked. He Is being held
for thirty days, while an effort Is be-
ing made to have him brought here
for trial.

aher particulars? have heard it said
many times that such testimonials are
fakes; that they are either absolutely
fictitious or else the people have been
hired to write them. have been in.
clined to write you a great many
times but these stories about patent
medicine advertisements have dis
'couraged me from doing so. l am
'afilicted with oatarrh and should like
very much to find a remedy such az
your article describes"
TO the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam II do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remedies.
There has been so much said against
them, SO much controversy concern
ing them. l am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence in
them.
wish you would write Mrs. Boyle,
sas one woman to another. / wish you
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such a testimonial,
whether her testimonial represents
tne truth.
hope you will remember that she
is housewife. like yourself. that she
has something to do besides write
letters, that she Is woman of mod
crate r.eans and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. ] hope you will enclose
stamp so she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is a very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh | would be very glad
to hear of the result. can assure you
that no use will be made of your let
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which Is my
reason for doing so, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic ca
tarrh who take Peruna. There is no
doubt about that. Some surprising
recoveries are reported almost daily.
