$15,000,000 FORGED
1911 Forgery Crimes Have Caused Big Loss. NEW YORK. Jan. 4. So widespread bas become tbe crime of forgery in tbe United States and so great have been the losses within the laBt twelve months, that companies issuing forgery insurance have adopted the most stringent restrictions in Issuing policies. While no accurate account of the losses bas been kept, Albert S. Osborn, an expert on handwriting, estimates that they totaled $15,000,000 through checks and drafts alone during 1911. The chief new restriction now demanded is that tbe bank Insured shall not open an account witn any one not known personally to an officer or director or wbomse integrity is not vouched for by a depositor. A favorite method of forgers recently has been to deposit a bogus check, apparently certified, on a bank remote from the depository and withdraw the money two or three days later, or before it is discovered to be a forgery.

Slavery In Scottish Mines. Slavery lingered in tbe Scottish mine until tbe very eve of tbe nineteenth centnry. Mr. Hackwood. in "Tbe Good Old Times." draws a picture of the Scottish miner's unhappy lot in the past: "From about tbe year 1445 until 1775 the miners of Scotland were bought and sold with the soiL It is stated In old chronicles that bloodhounds were kept to trace them if they left their employment and to aid In bringing them back. By statute law miners were bound to work all days In tbe year except Pascbal and Yule, and if they did not work they were to be 'whipped in the bodies for tbe glory of God and for tbe good of their masters.' Not until 1775 was the first law passed in an attempt to better this state of things, but it was 1799 ere tbe law gave tbe working miner of Scotland his complete freedom." London Chronicle.

I Am Willing To Prove I Can Cure You To That End I Am Giving Away $10,000 Worth of Medicine
In order to show beyond all doubt that I am in possession of a medicine that will cure kidney trouble, bladder trouble or rheumatism, I will this year give way ten thousand dollars' worth of thi medicine, and anyone suffering from these diseases can get a box of it absolutely free. All that is necessa.y Is to send me your address. I don't mean that you are to use a part of it or alt of it and pay me if cured, f mean that I will send vou a box of this medicine absolutely free of charge, a gift from roe to the Unc Acid sufferers of the world, so I can show them where and how they may be cured. I will not expect payment for this free medicine, nor would 1 accept it now or later if you sent it. It is free in the real meaning ot the word. For twenty-fire years a quarter of a century I have been trying to convince the public that I have something genuine, something better than others have for the cure of stubborn, chronic rheumatism, for torturing kidney backache, for annoying calls to urinate. But it is hard to convince people they try a few things unsuccessfully and give up all hope and refuse to listen to anyone thereafter. Happily, I am in a position now to demonstrate to sufferers at my own expense that I have a medicine that cures these diseases. I don't ask them to spend any money to rind ut; I don't ask them to believe me, nor even to take the word of reliable people, but all I ask is that they allow roe to send them the medicine at my own cost. That is surely fair. To this end I have set aside ten thousand dollars, which will be used to compound my medicine. Much of It is ready now to be sent out. all of it fresh and standard. There wil' be enough for all sufferers, though there b thousands of them. And anyone who rjeeds it can get some of it free. But in order that I shall know that you have a disease for which this medicine is intended. I ask you to send me some of your leading symptoms. If you have any of the symptoms in the list printed here you need my medicine and if you will write me I will gladly send you a box of it free with full directions for your use. Look the symptoms over, see which symptoms you have, then write me about as follows: "Dear Dr., I notice symptoms number" here put down the numbers, give your age, full address, and send it to me. My address is Dr. T. Frank Lynott. 5042 Occidental Bldg.. Chicago, 111. The ten thousand dollars I am spending for the compounding of my medicine is only a part of the money I am devoting to this cause, for the package of medicine I send you will be fully prepaid at my expense. From any standpoint you view it, VOU incur no expense or obligation. Just tell others who you know are suffering who sent you the medicine that cured you. I am promising to give away ten thousand dollars' worth of medicine, and I will do that; I am promising to send any sufferer who writes me a box of this medicine and full directions free of charge, and I will do that.
DR. T. FRANK LYNOTT

Vou will be better in every way for having taken it There is not an ingredient that can injure; not one but will benefit. All that I ask is that you use it yourself so that you may be personally convinced. Owing to the large number of requests. I have had ten thousand more copies of my medical book printed. This book is new and up to date and contains complete descriptions, symptoms, causes, effects and cures of kidney, bladder and rheumatic diseases. All who write for the free medicine will be sent a cony of this grand illustrated medical book the largest ever written on these diseases for free and general distribution.
