Another Fraud Exposed.

Government authorities are investigating a case which looks on its face to be clearly a fraudulent game, but yet it is so carefully guarded (jus to make conviction difficult. The accused advertised to cure deafness for $18.50, positively without fail. Those who forwarded the amount received exactly 2.000 pills, with profoundly explicit directions to take ohe each day, and on no account to miss a day else the charm would be broken and it would be necessary to stabt over again, including another $18.50. Thus it is required more than five years to get at the truth of the doctor’s claims, and meantime he will have got rich if enough suckers take his bait.
