FREE TO EVERY MAN
The Method of a Great Treat
ment for Weakness of Men
Which Cured Him After Everything
Else Failed

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away
with nervous weakness, the mental
forebodings are ten times worse than
the most severe pain. There is no let up
to the mental suffering day or night.
Sleep is almost impossible and under
such a strain men are scarcely respons-
ible for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until 1t was a
question whether he had not better take
a dose of poison and thus end all his
troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of a combi-
nation of medicines that not only COM
pletely restored the general health. but
enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to
natural size and vigor, and he now de-
clares that any man who will take the
trouble to send his name and address
may have the method of this wonderful
treatment free. Now, when say free
I mean absolutely without cost, because
I want every weakened man to get the
benefit Of my experience.
am not philanthropist nor do pose
as an enthusiast, but there are thou
sands of men suffering the mental tor
lures of weakened manhood who would
be cured at once could they but get such
a remedy as the one that cured me. Do
not try to study out how I can afford to
nav the few postage stamps necessary
to mail the information. but send for 1t,
and learn that there are few things on
earth that although they cost nothing to
get they are worth a fortune to some
men and mean a lifetime of happiness
to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater,
box Poll, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the in
formation will be mailed in plain
sealed envelope.

Stricken ST, Louis.

All the nation Is in sympathy today with
the stricken citizens of St. Louis. the suf-
ferers from one Of the fiercest storms that
has ever swept across the face Of this
country. There have in the past been
many appalling disasters. by fire. wind
and flood, accompanied by great loss OF
life and destruction of property, but never
before within the records of history has
such frightful visitation been known in
America The people of the east. COM
paratively free by reason of their geo
graphical surroundings from cyclonic dis
turbances. probably realize but family the
awful destruction that such a storm causes,
the almost instantaneous crushing out Of
lives and millions OF dollars in value.
There IS apparently nothing in the theory
entertained by some that the works of
civilization, the concentrat ton of individuals
into cities and the construction of great
buildings and the establishment of marvels
of electrical and mechanical ingenuity are
to be counted positive factors in the
development of these destructive storms.
Men of science declare that such disturb
ances of the air are no more frequent now
than heretofore but that, naturally, as the
waste spaces of the land in the cyclone
belt are filled up and become inhabited the
loss of life and property grows, because
there is no dimunition in the average num-
Der Of Cy clones and tornadoes. 1t is curious
to note that one Of the best informed men
of the weather bureau made a prophecy
only last week that it was but Ques-
ton Of a short time when one of these
terrible cyclones would form in the vicinity
OF great center of population and cause
untold suffering and destruction. His
words have come true all too soon.
As the news from the stricken city be-
comes more plainly known and the details
of the devastation are more accurately
spread through the country sympathetic
thrill is felt in every section. and doubtless
before many hours the generous American
nation will anticipate a call for help for
the Mound City. The damage in dollars
Will probably never be known and there
is a fear that no man will ever be able to
say with accuracy how many lives were
lost during the brief but violent progress
OF the storm across the Mississippi.
Enough. however. is now certain to fndi-
cate that the catastrophe is the worst
known in modern times. 1t is a national
grief, a cause for universal sorrow.

People who are interested in the prohibit
ton cause may be excused for wondering
just now what Is the matter with the dele
gates to the national prohibition conven
ton, in session at Pittsburg. According to
the understanding of the general public the
object of prohibitionists everywhere is to
bring about legislation which will render
impossible the manufacture or sale of all
manner of intoxicating liquors. Up to this
time the prohibitionists who are delegates
seem ito have lost sight entirely of the
principles to which they pledged allegiance;
they have subdivided themselves and are
hard at work on the financial problem
Some of the delegates favor free silver
while others are just as vigorous in their
support of sound money. The evils of un-
limited indulgence in strong drink appear
to have a secondary place in the mind of
the convention.
