How Different
Men Are To-Day.

I In the olden times, SO we
are told, men spent most of
their time fighting for coun-
try or for love of the primi-
tive maid, whose beauty was
of that womanly sort which
inspired in the heart of her
manly lover such a passion
that he thoughtit a pleasure
to die for her.
In those days men were
not faint-hearted nor weak
nerved.
They did not know of the
ruinous habits which are re-
sponsible for our weak, de-
bilitated men Of to-day-the
habits which drain from the
body all the energy, ambi-
ton and courage of manhood.
Excesses, dissipations,
youthful folly-all tend to
wear out manhood Being
contrary to the laws Of ma
ture, they sap the, very foun-
dation, the heart of manly
vigor, and leave only the
shell, the nerve1ess, empty
frame-empty of the life and
energy of manhood.
''I would give all I possess
in this world to be able to
live my life for the past ten
years over again." wrote a
correspondent to DR.. Sanden
recently. He expresses the
feelings of many sufferers
who come to DR.. Sanden for
aid. And do they come in
vain?
81 owe my very existence
to your wonderful belt, ~ says
II. w. Nunes, Niles, Ala
media County, Cal.
DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt
aids weak men by giving
them new vital power. Elec-
tricity soaking into the
nerves for three to six hours
every day or night fills them
with vitality and restores
manhood.
"Your Electric Belt cured
me of Seminal Weakness two
years ago, and l am still
praising it," J. M. Hubbard,
Westminster, Orange Coun-
ty, Cal.
DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt
is the only one made that is
suited to the treatment of
weak men. 1t is applied in
a special manner for this spe-
cial trouble, and it gives an
energy to the weak parts
within a few days. 1t talways
causes a permanent restora-
ton of vital power in three
months.
If you are weak send for
DR.. Sanden's book, "Three
Glasses of Men, " free, sealed,
without marks. Consulta-
ton free.

Among this list are the names of many
who have heretofore been known as pro-
nounced non-church goers, but now that
these and all the others have been i'm
mersed and become members of the Chris
tlan church the people of Hanford are
wondering what will happen next.
Rev. Joseph S. Black, pastor of the
Christian church, is quite gratifed at the
work done, and believes that EVANGELIST
Martin will soon increase the new men,
bership list to over 200. The trustees of
the church are Manford Ludlow, B. x.
Thornton, J. G. Rice and A. B. Cromwell.
The meeting tonight was exceptionally
well attended, and there is everything to
indicate that the interest of Hanford
people in the revival movement will not
soon die out.

The most significant thing under
the surface IN the senate is the fright
OF the republican leaders. They are
actually becoming afraid OF Mr. Cleve.

the business men and the money pow

naucial question. Mr.. German, who
hates Mr. Cleveland, but does not per
NIT his hatred to blind his Judgment,
has already warned the republicans
that uni IS they look sharp the presi-
dent will cut the ground out from
under them. "You must dosomething
or the old man vii beat you yet" said
Mr. German the q or day to num-

This 9 II = has had its effect The

it might not create such bad impres,

A VALUABLE RELIC.


BRISTOL, Tenn, Jan, IL in the
back Of an old mirror, at the home OF
J. +. Weaver, in the Twenty-frst dis
trict OF Sullivan county, was found,
the other day, an old, dingy newspa
per, which proved to be a copy of the
Knoxville Gazette, of the issue of Jan.
uary 80, 1892.
Among the items of interest which
it contains are, veto message by
George Washington, the first presdent
of the republic, and proclamation by
William Blount, the first governor oI
Tennessee.
The bill which Washington vetoed
was one passed by congress, appor
tion ng the number of representatives
in the house, which bill provided that
each congressman should represent
10000 people.
