FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
 Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings 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 responsible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness, until it 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 combination of medi- cines that not only completely rsetored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares 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, mean absolutely without cost, because want every weak ened man to get the benerit of my expe- rience.
 I am not philanthropist, nor dc pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mail the information, but send for it and learn that there are a 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 1S1, Kalamazoo, Mich., and the informa- ton will be mailed in plain sealed en- velope. 8-30-su&wed-tf

FINANCIAL.

Cincinnati, Dec. 29.-A petition was filed last evening by members of the we'll known firm of Duhme 6 Co.,, jewellers, for dissolution and receiver for the firm. They say the company is insolvent and unable to meet its maturing debts.
 Seattle Wash, Dec 29.-The B. E. Stet- son and Post Saw Mill company closed down its plant yesterday, throwing sev enty men out of employment. The over- production of lumber, together with the recent failures of eastern banks, affecting number of western lumber firms, caused the suspension.
 Auburn, Me, Dec. 29-A petition for receiver for the American Trust and Banking company has been filed. A di- rector says: "The money is coming in such amounts that we are encouraged to think our doors can again be opened for business. The company has little bor- rowed money, and the directors believe that western investments will prove all right
 lumbia National bank of this city closed it's doors this morning, owing to inability to make collections. It is a comparative ly new bank, having been organized about five years ago, with ex-State Treas urer Charles Kittelson as it's president,
 
 cashier, which positions they still hold. It's capital on December IS was about $200,000, with surplus of about $6,000. It has never been profitable. Deputy Comptroller of the Currency George W. Coffin, who happened to be in the city, took charge of the bank. Its officers claim that they will be able to pay de- positors in full.
 Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 29.-The Washington bank of this city has closed it's doors. It's last statement, Decem- Der IT, shows loans and discounts of $50O,00O and deposits of $54O0OO. Its cap ital is $10O,000, and its surplus $13000 A. c. Haugan, it's president, is city treasur- CT, and it is likely that quite an amount of city funds will be locked up by the failure. It's business Is largely with working people. The officers claim that they will be able to pay them in full.
 Baltimore, Md, Dec. 29.-Berger & Co.,, leading retail dry goods merchants of South Baltimore, made an assignment to- day. Liabilities $50,000; assets about the same. Pressure of creditors and slow collections caused the suspension.
 Sioux City, Ia., Dec. 29.-On application of w. T. Honsinger, vice-president and large shareholder in the Farmers Trust company of this place. G. H. Hollister was today appointed receiver for that institution. TigIhtness of the money market rendered it impossible for the company to meet it's debentures when the makers of notes on which they were secured defaulted payments. Re- ceiver Hollister estimates assets $23S,- 900 and liabilities at $135,000.

We know that Cod-liver

We know that Cod-liver Oil is a fat-forming food because takers of it gain rap idly in weight under its use and the whole body receives vital force. When prepared as in Scott's Emulsion, it is quickly and easily changed into the tissues of the body. As your doctor would say, cit is easily assimilated." Perhaps you are suffering from fat starvation. You take fat enough with your food, but it either isn't the right kind, or it isn't digested. You need fat prepared for you, as in Scott's Emulsion.
