FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREAT
MENT
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 reSpOn-
sible for what they do For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until IL was a
question whether he had not better
take a dose Of poison and thus end all
his troubles. But providential inspira-
ton came to his aid in the shape of
combination Of medicines that not only
completely restored 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 adj
dress may have the method of this
wonderful treatment free. Now when
I say free I mean absolutely without
cost, because / want every weakened
man to get the benefit of my expert
ence.
I am not philanthropfst, nor do
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 a 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 informa-
ton, but send for it, and learn that
there are few things on earth that
although they cost nothing to get they
are worth fortune to some men and
mean lifetime of happiness to most
of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box

successes Marie Tempest will I'M
doubtedly be the leading lady of the
the Harvard Pennsylvania football
game, which he says is the first Amer
lean game he ever saw. Mr.. Lehman
says of the game that 1t was one Of the
most stirring. and invigorating ex-
Eeriences that has ever fallen to his
lot. He has heard much, he continues,
of the roughness and brutality of the
American game, but he never saw g.
finer game played with a manlier
spirit.
Football the Cambridge man says
can not be gentle game. and milk
sop has no part in it either in England
or America. But the game saw,
though violent and rough was never
brutal. Indeed, I cannot hope to see d
finer exhibition of courage, strength
and manly endurance without q trace
OF meanneSS than was shown by these
teams. American football is not so
much a game in our rough and ready
sense of the word, as it Is the develop
ment of a series of intricate tactical
evolutions. The players go through a
course of training, which no English
amateur ever had any experience Of"
company.

Conditions In France by Daring
Socialist Organ.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE revelations of
the Luetzow trial, and the arrest of
Baron Won Tausch, the commissioner of
detective police, are having unimagined
consequences, one of which Is that the
whole police system, as organized under
Won Puttkamer and perfected under Zu
Gutenberg and Won Koeller, will be
either modified or abolished. The cab
met has held daily sessions during the
week, celebrating a plan for bringing
about one or another of these results.
The emperor, since his return from
Hanover and Buckenburg, has con-
ferred with Count Zu Gutenberg, Police
Chief Windheim, Prince Won Hohenlohe
and Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein.
and it is reported in court circles that
his majesty is in no way satisfied with
the bold public way in which Hohen-
lohe and Baron Marschal unearthed, in
court, the police espionage, whereof
they have been the victims for years,
believing that the exposure will preju-
dice the house authority and German
influence abroad.
A scene between the emperor and
Baron Marschal at the new palace is
reported to have been very animated.
1t is even claimed by some of the en-
peror's encourage that the minister for
foreign affairs rendered his resignation,
which the emperor refused for the time
being to accept. 1t is certain, however,
that the court clique, which is hostile to
Baron Marsehal and Prince Hohenlohe,
with Count Zu Gutenberg at it's head, is
again in the ascendant, and unexpected
developments may be looked for at any
moment.
1t is significant that his majesty con-
ferred with everybody on the recent
events before he consulted with Prince
Hohenlohe and Baron Marschal The
emperor is convinced of the necessity
of, overhauling the detective service. Tt
appears that Won Tausch has powerful
and influential hackers. His trial had
been fixed for three weeks hence, and
1T is not doubted that it will develop
new and sensational facts.
1t Is interesting to note that Count
Herbert Bismarck visited his father
this week and that the next day the
Hamburger Naehrichten came out with
an urgent demand that the hackers and
patrons of Won Tausch be unearthed
and punished. Herr Bebel, the Social
list leader, has announced that at
mass meeting next Tuesday, he is going
to make interesting revelations regard

exposed and compared with ante-revo-
lutionary epoch in France. The Eulen-

COLD SNAP,

Like an Invading Army, Brings Suf-
fering and Death and a Host of
Ills.
Few people realize that a calamity
the ordinary blizzard is. The sudden
lowering Of the temperature finds
many people unprepared to meet the
change. Here and there a victim Is
singled out who succumbs quickly to
some acute malady, the direct result OF
cold. An unnumbered multitude. how
ever, survive, who have acquired some
catarrhal affection more or less Sc
we're. A common cold is acute catarrh,
which quickly becomes chronic ca
tarrh if allowed to remain. Every cold
snap leaves in it's trail thousands Of
cases Of catarrh, many of whom for
want of an effective remedy, will suffer
from this disease the rest of their lives.
Is there anything that can be done to
prevent all this?
In the first place, Pe-ru-na used at
the proper time will prevent taking
cold. In the second place, Pe-ru-na
will cure a cold in from two to five
days. Again, Pe-ru-na will cure ca
tarrh quickly in the first stages, and
finally Pe-ru-na will cure also chronic
catarrh, if used properly and persist
emily. Pe-ru-na kept in the house
and properly used will therefore not
only act as a safeguard against the
ailments which result from sudden cold
waves; but will also prove a sure REM
edy for this class of ailments.
Any one desiring an instructive, Ga
page illustrated book on catarrh and
catarrhal diseases can obtain one free
by sending name and address to The
Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Com
pany, Columbus, Ohio. This book was
recently written by DR.. Hartman. the
wen-known author and specialist on
catarrhal diseases.

There have been number of eX-
ceSses during the strike at Hamburg
and numerous arrests have been made.
The strikers, however, are now weak
eIling, and at their meetings today
there was strong feeling in favor of
peace negotiations. They appear in
cEined to patch up their dispute, as it
is stated that, in spite of the large sums
of money collected for them, their
funds are running out
The meetings today adopted resolu-
tons in favor of coming to an arrange
ment with the employers. and con-
ference is to be held to decide upon
the composition of a board Of con-
Citation. The strikers insist that they
do not desire supremacy and claim that
they only wish to settle the question Of
wages and the conditions of labor.
They deny also that they intend, if
peace is concluded, to start a new
strike as soon as possible.
