rrethral Structure.

Cured on the same terms. The treatment is painless. I perform all manner of surgical operations pertaining to my speciality, and through the influence of anesthetics cause no pain This boon to the afflicted.
 There are many complications follow ing Private Diseases such as Bad Blood, Skin, Bladder and Womb Troubles. Ul- cers, Pimples, Blotches, sore Mouth, etc., all of which quickly get we'll when the cause Is removed.
 I wish to call special attention to my treatment of unfortunates suffering from the effects of Early Imprudence, Errors of Youth, Loss of Vitality, Loss of Man. hood, Sexual Debility, or any of the mad dening effects Get well and be a man. Enjoy life as you should. Thousands of men and youths are occupying subordi- nate positions in life today who, if they were able to exercise their brain power to its fullest capacity, would instead be leaders.
 In a majority of cases can cure my pa- tients by mail treatment. I can furnish medicines from my Dispensary, or, as l am Regular Licensed Physician, I can write them prescriptions. If they prefer they can have them prepared by their home druggist.
 If you live in or near the city. call at my Private Dispensary. If at a distance. write me your trouble My book on Pri- vate Diseases and proper question lists will be sent on application.

The ethics of. the difference between the
professional opinion of a paid advocate
and the honest conviction OF learned
man were set forth by well-known Eng
lisn barrister who died recently. The story
is not to be found in the "reminiscences
which he published shortly before his
dea,h. 1t was case of murder, and the
client and counsel were closeted together.
'.Smith," said the barrister, ''of course
7 know you didn't murder the man, but,
as matter of fact, did you do 1t with the
butt end of revolver or with a stick 2'
.Sir." said Smith, II swear l am inno-
cent. 81 know that perfectly we'll, but
YOU must tell me. For if you did it with
a revolver shall say to the prosecution,
Produce the stick = and if you did it with
a stick l shall say Produce the revolverv :"
The, client paused and scratched his head
meditativelv. "It was the butt end of a
revolver, sir" That's right!p said the
