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 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 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 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 l say free

Following is his story: About a year

missed money. At last, by some means,
ne caught Green and got confession
out of him and at last prevailed upon
Green to sign contract to pay back the
sum stolen (about $1,000 as he was able
and he (Klement) would allow him to
continue in his employ and refrain from
making Green's theft public. Last
week Green earned $13.25 at his work fcx
