The World Wide Wonder Worker
Again Extends the Healing
Hand to Failing Man.
GRATITUDE TO THE GREAT HUDYAN.
Much Midnight Oil Burned at the Big
Institute by Eminent Physicians
to Benefit Mankind. =

A question not infrequently obtruding
itself upon the inquiring mind is this: Is
man degenerating-fai in vital force,
losing energy. lacking in that strong,
robust virile power which made the gigan-
tic gladiators of the arena such enviable
types of physical perfection, and. if so,
why? l give it up. The solution of such
q knotty problem would require q more
facile pen and subtle mind than possess.
so l will content myself with the broatE
assertion that man is failing physicallyL
But / also know that this failing may re
halted if the proper steps are taken and
taken in time.
l will try and tell how 1 first became Iin.
troduced to the medical marvel of the sge
the great Hudyan.
While walking along Montgomery street
about two months ago [ was accosted by
as | supposed at the time-a pc rfect
stranger in so familiar and effusive man
ner as to betoken long acquaintanct,ship.
l could see by the merry twinkle of his
full clear eye that he was enjoying my
embarrassment hugely. Concluding at last
he had had about as much fun at my ex-
pense as was consistent with str eet eti-
quette, l made bold to say, "Well, sir,
may ask who you are, pray?"
why - calling me by name,
don't you recognize your friend Jack
1 seized his hand and stood paralyzed.
Was it possible that this was the same
man whom | had seen one short year
before complete physical wreck, nervous,
irritable, melancholy, hair and eyelasheS
gone, round-shouldered and ambitionless
yet there could be no disputing the fact
that it was the same old Jack. But oh,
how completely and miracuIously Hiu-
venated. Why he looked like gladiator
of the olden times, tall erect, robust and
fearless; sparkling eve and finn grip.
| The VerV embodiment of manly gtr6nQth
| and beauty.
"Jack, said. feeling somewhat dwarfed
| in his lofty presence, "let us go and sit
down somewhere and you can tell me how
you discovered the famed rejuvenating
waters of Ponce de Leon P''
When we were comfortably seated in an
adjacent cafe, he turned to me and admin
istering good rousing slap on my shoul.
| ders, which nearly drove me through the
| floor, said: "Old man, no mysterious or
Ponce de Leonism about it at all. Just
| listen. You remember when l last saw
| you, about year ago, | was on the verge
of suicide. ALI the comforts of life had
been absorbed by my nervous and wasted
| condition, and the end was near. One day
a friend advised me to go the Hudson
Medical Institute aud try their celebrated
remedlo-treatment-H / went and
| the wonderful result you see before your
! eyes, and OH my friend" and there were
tears in his eyes as he spoke. Il bless the
| day l consulted the good doctors of the
| Hudson Medical Institute and revere the
| name of Hudyan." After listening to the
graphic account of his miraculous cure by
the great Hudyan / have no hesitancy in
recommending any man who may be suf-
fering from any of the many saPping dis
eases of which men are the victims, to call
on, or write to the HUDSON MEDICAL
INSTITUTE for testimonials, corner
Stockton and Market streets.
