FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Nun Offers to Send His Dis
covcry F~reo-Claims to be q Bencfactor
to Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that Is offered free
but sometimes a man so overilows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery Is known to TIE world, in or
der that his fellow men may profit by
what he has discovered. It Is upon this
principle that 4 resident OF Kalamazoo,
Mich, desires to send free to mankind
a prescription which will cure them of
any form Of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertainty
which such men are peculiarly liable to
and restores the organs to natural size
and viEor. As It costs nothing to try
the experiment 1t would seem that any
man. suffering with the nervous
troubles that usually attack men who
never stopped to realize what might be
the final result, ought TO be deeply in
terestcd In q remedy which will restore
them to health. strength and vigor,
without which they continue TO live an
existence OF untold misery. AS. the REM
cdy In question was the result OF many
years research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective In restor-
Ing TO men the strength they neeo. IL
would seem that all men suffering with
amy form OF nervous weakness ought
TO write for such q remedy ut once. A
request to IL. c. Odds. Box 1866, Kala-
mazoo. Mich. stating that you are not
sending for the prescription out OF idle
curiosity, but that you wish to make
use of the medicine by giving 1t a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription Is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there Is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds so that he may Know how you
came to write TO him. W&al
