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 a strain men are scarcely respon-
sibie for what they do. Fer 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 provdential 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 ce-
clares that any man who will take
the trouble to send his name and ad-
dress may have the method OF this Won
derful treatment free. Now. when l say
free 1 mean absolutely without cost, be-
cause l want every weakened man to
get the benefit of my experience.
I am not a philanthropist, nor do l
pose as an enthusiast, but thera are
thousands of men suffering the mental
tortures of weakened manhood who
would be cured at once could they but
get such 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 information, but
send for it, and learn that there are a
few things on earth that although they
cost nothing to get they are worth a
fortune to some men and mean life

From Death.

Just at midnight last night young
fellow strolled into the police station
and after sitting around a few moments
approached the clerks desk and ask
ed if a doctor was on hand. Being told
that the police surgeon was at home in

refused to answer any inquiries and his
manner was so suspicious that Judge
Bean ordered him searched.
On opening his coat 1t was discovered
that his vest was saturated with blood
and that he had knife cut in his left
breast nearly over the heart. On being
asked his name it was given as John

Sullivan was taken into the receiving
hospital where it was found that he
had been only slightly wounded the
