The Method Of q Great Treat
ment for Weakness of Men.
which Cured Him After Every
thing Else Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, bur
when q man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness, the mental forebodings
are ten times worse than the most severe
pain. Theirs Is no let up to the mental suf-
fering day or night. Sleep is almost i'm
possible and under such a strain men are
scarcely responsible for what they do. For
years the writer rolled and tossed on the
troubled sea of sexual weakness until IL
was q question whether he had not better
take Q dose OF poison and thus end all his
troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid In the shape of acombina-
tion Of medicines that not only completely
restored the general health, but enlarged
his weak, emaciated parts to natural size
and vigor. and he now declares that any
mar who win take the trouble to send his
name and address may hsve the method or
this wonderful treatment free. Now when
l say free, / mean absolutely without cost,
because I want every weakened man to get
the benefit OF my experience.
l am not a philanthropist, nor do l pose
ns an enthusiast, but there are thousands
Of men suffering the mental fortunes OF
weakened manhood who would be cured at
once could they but get such q remedy as
the one that cured me. Do not try sostndy
out how | can afford to pay the few post
age stamps necessary TO mail the informa-
ton, but send for II, and learn that there
are q few things on earth that, although
they cost nothing to get, they are worth q
fortune to some men and mean q lifetime
OF happiness to most OF ~. Write teTh0m-

In the sovereign states, criminals
against the state laws are limited to the
trial court and the state supreme
court, whereas in q Territory, in the
light Of the action in the Borrego case
at Santa Fe, q criminal against the
Territory has the greater privilege Of
appeal to the U, s. supreme court and
to the president Of the United States.
1t would seem that the murderers in .
Territory, who are but Great res Of
congress, are favored with greater
rights and opportunities to escape the
just consequences OF their damnable,
murderous deeds than are the criminals
in ssthe states" 1t oar but be rcc0g-

LONDON, England, March 23.-Se-
cret Investigation set on foot by the
postofice department, at the instance
of Mr.. Colville, a member OF the house
Of commons, has developed the fact
that a large proportion Of the letters,
pamphlets and newspapers mailed from
England to Siberia, never reach their
destination, and that such letters as
are delivered are in nine cases out Of
ten tempered with en- route. It is said
that some acrimonious correspondence
has passed between the British and
Russian governments In relation to the
matter, the Russian governmenttaking
the ground that 1t has full and absolute
control over all mail matter addressed
to subjects Of the car, and TINT such
mail matter, once within Russian juris-
diction, may be delivered or confs-
Gated as the Russian postofice author
tiles may see fit. Members Of the
Russian colony in this city, who are in
communication with Siberia by under
ground routes, say that the confiscation
OF mail matter is not confined to Eng
land, and that q very small proportion
OF the letters mailed from the United
States to Siberia ever reach the per-
sons for whom they are intended.
