FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims TO Be a BenefactOr To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
ovsrfiows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
TO the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
bic to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. As it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it 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 interested in a remedy
which will restore them TO health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence OF
untold misery. AS the remedy 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 need, il
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to III. 9. Odds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, 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 in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.
Odds can afford to give away his dis
covery, 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 him.

war east and west, and his bravery won
him several brevets. He was on the
stats of both Mcclellan and Grant, the
latter of whom formed an especial re-
gard for him, which lasted throughout
the remainder of the life of the greaN
chieftain.
Upon Gen. Grants election to the
presidency he appointed Porter private
secretary. But Porter was more than
a mere private secretary. He was on
terms of the closest intimacy with his
chief and became in a measure his adj
wiser, and was oftentimcs his personal
representative.
In 1873, after Grants reelection to the
presidency, Gen. Porter became vice
president of PuIlmans Palace Car COM
pany. He was the first president of the
West Shore Railroad company and was
a director in many other corporations,
among them the Manhattan elevated.
The successful work of the Grant Mon
ument association was largely due to
his efforts as it's president.
Gen. Porter is member of the Cen
fury, University, Lotos, Players and
Metropolitan clubs, as well as of the
Union League, the chamber of COM
merce, the National Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution and the
Grand Army of the Republic.
