FREE TO EVERY MAN. THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT 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 forebod- ings 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 responsible TOT what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea or sexual weakness, until it was question whether he had not better take dose or poison and thus end all his troubles But providential inspiration came to his ald in the shape of a combination Of meul- eines that not only completely rsetored the general health, but enlarged ms weak emaeiated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when I say free 1 mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weak ened man to get the benefit of my expe- rience.
 I am not a philanthropist, nor dc pose as an enthusiast. but there 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 I 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 fortune to some men, and mean lifetime of happiness to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box 181, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the informa- tion will be mailed in a plain sealed en- velope. S-30-su&wed-tf

CLOTH FOR OUR WOMEN.

Our Woolens for Women's Wear the
 Best In the World
 New York Sun.
 "All that has been said as to the high quality of American made cloth for mems wear is equally true of the woolen goods worn by the women"
 This is the verdict of a manufacturer of clcuks and suits, who, by reasons of the large volume of his annual output, is con- spicuous in the trade throughout the United States. Cloaks and jackets amounting in value to about $S0,000,00O are manufactured every year in the United States, and of this total New York City turns out much larger quantity than any other American city. Until recently New York had almost a monopoly of this branch of industry, but suffered some diversion of it's trade to other cit ies, in consequence of the labor troubles in 1894 Out of the $50. 900 worth of cloaks produced each year in the United States, 75 per cent. are made of wooden material, of which fully 95 per cent. are of American manufacture. Allowing for the proportion of cost represented by the item of labor and the Innings and trim mings used it is seen that the production of cloth for cloaks is an important ele- ment in the total manufacture of Ameri- can woolens
 Concerning the merit and value of the domestic fabric used in cloaks, jackets and suits as compared with the goods imported from Europe, the testimony of experts is positive and convincing. In a large house in Leonard street, which mar kets the output of foreign and domestic mills in about equal quantities, and may therefore be considered as fairly neutral as regards prejudice either way, a re- porter was asked to examine line of samples in heavy, rough cloak goods, both domestic and imported. In respect of style, pattern finish and general ef- feet, the American materials were pref erable.
 '"They are the best in all respects" ," said the expert cloth man i'm charge of the depart naeirit "Thrsre is nothing that comes across the water equal in style or value to our homemade cloths in this general line of cloakings Our native goods are in all respects superior. See here"
 He picked up piece of cloth a quar- ter of an inch thick. ard by a twist of the thumbs, which clcith experts are well up in he poked a hl-ile in the fabric. That s foreign stuff." said he. You couldn't do that with amy of those domestic samples Why the Americans are unDophisticated novicee in many os the tricks of weav- ing They don't understand how to use shoddy material as tine foreigners do, and consequently they turn out a much honester and better cd5th Tihey, also ex- eel in taste and style as we'll as in quaAi-
