The Method Of a Great Treat

Which Cured Him After Every

Painful diseases are pad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away WIFE

are ten times worse than the most severe
pain. There is no let up to the mental sur
fering day or night. Sleep is almost I'm

scarcely responsible for what they DO. For
years the writer rolled and tossed on the
troubled sea of sexual weakness until II
was a question whether be had not better
take a dose of poison and thus end all his
troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid In the shape OF a combina-
ton of medicines that not only completely
restored the general health, but enlarged

OUR rgIsn DEPARTMENT..


M
10 he chief and Members Of Tho East Las
Vegas Fire Department,
GENrLrMKNs--I hereby submit the
following report OF tho department fol
the past year;
We have been fortunate, 80 far az
fires are concerned. The year has
passed without any accident to any Of
our members. for which good fortune,
l trust we are all very thankful.
There have been eleven alarms rune
In and nine fires. Average attendance
at fires, twenty-five; average time Of
service, twenty-five minutes. Only
two fires occurred where the insurance
amounted to much. The loss on one
was $575, and upon the other, $3.50,
which shows the efficiency OF the de.
partment and the promptness with
which II responds to the alarms.
The department Is fairly we'll equip
ped, 80 far as apparatus is concerned.
but some supplies are necessary for the
greater efficiency OF the department.
which supplies 1t will be we'll for the
incoming officers to lay before the city
council, with the request that they or
der the same, as the department has
used very little OF Its appropriation for
the past year.
wish 70 call your attention to the
meeting OF the Territorial association,
the coming summer, and hope to see
the department take hold OF the same
and by all joining together, push It 10 .
successful termination. A great deal
Of responsibility will rest with the In
coming officers, and 1t will require a
great deal of their time TO make the
meeting a successful one.
l also wish to call the attention oil
the department 10 the passage OF Q
Territorial law requiring 2 per centum
| of all premiums N fire insurance to be
paid to the departments for their use
in providing better fire protection.
| This is, as I think 1t should be, for
nearly all fires, If not speedily extin-
guished, would result in large losses to
insurance companies, and by the de.
partments being properly supplied
with good apparatus from such . fund
as this law would create, Will save
them more than the amount Of money
which they will pay into such fund
think it would be to the interest Of
the department IL the foreman OF each
company would see that the records o.
fires are kept in q little better manner
in the future than they have been IL
the past, 10 the book kept for that pur-
pose, or that suitable blanks be pro
vided for that purpose.
have been pleased to note the
mutual good feeling prevailing between
the members of the department. and
hope to see it continue in the future,
Bespeaking the incoming officers
successful year, l beg to remain,
Yours respectfully,
A. r. QUINLr.
