MIlNT
Which Cured Him After Everything
Else Failed.

Painful diseases ane had enough. but
when 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-
sible for what they do. 9For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better
take dose Of poison and thus end all
his troubles. But providential inspira-
ton came to his aid in the shape of n
combination 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 man who will take
the trouble to send his name and adj
dress may have the method of this
wonderful treatment free. Now when
I say free I mean absolutely without
cost. because / want every weakened
man to get the benefit Of my expert
ence.
I am not a philanthropist, nor do T
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 a remedy as the one that
cured me. Do not try to study out how
1 can afford to pay the few postage
stamps necessary to mail the Informal
ton, 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 a lifetime Of happiness to most
of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box
1873, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the In
formation will be mailed in a plain
sealed envelope.
