THE METHODS OF A GREAT
TREATMENT FOR WEAKNESS

Which Cured Him alter Everything

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a 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 For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea ot sexual Weakness until Il was a
question whether he had not better
take dose of poison and thus end all
his troubles, But providential inspira-
tion came 70 his aid in the shape ot a
combination OF medicines that not only
completely restored the general health.

pose as an enthusiast. but there are
thousands Of men suffering the mental
tortures OF weakened manhood who

That Astoria's time has come to takt
q decided stand for her industries al
ready established and those to be es-
tablished is evident TO every thinking
person. The fact tha: Alaska and Brit
ish Columbia packers have been able
to sell their salmon under our very
noses. in markets where we have here
tofore held the upper hand. simply be-
cause they advertised their wares judi
eiously is conclusive evidence that fire
must be met by fire and competition
must be overcome with competition. As
toria expects during the next years i'm
mediately following to build a large
and prosperous city. She has the ad-
vantage Of an unexcelled situation and
IS surrounded by unparalleled re-
sources. These resources must be so
developed that people and money will
come here and help carry on and fuS-
ther the great work Tin-pall brigades
must be established and homes for the
workers provided. 1t is contrary to rea-
son and policy that all this should be
accomplished in a night, and the town
grow up like a mushroom. No solid
advancement can be made on such prin-
eiples. To get people here there must
be something for them to do The build
ing and opening Of the railroad pro-
vides the way for the starting Of other
industries. The handling here and load
ing Of the great wheat feet is the
first step which makes all other in
dustries possible. The railroad and
wheat traffic is assured. but to sit
down in apathy and wait for this traf-
&c TO be developed would be suicidal for
the city. as that business alone cannot
possibly very largely increase popula-
tion or bring many more people here
to buy lots and build homes. A busl-
ness like and foresighted policy would
SUPPLEMENT- and cooperate with the rail-
road construction to have established
at the time Of completion Of the road,
or shortly afterwards such manufac-
turing industries as a -four mill, dry
dock, export sawmill, tinplate factory
and fax spinning mill. All these indus
tries mean hundreds Of skilled workmen
earning good wages. a largely increased
population and a constantly growing
and profitable commerce. That our nat
uraI advantages are more than equal
to all these conditions none will deny.
Why should not the work Of securing
these great enterprises go on simuIta-
neously with the building Of the rail-
road? Times have been hard. 10 be
sure, but there is plenty of property
and many available sites with which to
tempt the unemployed capital Of the
East Every foot Of ground put into
the pool for a factory means that the
remaining feet win be eventually
quadrupled in selling prices and a mar
ket be furnished even at present high
prices where now there is none. Ordi-
nary business policy would seem to
suggest a vigorous campaign on these
lines before IT Is to late to reap the
greatest benefit. Let the railroad be
once completed and in successful op-
GRAFTON and there will be others to get
the largest profits besides present own
srs Of property in old Astoria.
