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 suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overfl0ws with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. Il is upon this princi-
pie that a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires 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 uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As
it costs nothing 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 he 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 combi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
IL Woulu Seein tHdt all men SuHerlng WIN

will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr.
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.
