Painful diseases are pad enough, bur
when q 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 suf-
fering day or night. Sleep Is almost I'M
possible and under such o strain men are
scarcely responsible for what they do. For
wears the writer rolled and tossed on the
troubled sea of sexual weakness until II
was a question whether he had not better
take a dose of poison and thus end all bis
troubles. But ~providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of a combine
ton 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 address may have the method OF
this wonderful treatment free. Now when
