WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY

Painful diseases are bad 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 responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea OF sexual weakness
until 1t was a question whether he had not
better take dose OF poison and thus end all
his throubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid III the shape of q com bination
of medicines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak,
emaeiated parts to natural size and vgor, and
he now declares that any man who will take
the trouble 10 send his name aud address may
have the method OF this wonderful treatment
free. Now, when say free l mean absolutely
without cost, because l want every weakened
man 10 get the benefit of my experience.

She IS LIKELY TO DIE.
The Precarious Condition of
Pretty Little Lizzie
Grinter.
A S4leslady From the Emporium
Makes Some Serious Charges
Against Several Physicians.

Detectives Silvey and Egan are camp
ing on the trail of certain physicians who
were recently in attendance upon Mrs.
Lizzie Grinter of 797 Mission street. The
woman is very i'll and there is every likeli-
hood that she will die from the effects of
criminal operation.
Yesterday the Detective Department
was notified that woman was dying at
the address given, and, strange to say, the
notification came from a DR.. Robbins, the
very man whom the girl accuses of per-
forming the operation.
Lizzie Grinter is the wife of J. w. Grin
teE coachman or employee about the
stables of E. ]. Baldwin in Los Angeles.
The couple have been separated some
time, but in her illness the husband came
back. Recently the woman, who is only
19 years OF age, worked as saleslady at the
Emporium.
She first stated that in the rush and
hustle of the holidays she was pushed
downstairs by fellow-employe and IN
jured herself in the fall. When told that
she was likely to die, she made the stale
ment that she had submitted to illegal
practice.
