the effect

Is apparently and easily recognized in
the faces of these poor miserable crea-
tures-living wrecks of manhood, living
sconrges to their family and themselves,
daily wreaking in the throes of bodily
pain and mental distresses, the gloomy
forebodings OF the dark, unlimitless
chasm yawning for their entry. Unfit for
any physical or mental vocation, they be-
come morose, sullen and melancholy;
there is no en- joymen for them. Suffer
ing agonies beyond description, their
mind becomes diseased, immaterial
mass, conju1ing up visions and halluclna-
ton. The thought alone of such conoi-
tion is something awful to contemplate,
Their body is mass of flesh and blood
diseased in every portion, with which
nature battles daily. only to eventually
succumb TO its mighty ravages, and the

TRIU UMPHANT SUCCESS.

(san Francisco Chronicle, Feb 8, 1879
Ten years of unparalleled success in the
practice of medicine in San Francisco has
stamped DR.. Sweany rs the greatest spe-
'cialist of the age. Specialists have come
and gone. Others Will come and go the
same as those before them, leaving their
patients poorer and uncured.
In every State in the Union there are
strong happy and healthy men and women
who testify that they owe their lives to
DIR. Sweany's saving skill. These LIVING
MON MENTS to his unvarying success
number high into the thousands, forming
the proudest record of perfect cures ever
made by an American physician.

TO WOMEN.

DR.. Sweaay's help and assistance has at
all times proved to be of the utmost value.
No matter whether they were in the very
bud of young womanhood, whether they
were blushlng their first roses as happy or
unhappy mothers, whether they were in
the prime of matronlv womanhood, or
whether they were nearing the change of
life-in each and every instance this emf
nent specialists advice has been of untold
value. Painful menstruation, leucorrbna,
displacement of the womb. and all the dis
tressing ailments peculiar to the weaker
sex, have been made special study of by
DR.. Sweany. and in each and every case
he takes peculiar interest. And he is
especially successful in these, and indeed
all diseases of women.

Scientific Treatment.

In Seminal Weakness, like all other all
ments, the peculiarities shown in each
case will differ and each case must be
studied by itself and treated according to
the conditions existing in that particular
case. No two cases can be cured with the
same treatment, as no two cases are alike.
This is why Doctor Sweany has no single
remedy which he deals outas "cure-all,'
nor any mechanical contrivances such as
"electric BELTS" which are heralded to the
world as remedy tor all ills. His med
ical education condemns such methods.
Every case that he undertakes to cure is
treated scientifically with such remedies
and such means as in his judgment that
particular case requires in order to effect
speedy and permanent cure.
Call to-day. Don't dllow your of7iction
to grow or and on from day to day! Take
time by the foretock. See DR.. Sweany at once

patients su6stantiate every claim he makes.

>tNATOK ALLEN's RESOLUTION.

Possibly Senator Allen was inspired by
.he same impulse as moved Us when he
introduced his resolution into the Sen
ate on Thursday, i'm regard TO the Cuban
general. Rivera. But Mr.. Allen has gone
about the business in the wrong way. all
the same. His resolution protests against
the inhumanity and barbarism Of shoot
ing Rivera But that is not the way TO
save Rivera's life. and Rivera's life is
what we are after saving. Spain, un-
doubtedly. has the right. under the laws
OF nations. TO have such laws for dealing
with instructions of her people as she
thinks best. And. though We may think
the laws barbarous. We cannot deny her
the right 10 nave them If, in her opinion,
they are wisest. She is clearly, there
fore. within the bounds OF her conceded
rights when she provides death, sum
marily inflicted, for insurgents taken with
arms in hand. And she will undoubtedly
resent any protest such as Mr.. Allen pro-
poses to make. against her methods OF
dealing with her refractory subjects so
that If the Senate should pass his resolu-
ton. 1t would much more surely seal
Rlvera's fate than save him.
But II the Senate should pass concilia-
tory resolutions, reciting the fact that
humanity calls for some allowance. even
TO rebels when their Instruction has
reached the proportions of civil war, and
requesting Spain in behalf Of the nu-
merous friends that Rivera has in this
country, to spare his life upon condition
OF his taking up his residence in the
United States. the probabilities all are
that the Spanish Government would
hasten to grant this Governments re-
quest.
Mr.. Allen should remember that II
is Rivera's life that We all want saved,
and not some high-sounding declarations
II the principles Of magma charta and the
Bill Of Rights.
We hope, therefore. that he will with
draw his resolution as offered. and intro
duce another, requesting Spain TO spare
Rivera and send him TO us. We will well
come him as a most desirable citizen,
thought Spain thinks his only use is to
be put 10 death.

that II suffered more than any ct1er
