When the desolating fact Of impaired vigor
comes hcme TO men the force Of the blow is
crushing. They know themselves inferior Ia
their fellows, and they shrink from companion

When hope yanshes despair takes It's place All
this Is without warrant, for these men can be
cured. Dr. Greene, the famous specialist In
mems diseases has found the remedies that re
store vitality in men. These remedies build up
and strengthen, and thousands OF men walk the
earth today who have been permanently restored

made him famous. You may consult Dr. Greene
at his Office, "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass or
write 10 him, and there viii be absolutely no
