Painful diseases are bad enough. but when a

weakness the mental forebodings are ten
times worse than the most severe pain. There
is no let up to the mental suffering day or

such q strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the trou bed sea OF sexual weakness
until 1t was question whether he had not
better take q dose of poison and thus end all
his throubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of a com bination
of medicines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his weak,
maciated 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

The plaintiffs aver that Mr.. Smith we'll
knew that the foregoing false and defama-
tory matter would expose Mrs. Dexter to
public scorn and contempt, and that in
view of these premises she deems herself
entitled to the $4,000 damages for which
she sues. j. N. E. Wilson is attorney for
the plaintiffs.
Some time ago the Dexters sued Mr..
Smith and DIR. McNutt for $4,000, said 10

a portion of the estate.

Damages From Her Recreant Lover,
George w. Wise.
Another broken-h hearted damsel has
sought monetary solace for her blighted
and sighted affections. Josephine Wall
AYERS that on the 28th of last Decemb Der,
in the fair village of Pleasanton, George
w. Wise made a proposal of marriage to
her, which she accepted, and that, be
promised to make her his true and lawful
wife within q reasonable time.
Miss Wall says further, that Mr.. Wise
at all times behaved in most tender and
affe ctionate manner toward her, and by
his constant attention and frequent pro-
tastations of love and expressed promises
of marriage she was induced to announce
her engagement, telling her mother and
sister and most intimate friends, and in
viting them to attend her wedding; and,
furthermore, she was induce to make
preparations for the ceremonies and So
IDENTITIES of said proposed marriage, all
of which was at the instance, knowledge
and request of the said defendant.
Further detailing her SORROWS, Miss
Wall alleges that on the 30th of April,
1897, to wit last Friday, which is pro-
verbally an unlucky day, the defendant
without excuee or cause, declared that he
had no intention, nor did he at present
have any intention to perform his prom
Use of marriage to the said plaintiff; that
he then and there ruthlessly and unjusti-
fiably refused to marry the said plaintiff,
although she requested him to do So"
The refusal CT Mr.. Wise was followed
the day after by this suit for breach of
promise showing that the woman Of the
era is equal to any emergency, and is
prompt to act. She says that his "acts Of
deception, 10 wit. in declaring his love
and affection for her, and his repeated
promises to marry her. when at ali tim s
he had no intention OF keeping his word,
has caused her great grief, EN- barrassment
and mental anxiety. and thereby has done

amount of $40 600 "
