FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His Dis
eOvery Free,
Claims to Be a BenefaotOr to Weakened
Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion
attached TO anything that is offered free but
sometimes a man so oyer1Ows with generosity
that he cannot rest until his discovery IS
known to the world in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has discovered
IL is upon this principal that a resident of
Kalamazoo, Mich desires to send free to
mankind prescription which will cure them
Of any form of nervous debility relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor As il
cUsts nothing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack men
who never stopped to realize what might be
the final result, ought TO be deeply interested
in a remedy which will restore them to
health strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of untold
misery. AS the remedy in question was the
result Of many years research as to what
combination would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need it
would seem that all men suffering with any
form of nervous weakness ought to write for
such a remedy at once request TO II. c.
Olds, Box l7l2, Kalamazoo Mich, stating
that you are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use Of the medicine by giving ita trial
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came from
The prescription is sent free and although
some may wonder how Mr.. Olds can afford to
give away his discovery, there is no doubt
about the offer being genuine. Cut this out
and send 10 Mr.. Olds so that he may know
how you came to write him. l2-28-7st

SHE WAS THRIFTY.
One Woman Made $4,000 with Thrash

One Woman Made $4,000 with a Thrash
Ing Machine.
A woman thrasher IS a novelty-that
is, outside OF the schoolhouse or home.
And the one in question is a genuine
thrasher OF the golden grain OF the
northwest. says the Minneapolis Jour
nal. She came into one of the Minnenp.
oils farm machinery houses the other
day to make her final payment on her
machine. This was startling and
marked her as woman of business ca
pacity; for the man who makes full!
payment on thrasher this season is re.
garded as an exceptionally good man.
That the lady in question had business
head is further evidenced by the fact
that she succeeded in working" the
manager Of the establishment for $3.50,
the amount Of her fare home.
She innocently tOs1 him that 10 pay
her bin in full would take every cent
she had and she rlust take out enough
to get home. While the manager gen.
tly demurred at receipting the bill in
full with this discount off. she ingcn-
iously hinted that it would cost NOR,
than $3.50 to send collector after the
balance, and he tumbled to the situa-
ton as gracefully as possible. Mrs.
Thrasher Tor perhaps it is Miss) said
that she had made 5000 out of her ma
chine and had 1S7 stacks of grim to
finish this winter, which she proposed

ering the fact that many machines are
being taken back on mortgages this
year, no one can successfully maintain
that woman is not adapted TO this new
