Free Cure For Men.
Al MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.

Claims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overf1ows 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. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that a resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind pre-
scription 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
it costs 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 combi-
nation 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. A re-
quest to III. G. Odds. Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, 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 it trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.

Captain Richards SAYS at most the
uprising was a very small affair." the
leaders being only supported by Indians
and people taken out of the coffee plan
tations. Before the Alert left San Jose,
on November 9th, General Barrios had
completely suppressed the uprising, and
had esta blished himself in office for an
other six years. Barrios had the sup
port of the military and the foreign ele-
ment, with whom he appeared to be in
good standing.

of coal, and will leave for San Francisco
Friday morning.
Officers of the Alert were questioned

They denied all knowledge of it, and
one of them added that they had not
