4 Tried Remedr for Biliousness.

Those who suffer from disorder or in
action of the liver will never get the
upper hand of the unruly organ so long
as they use such irrational remedies as
blue pill. calomel and podophylIin. But
from the tried and popular medicine,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they may
expect relief with a certainty of obtain
ing it. The influence of the Bitters upon
the great hillary gland is direct, power
full and speedily felt. The relief afforded
is not spasmodic. but complete and per-
red appearance of the tongue. indigestion,
costiveness. headache, nausea, pains
through the right side and shoulder, in
fact every accompaniment of the obsti-
nate complaint are entirely and prompt
~ removed by a course of this inestima-
bic medicine. in behalf of which testi-
mony is constantly emanating from

THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
 Failed.


 Painful diseases are bad enough, but when man Is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- lngs are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let-up to tho mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible and under such a strain men are scarcely responsible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness, until it was question whether he had not better take dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medi- cines that not only completely rsetored the general health. but enlarged his weak, emaciated 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 have the method of this wonderful treatment free. NOW when say free, 1 mean absolutely without cost, because l want every weak ened man to get the benefit of my expe- rience.
 l am not philanthrnpist, nor dc pose as an enthusiast but there are thousands Of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such a remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how I can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mail the informa tion, but send for 1t and
 
 earth that, although they cost nothing to get, they are worth a fortune to some men, and mean lifetime of happiness to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box lS1, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the informa- tion will be mailed in plain sealed en- velope. S-30-su&wed-tf STANDINGS BASE BALI. GUIDE OUT
