A successful treatment.


To successfully treat Nervous and Physical
Weakness in men in its various forms and
stages is only possible where a line OF treat
ment is prepared to meet the requirements OF
the individual case-then and then only, can
a cure be effected. A specific remedy has not
vet and never will be found, that will meet
all cases and conditions, or effect q cure in
even small majority of cases. Proof of this
is found on every hand. Hundreds of dollars
have been spent in vain for various cure-alls
that, under the most favorable circumstances,
could effect cure in but very few eases
When man is suffering from a weakness
that affects the vital forces of his manhood
be it impotency, varicocele, lack of devel-
opment, OF nervous weakness of any kind
no matter from what cause-intelligent treat

The translation of the letter by EXecu
tive Officer Kentreres is as follows:
about O'Clock the squadron got m
der way. the ships one cables distance
from each other. At $3.50 the Infanta
Maria Teresa cleared the entrance t6

until she had passed the MORO. The

have received proiectile that started

head for the beach in order to strand

to take effect at ] p. IN. M. and that
together with the fact that it was not
possible to fight with the after guns
on accoun Of the Colons lack of large

ing oyerhauled by the whole American

remedy than to run ashore in order to

THE CREW OF THE BOURGOGNE
A Nest Of Kissing Added Judging From
This Description.

New York. July S.-The Mail and Elk

view with one Of the officers of the
steamer Grecian. which carried the SUR
viving passengers of the i'll fated La
Bourgogne from Sable Island to Hall
fax, and which arrived ut its dock here
this morning.
In reply to question, the officer said:
Our company does not like to have its
officers quoted. but | can't help saying
that. for the most part, the crew OF LA
Bourgogne were the poorest specimens
of humanity | have ever been thrown i'll
contact with. It's almost a shame that
decent men have to travel on the same
waters with them.
PERSONALLY, | avoided them as much
as possible. but occasionally bits of their
conversation were waited to my ears.
These. fellows spent most of their time
accusing each other Of murder and
cowardice. and instead of being devoutly
thankful that their miserable souls still
chung to their bodies. would pass their
hours reviling and swearing at each
other. They were not boisterous about
it, but would hiss sentences at each other
as though they were fiends. There were
no blows struck by any of them. simply
because they were too cowardly.'

Bruwaert. representing the French gov
eminent in this city. told the history of

statements of the crew by the consul in
his capacity as IA member of the French
Admiralty court Mr.. Bruwaert tells
the story as follows:
''When the collision occurred Captain
De Loncle was on the bridge. The
shock Of the collision was great. 1t
threw the big ship to port. and the bow
spirit of the Cromartyshire smashed the
bridge Of the liner. striking the captain
in the side wounding him painfully.
Seeing that the ship had been hurt
by the collision, the captain. ordered the
ship steered for Sable Island
al this time he did not know the eX-
tent of the injury 10 the ship. but he
ordered the twelve life boats to be man
ned by the crews companies assigned to
them. The crew responded to the order
and remained at their posts. After this
the captain signalled from the bridge
to the officers below decks to ascertain
the extent Of the injuries below. He re-
ceived no response to the signal. The
Cromartyshirc had disappeared almost
instantly in the mist as the liner sped
past her.
about eight minutes after the captain
had signalled down below and received
no answer Fourth Engineer Laisnt

that the side Of the ship was cut open
and water was pouring into the ma
