more service to a weakened man than
your priceless prescription,
Dear Sir:-"Permit me to thank you
and also congratulate myself upon the
results from the prescription you sent me
free recently. The effect was quite no
ticeable even in the start and in a sur
prising short time there was cOnsidera
BILE enlargement with all the necessary
strength and vigor. 1t is truly a mans
remedy and gives him just what he needs
most"
Mr.. Olds:-'I am grateful to you for
the prescription which / tried as direc-
ted. Being a great sufferer for many
years did not expect a cure right away,
but there is a marvellous something in
your prescription that does the work like
a race horse. feel like different man
already"
And so on, letter after letter voicing
the sentiment Of unusual and exuberant
thankfulness. 1t is certainly a remark
able prescription that induces men to
write such letters of themselves. 1t is
worth while writing to Mr.. Odds for
such a matchless remedy as given in his
free prescription. a .l5 q
