NIX Il. y. DUSTIN, KALAMAZOO, MICH.
Although Mr.. Dustin had been afflicted for Q
long time with enlargement of the prostate
gland and urethral obstruction, he had counted
the cost of an operation. He was compelled TO
use the catheter every time to draw his water,
and In his distress he had consulted eight differ
emit physicians in the hope Of relief. They
almost killed him by using large sounds and
bOugies to remove the obstruction.
One day an advertisement caught his eve in
reference to the famous Solvent Alterans system
and he determined to investigate. He found
that this system was not only cheaper easier.
and a surer way toget rid of prostate disorders.
but he found it to be less cruel than the knife.
and almost absolutely certain to cure him. His
Judgment told him that the Solvent A lterans
system was scientific and common sense. He
decided to test 1t and 1t fully met his expecta.
tions. That was two years ago, and he is stiil
perfectly and permanently cured.
Full particulars in regard to this marvellous
system are published In book called "Eolyent.
