person OF George B. Wright. n music dealer
and well known citizen of Marshall. Mich.
Mr.. Wright for years suffered the agony OF
lost vital power. He saw his physical
power go from him as the result Of iusidious
disease, until he was reduced to a condition
of senility. and the best doctors in the coun-
try gave him up 10 die.
Like many others, he tried the various
remedies offered by specialists for the treat
ment OF weaknesses peculiar to men, and it
was this experience that drove him to a little
study and research for his own benefit.
He asserts that his 10 years suffering,
both mentally and physically, was turned
to unbounded joy in single night through
rare combination of medicines that liter
ally made him young again 1t is the pre-
scription of this discovery that his enthusi-
asn leads him to. offer free to any man,
young or old, who feels that his animation
or the fire of ambition has left him and
needs something that viii brace him up and
enable him to be prepared for any under
taking which may present itself
There is no question but what in his indf-
vidual case the results were just as described,
and it seems quite probable that any man
who believes himself to be weak may profit
by sending for this free prescription. Many
people wonder how nc can afford 10 send

to do so, and he feels a philanthropic in
