the CAUSE AND CURE OF WEAK
BACK IN MEN,

1t is an erroneous but nevertheless an
almost universal belief that a weakness
and pain in the back, especially in men,
is due to diseased kidneys. This is not
the case, as there are no nerves Of sem
Sation in the kidneys, and diseases Of
these organs are known by altogether
different symptoms. Pains in the back
and a weak feeling in that region are, in
the majority of cases, due to a diseased
or disordered condition of the Prostate
Gland. This gland is the very center of
the male sexual system and upon its
functional activity depend the life of
man and the propagation of a healthy
race. Diseases Of the prostate gland are
so intimately allied TO seminal weak
ness that both may be classed under
one head. Diseases of the prostate
gland, regardless of their nature, in
variably relax and weaken the seminal
ducts, and seminal weakness seldom ex-
lists when the prostate gland is in a
healthy condition. Severe pains in the
back, loins and thighs and a generally
weak feeling across the small Of the
back are certain indications Of a dis
eased prostate gland. Doctor MiIen's
treatment for prostatitis, liberation or
enlargement Of the prostate and all
other diseases of this member is a most
thorough and scientific one and is pure
ly original with him. 1t quickly restores
the diseased organ to a normal, healthy
condition, and at the same time causes
all reflex nervous conditions and dis
turbances of the other organs Of the
sexual system to disappear, completely

treatment is necessary from
the beginning, otherwise the
disease develops later on in
what are termed the second
airy and tertiary stages. These
stages are manifest by a
variety of symptoms. such as
aches in various parts Of the
body, particularly in the
knees and lower limbs. The
hair and eyebrows fall out,
pimples appear in the scalp,
copper-colored spots on vari-
Gus parts of the body and
mucous patches in the mouth.
Doctor Milen's treatment
for blood poison in all its
stages is absolutely the most
perfect, thorough and effec-
tive ever discovered. He
stakes his professional repu-
tation upon its unfailing sue
cess and he guarantees a
positive and speedy cure in
every case. BY his system Of
treatment every vestige Of the
poison is thoroughly eradi-
Gated from the system, never

varicocele is in substance an &C
emulation of sluggish blood in the
veins Of a weakened and diseased scro,
tum. It is both a cause and effect of
seminal weakness. Doctor Milen's new
and original method Of curing Varico-
cele without an operation is distinctly
different from the usual forms of treat
ment for this ailment, and it's use is
attended with universal success. By
means Of his treatment the swollen, sag
ging veins are emptied Of their contents
and gradually reduced to their natural
size. The parts regain their tone and
normal condition, strength is restored,
all pain and the dragging sensations
disappear, the swellings vanish, power
and vigor, which were lacking, return,
and the patient realizes that at last he
has found permanent relief from this

SEXUAL DEBILITY.
Its Banstuf Effects and How Its Speedy and
Permanent Cure Is Effected.

Probably there are few physicians,
unless they possessed Doctor Milen's eX-
perience and knowledge, who would be
willing to admit Or who are in fact in q
position to know and realize the alarm
ing prevalence and in many cases the
pitiful and even pathetic results of that
dilment known by the various titles of
Sexual Debility, Nervous Debility,
Nervo-Sexual Debility and Sexual Neu-
rasthenia. A variety Of causes con-
tribute to this condition and a variety
of symptoms manifest its presence. 1t
arises in a majority OF cases from eX-
ceSsive Indulgence or youthful follies,
vet it is in many instances, caused also
by mental worry, overstudy, business
reverses and excessive use Of alcoholic
stimulants or tobacco. OftentimeS men
are met with who apparently enjoy good
physical health, yet lack that n very
essential requisite of perfect manhood,
viz: sexual vigor. The victim Of this
ailment is Invariably very sensitive In
regard to his condition and feels keenly
the humiliation that it entails. As lex
ual Debility is of necessity a nervous
disease, it brings with it that train Of
evils that attend all disorders of the
nervous system. The most deplorable of
these evils are without doubt the effects
on the mind. Gloom and dependency,
fear of impending danger, a poor men,
DRY and inability to concentrate the
mind are among the most prominent Of
the mental effects of Sexual Debility.
The physical ills include pains in the
head, ringing and buzzing noises in the
ears, spots before the eyes, pimples on
the face, dark circles around the eyes,
pains across the back and a generally
tired, langAid and exhausted feeling.
Sleep Is Ditch fitful and seldom refresh
ing. There are night emissions and also
hidden losses and drains that are ex-
tremely exhausting and facilitating.

which is always to be dreaded. If neg

dermining the constitution, destroying
the general health and sapping the very
foundation Of life, rendering the sufferer
a mere wreck in both body and mind,
disgusting to himself and Stunned by
all around him. 1t is not sufficient in

ment. 1t Is surprising thai IN this
enlightened age doctors continue the
barbarous painful and useless method
of cutting to remove structure.
Structure is a granular and not a mus
cular formation, and, as such, must be
dissolved and digested by chemical ac-
ton. Cutting. .dilating and Other bar
barous methods are only practiced by
the ignorant and unskilled. Doctor
Milen's treatment for structure is a pain
less one.
1t is not known or used by any other
physician in this country, being purely
his own discovery. The treatment is
easily administered and it quickly and
permanently dissolves the structure, re-
moving it root and branch, and in so
doing all reflex and associate troubles
also disappear.

Equipped as Doctor Milen is with 4
vast. varied and unusual experience in
his special field; fortified as he is with
original remedies and methods for treat
ing the diseases he makes a specially
of. it is absolutely certain that any maj
who seeks his services will not be made
the subject Of experiment. Instead he
will receive just the right treatment that
his condition demands and will be
speedily and permanently cured OF his
ailments. Doctor Milen PERSONALLY
TREATS. EVERY CASE, whether the
patient calls at his Office or consults him
by letter. He has no substitutes and
does not conduct offices in other cities.
Each case is carefully diagnosed and
studied, and each treatment is prepared
in accordance with the wants of the
patient. He invites every afflicted man
to call upon him or write him. His
counsel is free. If your case is incura-
able he will frankly tell you SO. If he
treats you he will give you a legally
binding guarantee to cure you or refund
