SEXUAL DEBILITY.

When a man has lost his manly pow
er, that one great and pre-eminent at
tribute Of his sex, when he realizes the
everlasting disgrace that attaches to an
impOtent man. he is overpowered with
q feeling Of shame and dependency.
Life loses its charms and everything
looks dark and gloomy to him. When
this condition exists he should seek the
aid and counsel Of a physician, one who
can by skillful, scientific treatment re-
store to him his lost power and enable
him to once more become a man among
men, and to cause him to feel that he is
a manly man in all that the term i'm
plies.

The St. Louis Republic., 1901-02-24

Doctor Nlilen. the master specialist In
the treatment of all sexual diseases OF
men. is one of the best types of the
modern, skilled, scientific physician. In
seeking his services, sick and suffering
mankind can feel assured beyond all
doubt that they are taking no chances,
are making no experiment. When Doctor
Milen tells a patient that he can cure
him, he never fails. That Is the chief
secret Of his marvellous success. He has.
from the beginning of his career as a
physician. been constantly engaged In
scientific research, and his experiments
have resulted in remarkable number
Of wonderful and valuable discoveries
in medicine, by which he has been able
to MASTER ALL SEXUAL DISEASES
OF MEN, and to promptly and perma.
nently cure all ailments of this char
acter, where other physicians failed to
give the slightest relief.
Fame has come to Doctor Milen be-
cause it is deserved. He is an enthusiast
in his profession. and his great scientific
discoveries are merely another verifica
ton Of that oft-made assertion that
every great discovery is the triumph OF
enthusiasm. Hosts Of grateful and ap-
preciative patients gladly and willingly
give daily testimony not alone to his
remarkable skill in curing disease. but
also to his kindly, generous and sym
pathetic nature, characteristics that are
the most pronounced and ennObline
traits Of all great physicians. Doctor
Milen invites every man who is sick OF
ailing to consult him. He makes nc
charge whatever for consultation and
will give you a frank opinion of your
case. II he can cure you he will say so
and II your case is incurable he will tel
you. Should you desire his aid and ser
vices to regain your health. you will find
his charges to be most reasonable. while
his skill n such that q cure Is absolutely
certain II you place yourself under his
treatment

DOCTOR mILEN.

All who suffer from this blight upon
their lives can be speedily and perma-
nently cured by Doctor Milen. His
method Of treatment and the medicines
used are original with him and cannot
be obtained elsewhere. They are the
result of many years Of constant study,
research and experiment.
The effect of the treatment is magical
1t imparts the fire Of youth and the vigor
and strength of healthy physical man
hood 1t renews vitality and gives new
life and energy. 1t inspires ambition
and confidence and creates the will to
do and the power to perform the most
difficult problems of life. It causes the
eye to sparkle and the glow Of health
to appear In the face. The elastic,
springy step returns, and there is that
self-satisfied feeling that is the natural
result Of sound physical health and
mental brightness.
Weak, Aching Backs Are Not Caused
BY Kidneys, but Result from Dis.
sassd Prostate.
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 SEN
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 Milen'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
and permanently.

Dead Body Found By His Wife

Mind Unbalanced

Crofton, Ky, May Mr.. George
Armstrong, a we'll known citizen Of
this place and formerly tobacco
dealer, committed suicide at an
early hour this morning.
He arose about 4 o'clock and
went to his stable. AS he did not
return at the breakfast hour his
wife instituted a search for him and
found his dead body suspended
from a beam in the stable. He had
tied one end of the rope around
large beam in the loft and loop
was made of the other end and
placed around his neck. The
weight of the body had stretched
the rope and his toes were touching
the ground. He had evidently died
of strangulation. Mr.. Armstrong
had not intimated that he intended
to commit the act of self destruction
and it is believed that he was SUIT
fer:ng from mental alteration.
Besides a widow he leaves sever
al children and and grand children.
He was 40 years old Some years
