AM the discoverer of a treatment which
will restore TO men their Nigor and
Vitality when once lost. There are at
least q hundred others advertising this very
same t~hing-and, as most Weak Men kno
who have tried these cures. the results are
not at all satisfactory. 1 have thought
many weary days and nights how l could
demonstrate to a man that my treatment
the Sir John Hampton Vital Restorative
would cure him., and at last I have decided
to make this proposition to all men needing
my treatment: / will send a prescription
free and a full trial treatment of my Re
storative to any man writing. for 80 cents.
and prepay the treatment to him. Now. 1
would just as soon give the trial treatment
free, but l have tried it. and found that
every curiosity seeker in the country writes
to me-men who never did nor never will
take any physicians treatment If they have
to pay for it. Now. this idea of mine will
effectually do away with that class. for the
charge of 90 cents bars them out. Every
treatment l send out for this amount costs
me Sl.50. and / figure my loss at just 81
each time l send a man the trial treatment.
l do not send just a day or two'S treat
ment, but send enough to perfectly cure you
or to demonstrate that l have a Restorative
which VIII cure. After you have taken the
test treatment you can send to me and l
will charge you a very reasonable sum for
a cure-something less than the druggist
would charge you for the medicine called
for in the prescription. or you can take
the prescription to your family druggist and
have it filed. just as you choose. If the
Restorative is ordered from me. l make a
small profit-if you get 1t from the druggist,
l lose a dollar for my trouble in demon
strating to you what a cure for Seminal
Weakness really is.

a gross imposition on the public by hav-

early developed an aptitude for learning and

He was a pronounced socialist and friend

and thrown into prison at Moscow.
His sentence was five years in SIBERIA.
There he had said he was not closely

England. From there he reached this coun-
