l I have in my possession a prescrip- ton for nervous debility, lack of viz or, weakened manhool, failing mem i ory and lame back, brought on by ex- cesses, unnatural drains or the follies of youth, that has cured many worn and nervous men right in their own homes-without any additional help or nedicine-that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and quiet ly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the pre- scfiption free of charge, in plain, 1 ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it.
 This prescription comes from a phy- sicsan who has made special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the. cure of deficient manhood and vigor fail- ure ever put together.
 l. think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak
 and discouraged with repeated failures full patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting restora- tive, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised. and SO cure him. | self at home quietly and quickly. Just drop mea line like this: .. Dr. 4. E. Robinson, 4125 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich, and I will send you a copy of
 this splendid recipe in plain ordin- ary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $500, to $500 for merely writing out a pre- scription like this.-but I send it en- tirely free.
