and Mt. Pleasant. This also caused
tie-up Of the cars bound for the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing.
Scarcely had the service been restored
at that point when a car jumped the

Ailments of Men
Happily Overcome
SUCCESSFULLY TRIED BY
MANY.

Undoubtedly the following
suggestion will work wonders
for that great class of men who,
through dissipation of their nat
ural strength find themselves
I'm their second childhood"
long before the three score and
ten allotted to lifc's pleasures
and enjoyments are reached.
1t is presumed to be infallible,
and highly efficient in quickly
restoring IN nervous exhaus-
ton" weak vitality, melan-
oholia and the functions.
BY taking it at home no man
need he the wiser as to anoth-
er's. shortcomings. and eXpen-
sive fees are avoided.
Lack of poise and equilibrium
in men is constant source Of
embarrassment even when the
public least suspects it. For the
benefit of those who want a
restoration to full, bounding
health, and all the happiness
accompanying it, let it be stat
cd that the prescription calls
only for three grain Cadomene
tablets, in sealed tubes with fun
directions for elf-administra-
ton. The tablets contain no OPT
ates or habit-forming drugs. so
a physicians prescription is not
necessary. Well stocked phar-
macies supply these tablets
which possess the most won
derful notwithstanding pow
ers imaginable. The effect of
their use is soon apparent in
new strength and nerve force.
