10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1896. THE FIELD OF SPORT. What the Oarsmen, Athletes and Cyclists Are Doing. The National Club is chagrined because or the refusal of the Supervisors to grgnt 1t a license to conduct a boxing entertain- ment at the Pavilion next month. The managers of the club state that xl they had the remotest idea of the intentions of the City Fathers they certainly would not have incurred the expense they have al- ready gone to in consummating a mntgh between Maher and Choynski. They will make another attempt to soften the hearts of the good fathers. The Olympic Club will endeavor to bring about - a second meeting bevween its ath- letic team and a team of athletes from the Multnomah Athletic Club. A return match beiween the athletes who com- tested in the Northwest will certainly at- tract a great gathering at the Olympic Club grounds. The osrsmen of this City and Stockton are haying a friendly discussion over row- ing matters. The local scullers are deter- mined to have the next regatta held on this bay, but the Stocktonians contend that the sport would be & far greater suc- cess, financially and otherwise, if held within easy reach of their city, snd thas the matter stands at present. Coursing enthusiasts are promised a great day’s sport to-morrow at Ingieside Park, where the fastest greyhounds in the State will contest. The anglers are now scattering all over the country and favorable reports from mountain streams and lakes arrive daily. Inanimate target shooting is a pastime which has become very popular within the past year; as will be seen by a reference to the department thai refers to the gun there are quite a number of club matches slated for to-morrow. Sl THE WHEELMEN. Twenty-Mille Road Race of the As- soclated Clubs. To-morrow morning at 10 o'clock the big twenty-mile race of the California As- sociated Cycling clubs will start on the San Leandro road, full particulars of which were given 1in yesterday's CaLL. The preparations for the race are com- plete and the men are all in good form. There is not as much uncertainty attend- ing the result of this race as there was re- garding the relay, and it is generally con- ceded Ly those in & position to know that the Acme Club of Oakland has the strong- est team entered and stands the best show of winning. On Sunday, July 19, the annual picnic run of the association will be held at Coy- ote Point Beach, near San Mateo, and will be attended by nearly all of the clubs be- longing to the association. At their iast meeting the Alpha (ladies’) Cycling Club elected the following officers: President, M. McCarthy; vice-president, A. Wynne; secretarv, Dorothy Pender- gast: treasurer, N. Maguire; sergesnt-at- arms, M. Madsen; captain, M. Mahony; first heutenant, L. L. Egeberg; second lieu- tenant, L. M. Lange. To-morrow the club wil! have a run to San Leandro to witness the road race. The Reliance Club Wheelmen have a pienic run to Lake Chabot on the cards for Sunday, July 2. ¢ Oscar Osen of the Olympic Cyelers is trying to arrange a match race between himself and a trotting horse, to take place at Petaluma Sunday, August 2. i James W. Coffroth of the Olympic Cy- clers, has returned from his trip to Port- land. The Olympic Club Wheelmen will held a five-mile handicap road race over the San Leandro-Haywards course Sunday, August 2. What makes the race of more than ordinary interest is the fact that J. E. Wing will ride from scratch, paced by tandems, and will endeavor to lower the world’s five-mile road record of 11:il 2-5, held by George Hamlin of the San Fran- cisco Road Club. G. A. Wahlgreen of the Cyecling West of Denver is in the City on a business trip. Mr. Wahlgreen was Lere last fall and is ¥ery popular with the club wheelmen. Charles W. Etting, secretary of the Pa- cific Cycling Club, furnishes the readers of THE CALL with the following interesting account of the run of his club on the Fourth of July to Santa Cruz: On Saturday morning, July 4, Captain Law- rence W. Pryor, Adolph Herbst, Alired Bach, Fred M. Hartter, Herbert R. Hicks and Ernest E. Erbe, members of the Pacific Cycling Club, started for Santa Cruz via Congress Springs and Boulder Creek. The start was made from Ninth and Market streets long before most people were out of bed—4:30 A. M. As guests they had Messrs. Cullen and Pinching of the Olympic Cyclers and Mr. Brady oi the Cali- fornias. Smnlns down Ninth street the route then continued to ‘Brannan, to Potrero avenue, thence to San Bruno road. The morning was somewhat cloudy but warm, and the boys rode at & good pace, reaching Sen Mateo at 6 o'clock, an hour'and a half after starting, the distance being twenty miles. From San Mateo the roads weie much better than thes had ex- perienced along the bay road. Redwood City, nine miles, was reached at 6:45, where break- fast was had. At 7:15 A. M. the start was again made, and with an easy pace Mountain View was reached at 8:30. From this point to Con- fress Springs a preity lively pace was set by * _E. Erbe, and although it was upgrade, they ail arrived at this point in good condition at 9:45. Congress Springs another stop was made, and after partaking of a hearty meal and lenty of Congress water they again started at YI:SO and moved n}: the road, to be introduced to by far the worst feature of ‘the trip, the hill to the summit, which of course to be walked, some six miles. It was extremely hot, with not a breath of air to temper the fierce heat that beat down upon them. Their con”’- tion ean better be imugined than descrivva. They reached the summit more dead than alive at 2:30 P. M., having consumed three long hours in walking the six miles. This g-n of the journey will long be remembered 'y the boys as the hardest bitof cyeling known 1in their experience. After & half hour's stop at the summit they again took to the road, which was the be- glnn!nl of & thirty-mile down-grade ride to anta Cruz. After every one had tied a piece of shrubbery to & rope atiached to his wheel to serve as & drgg, they begen moving down the grade,: being sbout 200 yards.apart, so asto avoid the dust made by the man in front. The roads in this section of the mountains were all that could be desired and the scenery was grand. +It was & few minutes after 6 o’clock when they passed Boulder Creek bound for Santa/Cruz, fourteen miles away, which was covered in & little over an hour, they finishing the eighty-seven mile trip at 7:30 p. M., fifteen hours after ing. It is needless to say that they all enjoved the journey, excepting that hil, and slep: soundly ihat night. Sundey morning a trip was made to Capiiola, where & swim in the breakers was in on}em After dinner they returned to Sauta Cruz for home. The members say that except- ing the six-mile hill from Congress Springs to the summit, the ride cannot be excelled for * fine scenery and good roads. The next meeting of the California As- sociated Cycling Clubs will be held Satur- day evening, August 1. ptain Pixley will take the members of the San Francisco Road Club to San Leandro to-morrow to witness the 20-mile road race. The Western Wheelman, a focal weekly cycling paper, has suspended publication owing to lack of patronage from adver- tisers, The provosed indoor race meet to be held at Sacramento the latter part of this month is attracting the attention of the riders of this City and across the bay, and many of them will go there to compete. The races. will be held in the new paviiion ut Fifteenth and N streets. Entry blanks are now out and the entries close Thurs- dey evening, July 16. The comvlete list of events and prizes is as follows: S Thursdey evening, July 23, 1896: Half a x.:g’lse. scrateh, professional—First, $50; second, Onemile, :cn'tch, amateur—First, unsot dia- / mond, $25; second, dismond locket, $15; l.h%‘d, pair of solid gold link cuff buttons, $10.

Captain Black has called a run of the Golden Gate Cycling Club for to-morrow to Haywards, taking the 8:30 A. m. boat and stopping at San Leandro to see tne road race. At the last meeting E. A. Kirk- patrick was elected to membership and several other applications were received. C. Unfred of the Golden ‘Gates has re- turned from his trip to San Luis Obis; rand reports the roads in that county in fair condition. P.J. Hyde, secretary of this club is working on a new proposition, which if successiul will be an innoration in the éoedfl'oudu movement. The Cycle Board of Trade will meet next Wednesday evening, July 15, at the Ramb- ler Biclorama, Tenth and Market streets, to further discuss the proposed bie street gnrade of wheelmen on Saturday evening, uly 25. The various City clubs have been invited to send delegates to the meeting, 1t being suggested that the captain of each club attend. It may be news to the Board of Trade, but I have canvassed several of the big clubs and find it is a fact that they are not wholly in sympathy with the mgvement to have a big wheelmen’s pa- rade. The individual riders themselves do not like to parade, atleast the majority do not. It is hard work to ride in_line slowly over rough. streets and cobbles, which "have, rhaps, been sprinkled, with the possi- ility of some small boy thrusting a stick through your wheel any minute. Again, the big clubs and the Board of Trade are not so thoroughly in touch since the re- fusal of the latter to stand in and help the ciubs.support the Central Park track. “We wantea their nhelp then and they refused it; now let them whistle for ours,” was the way one gentleman, the president of a club, put it. Evidently his club will not turn out. If any of the Bay City Wheelmen turn out, either, it will be a surprise to me. I have talked with over half of them on the subject; the mere mention of a cycle parade is abhorrent to them; they never did and never will &ande, except for their president, Frank . Kerrigan, in political times. But thisis only the dark side of it.. It must not be thought by the wheelmen or the clubs that they would be doing the Cycle Board of Trade any more good than they would themselves by helping to make this parade a big success. Improved streets and the lighting of the park will no doubt aid i the sale of more wheels, but what a great boon they will also be to the riders themselves. . If this parade is to be held at ali, let us make it a big success. It would be a mistake for the wheelmen to turn out few in number and half- heartedly. Iam of the opinion that just about this time a representative wheel- men's parade wouid do a world of good in showing to the people the mumber and | strength of the bicycle’s devotees. Now, if the captains of the big local clubs will each take a personal interest in the mat- ter and work it up ameng their members, no doubt the greater portion of them will turn out this time, and they certainly owe it to themselves to do so. Let the various captains attend that meeting next ‘Wednesday night and become gnthused on the desirability of the project, as 1 have. The League of American Wheelmen 1n North California now numbers just 1500, the totai number in the United States be- ing 56,000 odd. SraLpiNG. i THE ANGLERS. Bass Fishing In Russlan Rlver— Spooning for Salmon in Mon- terey Bay. Angleres who are anxious to enjoy a few days’ good bassfishing should repair to Guerneville, which is situated on the line of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad, and cast their lines in the deep pools of Russian River. Several fine bass have been taken from river recently by anglers who used live minnows. Some good results were also had from grasshoppers and large angle-worms. The evening fishing is said to be the best at the present time. Justices Carroll and Groezinger are meeting with grand success at Lake Inde- pendence catching cutthroat trout. Juse tice Carroll writes that flytishing is excel- lent. The trout he sent to his brother in this City arrived in very poor condition, Theodore Allison and Fred Gobey are enjoying first-class trout-fishing at Lake Tahoe. James Stanton, ‘father of the Raiiroad Commissioner, shipped a splendid creel of rainbow trout last Monday to Ed Ladd, the gun merchant, from Tahoe. Mr. Mullin, & well-known insurance manager, Ed ('ireanway of the Four Hun- dred, ex-Sheriff Laumeister and Samuel Daniels of the Bank of California, had great sport last week catching salmon in Monterey Bay. 3 Nothing has been heard of Alfonso Cum- ming, the champion fly-caster of Fruit- vale, Alameda County, since his depart. ure for Donner and Webber lakes. The friends of the Ki,hl-ndnr are anxiously waiting for some of those delicious trout that the angler promised vrior to his de- parture for parts unknown. - H urley, the forgetful angler, Charles Green, Chris Moorehouse and Biliy Jones left this City last Wednesday to prospect for bass in Russian River. The party had as luggage fourteen bottles of adulterated water, one barrel of condensed milk and a loaf and a balf of bread. It is hardly necessary to remark that they pro- pose having a good time regardless of bass, wind or weather. They will return to- morrow evening if nothing unforseen happens to prolong their stay on the Rllx)sshn. i 2 rofessor Horatio Terry of the San Francisco Rod and Gun Club returned from Ten-mile River, near Fort Bragg, last Monday. The professor states that camping parties can be seen along the banks of the river for miles and thai the trout are con: ntly shy and wary. Frank Marcus John Butler are at the present time “spooning” for salmon in Monterey Bay. A friend of the anglers wrote to John Lemmer yesterday to the effect that the whales and sharks have taken their departure for-other parts. The leviathans of the deep were evidently alarmed at seeing the impliments of torture which Marcus and Butler used for the capture of salmon. The writer states that the spoons the anglers used in troll- ing resembled, in a measure, the blades of a warship’s propeller, and the recent de- crease in the num of salmon and other fishes in the bay 1s attributed to the sud- den scare they received on seei t new and desperate device for uhé-. ture.

Jabez Swan, he of the lg-impots and brushes, is still at Glen Ellen, showing Judge Bahrs and other unfledged follow- ers of Isaak Walton how to take two- pound trout out of nnpromlsin?~luqklng holes to the tune of that beautiful Chinese love-ditty with which he electriries the guests of Mine Host Harrison's hostelry on every available occasion. B ATHLETIC. How Tallent, ‘the Great Mliler of the Northwest, Jumped Into Fame, Captain Gill of the Olympic Club will, like many other members of the team which recently invaded Portland, be a bit surprised to learn that Tallent, the cham- pion long-distance runner of the North- west, is a single man, 23 years of age, and not 38 years, as erroneously reported. The foliowing letter from Robert Gibson of Astoria, Or., concerning Tallent will be read with much interest by local athletes. Gibson was at one tinie a prominent mem- ber of tne Olympic Club, who had a strong predilection for outdoor athletics. The letter reads: ing Editor Call: Tallent's ascent of the der of a.hletic fame has been rapid, and the only reason why it was not accomplished atasingle bound was because he was not called upon to show his full powers. The de- velopment of the muscles, which have carried him to victory on the cinder path, was begun on the footbail field four years ago, previous to which time he Lad shown no indications of either speed or endurance. Since boyhood he has been an ardent admirer of boxing, which, with rowing and hunting, formed his chief sources of outdoor amusement and exercise for & number of years. In 1891, when association football was intro- duced in Astoris by the football club, Tallent was quickly interested and seldom missed a practice game for two or three years. Being an enthusiast and popular in 1892 he was elected captain of the team, and while never a brilliant player displayed such remarkable staying powers that he attracted the attention of older athletes, who predicted a brilliant future for him. He made his first appearance in running clothes on July 4, 1894, partici- pating in several events on a'ficld day given y the Astoria Football Club. He only suc- ceeded on that occasion in i place in & 220-yard nurdle rac ter he again competed ia indoor games held 1 by his club and won both the half and mile races. A marked improvement was noted in his galt then, and then he was induced soon after- d to train for the Multnomah Club’s slm s in 1894. His holiow victory in both the istance events then and the consummate ease with which he romped away from his oppo- | ments caused many spectators of the games to express the opinion that the Astorian was a sringer,” and the handicapper, who allowed Tallent sixty yards iu the half and a like dis- tance in the mile, fell in for a generous meas- ure of criticism. Tallent was well known, however, by many members of the Multnomah Club, all of whom vouched for the fact that he was only & novice. His only defeat was at Tacoma last year when John Sutton, probably the best midale- distance man that ever donned a shoe in Cali- fornia, took him over the first 440 yards of the hali-mile rece in 57 seconds and left him to “fight it out” with two Tacomans, one of whom succeeded in beating Tallaut out for first place. The former Berkeley man had en- tered the race solely as “runner-up” for a clubmate and the Astorian’s condition was not such as to enable him to successfully co) with fresh men after nelofll!ins a mile in 4:40. His later victories are still fresh in the minds of all coast athletes. R. GIBSON. It can be safely said that the Olympic Club of this Ci‘il will offer tempting in- ducements to the Muitnomsh Club to send a team of athletes to this City in Septem- Club in a series of outdoor games. pEELES E1 THE GUN. — Sportsmen Must Be Careful Where They Shoot Deer and Doves. The trap-shooters are now enjoying a great feast of prosperity, so to speak. Each Sunday several club shoots are held at different points within easy reach of this City, and, judging from the enthusiasm manifested, it would appear that inani- mate-target shooting has come to stay. The Reliance, Olympic, Empire and En- cinal gun clubs will hoid contests to-mor- row at their respective shooting grounds in Alameda. Tue Sportsmen’s Protective Association will meet to-morrow 2t the grounds of the Soutn End Gun Club, near Colma. The club has offered a mber of valuable prizes to be contested for and a first-class day’s outing is promised ali those who will attend. A seriss of pool-shooting events will take place immedmtal; foliow- ing the association's shoot. The San Francisco and San Mateo Electric Rail- way will take sportsmen direct to the grounds. On the 18th inst. the Alameda Sports- Tallent, the Champion Mile Runner of th land, Or., Who Defeated Dave Brown, at the Recent Meeting Held in e Multnomah Athletic.Club of Port- Champion of the Stanford University, Portland. Time, 4:31 1.5, ber to meet the champions of the Olympic |- men’s Association will meet at Alameda Point, and on the 19th inst. the Lincoln Club will shoot on its own grounds. The California Wing Club will” endeavor to hold a live-bird shoot at San Bruno after having two postponements. Reports from the interior stated that doves are stiil nesting, and many sports- men have reirained from shooting at them until next month. Judge McKenna and a friend returned a few days ago dis- gusmd, because they found nearly all old irds which were then caring for their young. After shooting some birds they ut up their guns with a resolution to re- rain from any further dove-shooting un- til the young birds are able to look out for themselves. How many sportsmen can there be found among the fraternity, who go into the fields in quest of doves, who will emulate the act of Judge McKenna? Under the provisions of the general law the dove season opened on July 1(a month too early) and will close on February 15. Sportsmen should not forget that the Su- pervisors have the power to shorien the season, and this has been done in some of the counties. The deer season, under the general law, has been changed by ordi- nances in several counties of tue State, as will be seen by the following table of changes: Alameda—Deer, July 20 to September 2. Alpine—Deer, September 2 to October 15. Amador—Deer, September 1 to October 1. Butte—Doves, July 15 to February 15. Colusa—Deer, August 15 to October 15. Contra Costa—Deer, July 20 to Sepiember 2.

Stockton and San Francisco Fight- ing for the Annual Regatta. Considerable dissatisfaction is prevalent among the rowing fraternity at present relative to making the regatta to be held at Stockton during the Native Sons’ cele- bration on November 9 a championship affair. The Stockton Athletic Association ap- plied for a sanction for the regatta over two months ago and asked to have the affair made a championship event, but the P. A. A. anticipate a big regatta on the bay here during fiesta week, and as Stock- ton has bad two regattas this year efforts are going to be brought to bear to have the championship races alloted to this City during the carnival. A 8. J: Pembroke of the Alameda Koating and Swimming Club was present at one of the meetings of the Chamber of Com- merce held recently and pointed out to them the advisability of setting aside an 'nrpmprhu sum for a fiesta regatts, and his efforts_received commendable consid- eration. He now feels certain that a re- gatta will be part of the athletic pro- gramme of the carnival. In the event that the 9th of September regatta will not be a championship affair it will undoubtedly be one of the greatest uatic events ever held on this coast. he clubs are fast developing new mate- rial, and many new crews that have never before been seen in a race will take part in. the Admission-day regatta. This will be a grain of comfort to the spectators, for it has long been a prevailing feature of re- attas that the same men are always tak- ng part and the same men always win- ning and losing. At the Stockton realm on July 4 several new men participated in the races, and as & consequence some of the old-timers were ignominiously defeated. George Phelan, the latest addition to the rowing world, will certainly make his rowing prowess known in all future repattas. Efe won the junior outrigger-skiff race at the Stockton regatta so ndily that he is already looked uvon as the coming coast cham- pion. Phelan was the only one out of the Oriel Club’s many entries in the Stockton races who brouglit victory to his club. The Stockton people feel rather sore over the defeat of their new barge in its first race, but the barge, in the opinion of many, is not what 1t is cracked up to be, and if lnythini‘ the Stockton crew that rowed it on the Fourth were the equal in every cular of the South End crew that defeated them. It can be, therefore, seen that the contest was an equal test of home production against Eastern manu- facture and home production came out on R 'he barge is altogether aissimilar to the home boats. Itisshorter sitslower in the water and the gunwaie is perfecily straight. The bottom of the boat resembles a wedge. The stern is drawn in almost to a point, the bow is rather full and the stem comes straight down until it reaches the water, when it begins to taper off grad- nally. In the home barges the stem begins to taper off from the gunwale and resem bles a yacht with cutaway bows, but the stem of the Stockton boat is almost 8 3 The boat is not by any mwean: - some craft. he 3«::’ p' :.hv':u ,and the knowing ones say she -fi Aug.

The South End junior crew, which de- feated the Stocktonian oarsmen, is cer- tainly deserving of great credit. After passing a sleepless night before the race, owing to lack of accommodations on the steamers, the boys won from the Stockton amest races ever rowed on the coast. e Stockton crew led them from the start and at the stake were two lengths ahead, but their new boat couldn’t turn as fast as the South End barge, and before the Stockton boat was half around the staxe the Soutn End boys were well on their way home, rowing a beautiful stroke. To-morroy at 10 o’clock on the Alameds estuary the losers of last Sunday’s regatta will meet for a medal donated by S.J. Pembroke; the jeweler. Dr. Dennis and Fred Ayers will meet again and Hadcock and Webb will meet to settle first and second place.- A barge race for a silver cup will alsorke place. All the rooms of the Oly. c Club boat- house arenow being occupied by members, who are making it their residence for the summer. Rodgers, the boat-builder, nas completed their four-oare. shell and a crew will soon be put into practice, as it is the club’s intention to take abvantage of the low rate to Portland and the Sound cities and enter a crew in some of the Tegattas. 'hey would like to see some of the other local clubs take to shell racing, as barges are not recognized in the East, and if shell rowing was encouraged here California may be in a position to send a crew East every year. e McElroy intends to get the Olympic crew in practice again for the Admission day regatia. It will be the same crew that rowed at El Campo on May 30. S N R THE BOXERS. National Club in a Quandary, Occl- .dental Club Happy. The National Athletic Club received a smash on the vulnerable point yesterday from the Board of Supervisors which stunned it badly. It applied, as of old, for a permit to give an athletic exbibition in August, but Supervisor King winked at his friend Benjamin, who 1u turn winked at Dunker who jumped to the center of the ring, and with one mighty bound ae administered an upper-cut which com- pletely floored the National Club. It wasa quick and spirited contest, which lasted only one round. It is hardly neces- sary to say that the managers of the club expected to meet such an able opponent in Dunker, who was selected to put on the finishing touches. Although the club has not yet fully recovered from the effects of the blow, another effort will be made to bring about a return match, and it goes without saying that it will be in better condition for' a hard and successful fight the next time it faces the mighty muscles of the Cits Fathers. Joe King says that he will train for the struggle at his old favorite resort, Gold Mountain. Dunker will, in all probability, put on ihe finishing touches in Silver Can- yon. Benjamin is uncertain as to the lace he will seldet for a training station, g\n his friends of the board hint that Ben will unfold his tent, like the Arab, and nie away under cover ot night to a favorite resort which is known only to himself and a certain coterie of friends. It issale to say, however, that he will return in magnificent condition to meet a hard battle if his opponent proves worthy of his steel. The Occidental Club is on Easy street at present. The Supervisors have taken pity on it owing to its first exhibition, which, unfortunately, terminated unfavorably. A permit will be granted to the Occidental managers to give an exhibition in August, and in all probability Young Mitchell, its president, will negotiate for a ten-round contest between Maher and Choynski. The Olympic Club 1s figuring on giving an entertainment on the evening of the 81st inst.

Sexual and Nervous Power, Strong Mind and Body Can Be Renewed in Weak, Failing Men by Dr. Sanden’s Eleotric Belt. If You Have Tried All Other Remedies and Failed to Get Cured, Do Not Despair. There Is a Cure for You. Only Spare Tim= to Investigate It. It Is Certain. Abso- lute. Read the Book ‘ Three Ola of Men.”” This is the age of physical perfection. It is also the age of physical imbecility. While this man avails himself of every opportunity to develop and expand his manly vigor, that one is éaassmg his chances to improve his mind and body, and easily falls into the excesses which are always in his path, to the destruction of his vital powers. 5 How great is your admiration of a San- dow! A Hercules of physical manhood. The very foundation of this physical manhood is nerve, or vital force. It is easily wasted by excesses or early inais- cretion. Manhood Quickly Restored. WESTMINSTER, ORANGE CO., May 18, 1896. Dr. A. T. Sanden—DEAR SIik: The Belt which Ibought from you some time ago hascured me. My disease was seminal weakness of five years’ standing. I had emissions on an aver- age of five times a week,and many times three in one night. Iused ail kinds of drugs and patent medicines, and was, when I begaa your treatment, in a very weak condition, both from my trouble and the many different drugs I had taken. Assoon asIapplied your Belt I found relief from my losses, in_three weeks a general improved condition, and I am now en- tirely cured.. Icannot say 100 much in praise of your Beit. Yours truly, J. M. HUBBARD. No man can attain physical or muscular perfection while there is any want of vital force. It is the grit, the vim, the ‘“‘ginger” which supports the powers of endurance, and the command of latent physical strength. Every man knows himself. He knows where he is weak. Knowingit, if he .is true to himself, he will try to recover the vital power he has wasted. The source of all physical power is in the nerves. The life of the nerves is elec- tricity. So says science. Man, if you lack any of the elements of manhood, will you barter your future happiness any furtba- by letting this chance pass? Be one 4 the progressive men. Perfect your man- hood, physically, sexually, mentally. “A great change has come over me, and I feel better than I ever did. I feel in such good health that I cut about a cordof wood a day and don’t feel tired at night.” So writes Mr. JOHN W. PHILLIPS, Colfax, Cal., June 29. A steady, even flow of electricity into your body for several liours at night will bring new life to the nerves, and from them to the whole body. The brain will be re- freshed, the nerves strong, quick and ac- tive, and every organ of your body will expand and develop in force and vitality, It will, in three months, renew perfect manly vigor in every part. Itis as good for women as for men. A ypermanent cure is guaranteed or money refunded in ull weaknesses of men. A vocket edition of the celebrated electro- medical work, “Three Classes of Men,”’ illustrated, is sent free, sealed, by mail upon application. Every young, middle- aged or old man suffering the slightest ‘weakness should read it. It will point out an EASY, SURE. AND SPEEDY WAY TOREGAIN STRENGTH AND HEALTH WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE HAS FAILED. Be a man. Lay aside fprejudlce caused by the broken promises of quaackery. Ge: the book and write to the men who volun- tarily offer their names. Then actas your own judgment dictates. Don’t put it off. Write or call to-day. Address SANDEN ELECTRIC CO., 630 Market Street, San Francisoco, te Palace Hotel. Office hours; 8 4 X (@ B0 E s Sundays, 10 to 1. Consultation Free and Invited.
