10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1896. PREPARING FOR EARNEST WORK, A Great Christian En- deavor Gathering Last Night. THE BIG CONVENTION Delegates From Washington Tell of the Volume of Work to Be Done. THE LOCAL SOCIETIES BUSY. The First Great Mass-Meeting Arouses Enthusiasm—The Speeches. The Central Methodist Episcopal Church was crowded to the doors last night when the thirty-eighth quarterly convention of the Golden Gate Christian Endeavor Union was opened by President James A. Wiles. The entire front of the auditorium was handsomely decorated with National colors and flowers. Two beautiiul flags were suspended from the top of the organ- pipes were caught upon the sides in festoons; the large banner of the union hung in the center, over which was sus pended a large C. E. monogram. The pulpit was covered with a huge flag which extended from one side to the other. On the left above the gallery was the Central Christian Endeavor banner. On the right hung the Union Junior banner. From the gallery was hung the letters “San Francisco, '97.” “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” “To the Work,” “True Hearted, Whole Hearted,” and *“The Banner of the Cross” were sung during the opening. Henry J. McCoy of the Y. M. C. A. read the eighth chapter of Romans and led in prayer, after which the choir rendered “He Shall Come Down Like Rain.” Miss M. C. Lanquist made a report as secretary, in which she said: The thonght uppermost in our minds for some time bas been “San Francisco, '97"— what it will be arzd what it will mean to ns— ana our hearts are glad with expeetation now that the great convention will be ours. Enough cannot be said in praise of our com- mitiee of '97, for its untiring zeal; laboring early and late that each day and week might increase the amount to reach our aim of $25,000. To the citizens and corporations of our City, who have so generously aided the Christian Endeavor cause, we, the Endeavorers of Golden Gate Union, tender our unbounded thanks. We are now their debtors, inasmuch as we owe Rev. William Rader. to them all the information we can give con- cerning our work from now on. We do not want the impression to go broad- cast that all we do is to hold meetings of vari- ous sorts, but we want them to know of the practical workings of our societies in the jails and hospitals—our efforts for temperance, Christian citizenship and missions. In order to do this the press committee shouid receive pews from each society regularly. They can- not furnish news unless the societies first send news to them. Would that your responsibility could be mede very piain to you on this point, as this branch of our wogk will be one of the most important during the months to come. Our fellowship committee propose to keep all societies, especially the weaker ones, under its watchful eye; and in the future will en- deavor to enlist the societies in the work of visiting other societies, and the committee hopes that any calls for the sending of visitors will meet with a hearty response from the so- cieties called upon. Our Juniors and Intermediates will be our able helpers during the coming year, as the Teport sent to Washington for the year July, 1895 toJuly 1896 wiil show; new- societies organized since the Boston convention—nine Juniors, five Intermediates, six Senior. They sre shoulder to shoulder with us mow in number of societies. Our Intermediates car- ried off the State banuer at San Jose for the largest increased county membership. Our work among the seamen is most en- coursging, eighteen having signed the Chris- tisn Endeavor pledge in the last three montbs. S:x meetings have been held on British ships and five on Government vessels; these, together with the Monday evening meetings and the socials given by the various socities, tend to make life on shore pleasan t and profitable to our sailor Endeavorers. Our lsunch fund has reached $342 10. Com- iittees having this iv charge are actively at work, and hope to largely increase this sum, as the launch would be a great help in our missionary work on the bay. Our committees have all been actively engaged during the past three months along routine lines. Now that the vacation season is drawing to a close, and our members are returning from the mountains and scashgre, let us take hold of our work for 1897 with renewed energy; let us zive to our Master the very best. See that your society is well represented at all the future executive committee meetings; matters of great importance to you will be contirually coming up, and you should keep vourselves informed and ready for any and all service. A few days ago God called into his oresence one who hes labored earnestly and lovingly, gatbering the little ones into his fold—Mrs. C. H. Patchett, our superintendent of junior work. Her life was one of devotion to her Master, he who has said: “Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them ot, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” The treasurer, C. M. Whitney, reported $100 22'on hand at the last convertion; re- ceived since, $37 33; expenditures for the quarter, $108 55; balance on hana at present, $28 45. Miss Cromley read a memorial to Mrs. ‘| was most notable, as was the singing. il ‘e \ WA il 790 L3 v | g 9 = ) . THE MEETING OF THE ENDEAVORERS IN THE CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH. Charles Patchett, the junior superintend- ent, who recently died. A band of Chinese girls from the Pres- byterian Mission Home sang a song en- titled, **We are Juniors,” to the tune of “‘Pracious Jewels,”” which was heartily ap- plauded. 3 Rev. William Rader was greeted with clapping of hands. He said: We have been to Washington and returned with the world. We met the Endeavorer and he is ours. Itisremarkable how a Christian Endeavor convention will transform a city. The stores and buildings were covered with bunting. Washington is a great city; outside of Ban Francisco 1t is the greatest city in the United States. Into this city we marched 40,- 000 strong and captured everybody except President Cleveland and Dr. Talmadge. They escaped. In the armory, on Pennsylvania ave- nue, we had the Califormia booth. where we had on exhibition & little common bear, Rolla Watt and Dr. Keliey all of the time. Every- body that came near it was loaded with litera- ture furnished by the committee of '97 and Southern Pacific Company together. Now 1 want you to see the White Lot. Itisa lot that George Washington saved for this convention. Itisthe back yard of the United States’ domain, It was covered by three large tents. The California delegation was harbored in a Methodist church, and that is enough for you to know that they were royally treated. He then spoke of the opening session of the convention as reported by the press at the time. He related his experience in finding the Metropolitan Methodist Church. As many of the churches are known as Metropolitan, he failed to find the right one at the right time. Of the Good Citizenship meeting he said: Never before 1n the history of thé Christian worid has such a sight been seen as on the second night when twenty-two churches were filled to overflowing with the best of our land. Then it was that the noted McArthur made a most notable address. The visit to the Washington monument Every- where you went you heard the sweet strains of hymns. In the elevators, in hotels, on streetcars, at the depots and on the streets whenever two or three Endeavorers got to- gether. . He then applauded B. Fay Milis’ burn- ing words of condemnations of the Chris- tian nations for not interfering in the Armenian affairs, and was greeted with applause. He closed with some jocular remarks about the various denominational gather- ings in Washington and a pretty simile of the gathering in California, 1897, which was applauded roundly. “Send Out Thy Light”” was sung by the choir, after which Guy W. Campbell, president of the California State Union, spoke upon “State for ’97.” He said: Iam honored, indeed, to speak to this great union that is to be honored with such a gagher- ing as that which comes to us next year. The whole State rejoices with you in this good news. California honors San Francisco in Professor James A. Wiles. looking to you to uphold the good name of the State. It was my good fortune to go to Washington. When we took the train at Chicago we were glad to find it loaded with Iowa delegates. The news soon spread through the train and 160 strong they marched back into our car and sang their songs. Then they called for & speech. When we bid them wei- come to the Golden Gate they went wild with enthusiasm. Wherever we appeared on the streets we were as great an attraction as a band of Sioux Indians. I expect to see more visitors in San Francisco next year than ever came to California in years combined. His remarks were received with contin- ued applause. Dr. E. E. Kelley, an State ex-president and who has attended two ianternational conventions, was introduced to speak on “City for '97.”” * He had just returned from his Washington trip.s He said: We want you to be enthusiastic. We want the greatest convention ever held. Our peo- ple are known for their enthusiasm and we want to spread it to those who visit us. We wish you, in your most enthusiastic way, to write letters to your friends in the Eastto come to California nextyear. We do notex- pect to bring as many people to this City as to Boston and Washington, for they have thou- sanas all arcund them. We will expect our young people to work on committees. A chorus of 4000 voices is one of the committees, but only one. Every one of us must be ready for work, hard work. We know that San Francisco needs a great awak- ening spiritually, and we can expect agreat moral move as the outcome of this great gathering. There is not & man, woman or cnild in the United States that does not ex- pect to come to Californiasome day. We want you to enlarge your expectations. After a song, “Arm of the Lord, Awake,” by the choir, J. 8, Webster, ex- president of the Golden Gate ;Union and a E. E. Kelley. member of the ‘‘committee of '97,” re- ported the work accomplished by the committee thus far and what had to be done to make the coming convention a success. He said: No church in this City has furnished so much material for the committee of '97 as this Methodist church. Dr. Dille is a member of the trustees of the United Society. Rolla Watt, one of the leaders in the work, is one of the piliars here. Least year we kad the grand- est president of the State that we ever had, and it was Dr. Kelley, another member and one of the hardest workers in securing the necessary $25,000 pledge; and Thomas Hodge, ‘who bore the fruit of the battle. We decided to go to Washington with a pledge of $25,000 subscribed, something that had never been done before, but still we lacked one thing—it was a question of railroad rates; and when we did go we carried a pledge that not only carried conviction to the trustees, but. gave satisfaction to all of the Endeavorers. This we succeeded in doing, and when we got the pledge in Washington for next year there Was no string to it. This year's work will be a year of educa- tion, and we expect to advertise California as she has never been before. Marny of the mer- chants knew nothing of the work or conven- tions ever held. But be 1t said to their glory that they turned in and helped us as mer- chants never helped in any other convention city. Their subscriptions were the largest ever made by business men in any place. I want to call your attention to one subscription of $50 that might have escaped your attention. It was from the Simpson Memorial Epworth League, and goes to show the good fellowship existing between all of our young people. Dr. Dille then read a telegram from Rolla Watt, who was absent in Butte, Mont. He then led a consecration meeting, in which he pleaded for a spirited: prepara- tion. This ended the programme, which was followed by an informal affair in the Sunday-school rooms. PICTURES AND SKETCHES. A Fine Displav to Be Made at the State Fair, Sacramento. John A. Stanton, superintendent of the art department of the State Fair to be held at Sacramento, is making a special effort to display a collection of good paint- ings and interesting sketches. He announces that pictures must be ready for transport to Sacramento b; Tuesday, August 25. The circular ad- dressed to artists says: No expense will accrue to you, and your pictures will pe taken from your studio or resi- dence, transported to Sacramento and re- turned to you free of charge. The greatest care will be taken in the handling of frames and the packing of victures will be attended to by experienced packers. Prizes, consisting of gold and sflver medalsa nd cash premiums amounting to over $700 will be distributed by tiox waa - no has been a committee of competent art judges to all those deserving consideration for the merits of their respective works. (Artists residing in Oakland or its imme- diate vicinity may send their pictures to M. L. Smith'& Sons, 1158 Broadway. Art- ists in Los Angeles may send pictures to Sanborn, Vail & Co, 133 South Spring | street, Los Angeles. These firms will at- tend to the shipping of pictures to and from the exhibition. Further informa- tion can be obtained by addressing Mr. Stanton, 659 Clay street, San Francisco. The State Fair will open September 1 and close September 19. THE TWO FIGHTING JOES McAuliffe and Choynski Are Now Talking Fisti- cuffs Two Entertainments Will Be Given This Month by the Clubs. The pugilists bave grown lired of wait- ing for fat purses and are now talking loud and hard. A few days azo Joe Choynski said that he would meet Van Buskirk and Jeffries in one evening and after having disposed of the former he would tackle the Los Angeles lad, and failing to stop both he would not ask a cent, but in case he whipped the two new aspirants to the heavy-weight championship he must re- ceive the entire purse. As soon as Joe McAuliffe learned of Choynski’s sweeping challenge he boarded a Mission-street car for this City and %:flckly hunted up one of the managers of the National Club and declared : “I understand that Choynski is looking for bi§ game, and has offered to stop two men in one night. Now, while I am in this City Choynski will have no occasion to meet two. men in one night, and if he isreally willing to fight a man in his own class I am ready at any time to accommo- date him, or any other heavy-weight pu- gilist, for that matter.” ‘When McAuliffe’s statement was made known to Choynski little Joe smil- d, and after giving the proposition some thought he sent word to the managers of the Na- tional Club that he would fight McAuliffe under the auspices of any club thut would *‘hang up” a good purse and a good win- ner’s end. The National Club may clinch this match to-day, provided that McAulffe is not held down by the Occidental Club by contract. He has been training for three weeks under the supervision of Professor Barney Farley of ‘‘wonderful-discovery” fame, and, according to all wcounu%e is getting to look like a man. Young Mitchell, the manager of the Occidental Club, states that McAuliffe has signed articles to fight Patrick Francis Slavin 1n_September, and, if so, it is doubtful if Choynski will be afforded an opportunity of measuring arms with Big Joe until Slavin will have another chance of duplicating that punch which lowered the colors of the tanner in the presence of the sportive aristocrats of a London club. At any rate, if the two casinos—big and little — cannot meet within the roped square they will have a first-class opening for unlimited rounds of ‘“‘chin music’’ for some weeks to come. _The National Club will hold its next ex- hibition at the pavihon on the evening of the 22d inst. It has matched Billy Galla- gher and George Green and J. Stensler and- Billy Smith. The Occidental Club will give its next entertainment at Woodwards Hall on the evening of the 28th inst. The only match 1t has consummated so far is a ten-round bout between “Spider” Kelly and Gus Herget. The “Spider,” who is a good angler, is training in Niles Canyon and has pike for breakfast, ainner an supper. . e Labor and Labor Laws. At & meeting of the Labor Bureau Associa- tion last evening the subject of State laws to govern and regulaie lapor and wages was dis- cussed. It was decided to ask of State Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald copies of the bills he is preparing for presentation to the next Legis- lature. Tnese wiil be aiscussed by the associa- tion and such suggestions made that_the asso- ciation decides will be of benefit to the labor- ing classes. At & recent meeting of the new Paper-hang- ers’ Union it was deeided to close the charter on next Frid. % W Iation fou '":{ bee'ig.m‘ Thereafter the ini- e e e New Official Railroad Map. The new official railroad map of Californis, published under the auspices of the Railroad Commission, is now ready for distribution.

The Young Mechanic Paralyzed While Removing a Busi- ness Sign. BAD INSULATION THE CAUSE. The® Electric Current Bored Holes Through the Sole of One of His Shoes. Henry Heinze, a mechanic, about 20 years of age, livizg at 412 McAllister street, was almost killed yesterday aiternoon, a few minates after 4 o’clock, by coming in contact with an improperly insulated electric-light wire. He was preparing to unscrew a sign fastened just below a second-story window at 630 Market street. When attempting to steady himself on the window-ledge he touched one of two large wires leading from a high telegraph pole down to the top of the ledge and thence into the stores below. Instantly there was a bright flash, and as Heinze’s companion, who was standing near the express wagon waiting below, T I e N )7 y ;m/snlml] % i A]II’”/II//A/// 7 7/ i SCENE OF THE ELECTRIC-WIRE licans of the Fortieth District in the com- ing campaign and their final act on the 3a day of November, Colonel J. P. Roberts was introduced and at onca launched 1nto the subject of protection and the false issue of the conglomeration of Democracy and Populists on the silver question. From an array of statistics the speaker showed how the country had prospered under Republican rule, and how during the past four years, when the Democracy had absolute control of the reins of the Government, everything took a marked shrinkage. The tariff bill as introduced 'and cham- pioned through the Houre of Representa- tives by William McKi.ley, was fully explained by the gifted orator. Heshowed that the McKinley tariff bill was nota bill to increase taxation, but rather a bill to equalize taxation, by which the rich men of the Nation were eumselled to contribute their share of the burden of supporting the Government. 2 ‘Wilson’s ad valorem bill was shown to be one to foster and encourage perjury by ersons importing goods into_the United gtntes. all of which had the effect of run- ning the country into debt. J. F. Gawthorn, a promising young ora- tor, showed that the coinage of silver at 16 to 1 was not a measure that would bring prosperity to the mechanic and the labor- ing man. He questioned the sincerity and honesty of such silver men as Frank Newlands, who owned silver mines’in Nevada, and W. M. Stewart, who had a special clause insefrtea in all his mortgage transactions— to be paid in zold coin. Colonel T. V. Eddy delivered an address covering the entire issues of the campaign and winding up with an eloquent tribute to William McKinley. Each of the speakers was rewarded by rounds of applause, which piainly showed that the Republicans of the Richmond District were in full accord with the senti- ments uttered. i Several members entertained the rheet- ing with songs and recitations after the speakers had concluded. YOUNG REPUBLICANS. They Take an Interest in the Money Question—New Quarters. The Young Men’s Republican Club held an enthusiastic meeting last night in Justice Kerrigan’s courtroom. There was alarge attendance and President Spencer was 1n the chair. A rousing address was delivered by C. W. Kyle on the money question. He said: “‘The stamp of the Government I uu/u%;;l{// it . . - simply certifies to the amount and fine- ness of the coins impressed by it. Labor creates all values. It is the only means by which commer- ial values may be created. Labor only <ks employment and then that it be paid n a dollar equal to the best dollar under he sun—a doliar everywhere and always worth 100 cznts. “Where one product of labor is ex- hanged for another product costing the ssme amount of labor to produce, labor is ot cheated. When paid for in any cur- 0/ //////% L ACCIDENT ON MARKET STREET. looked up he saw the boy’s body double up. The hand upon the wire jerked as ii by a great effort to free itself and then it relaxed its grip. The body fell back be- hirnd a large sign on the edge of the cor- gice doubled up in an apparently lifeless eap. So roughly was the unfortunate boy handled by impetuous hands eager only to drag him 1nto the building that his face was battered against tbe sill. When he 'was brought 'ifi:in and placed upon the floor his nose was bleeding from the care- lessness of his rescuers; one palm was badly blackened and burned and one shoe burned completely through the sole. A lnrfa crowd had collected in front of the building. Heinze was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital and attended by Dr. Stice. His left hand was black and swollen and burned to the bone. There was also a large blis- ter on his right foot, and u hole in the sole of his boot showed how sirong the cur- rent had been to burn clear through the thick heavy sole. “I am a mechanic,” said Heinze last night, ‘in the employment o1 the Waverley Bicycle Company, 630 Market street. esterday afternoon I went to the first floor to take down the wooden sign. 1 ovened the window and stepped upon the sill. 1 had just reached out to unfix the sign when I accidentaly got hold of an electric wire which ran alongside the sign un- known to me. The shock was terrible. I felt as if the whole of my body was shriv- eling up, and the pain was horrible. Although I say it myself, I am strong, and I tug and tugged to get my hand away from the wire but couldn’t. [ felt my senses leaving me, and made one desperate effort, and then I became unconscious and fell against the window sill. I suppose my right foot had pressed against the cther electric wire, ana that is how my boot was burned. ~ “I remained uncoascious for over an hour, but feel all right now. The insula- tion on the wire was worn almost through and if they had been without that thin covering I would not now be alive. I con- sider I have had a most miraculous es- cape and I mean to see if something can't be done to compel the electric companies to keep their wires properly insulated.” LAUREL REPUBLICAN CLUB An Enthusiastic Meetinglat Coak- ley’s Hall on Geary Street. Coakley’s Hall on Geary street and Cen- tral avenue was crowded last night with the Republicans of *‘Laurel Republican Club.” President George R. Fletcher of the Fortieth District presided. After afew preliminary remarks from the president on the duties of the Repub- rency worth less then 100 centson the dol- lar, the loss falls upon labor. ““The labor of this country shall not_be crucified?on a 50-cent silver cross. De- mocracy shall not place the crowning in- famy of repudiation on the brow of the honest labor of the country, which they have already cursed with idleness and con- sequent poverty and want. “Capital may await returns for its in- vestments, but labor cannot keep the wolf from the door unless employment be ever at hand.” The club will soon hold its meetings in new and more commodious a:unerl, eing forced to do so owing to the largely in- creasing membership. SPOKE 10 SAMARITANS, Susan B. Anthony Abiy Defends Woman Suffrage Before Crowds, Clubmen Tod What Women Want by the Venerable Apostle of Equality of Sex. Susan B. Anthony lectured-last night before the Good Samaritan Club on “‘Woman Suffrage.” The hall was mag- nificently decorated in honor of the club’s distingunished guest. . Miss Anthony was attended on the by President T. C. West of the cmb.alt(.;‘; A. A, Bargent, Miss Brown, the Misses Donnelly, Mesaames Verdenal and Poult- Dey occupying seats to the right and left. The spacious hall was thronged with in- terested listeners, and as the venerable champion of the ‘new citizen'’ rose to speak she was greeted with a burst of helnlrty cheering. ‘Henry Ward Beecher used to say,” commenced the veteran suffragist, Yankee had no use for any one)z wfio dt?d‘:’: have a vote in his hand. That is about the way I feel n this campaign for the rl‘zhu of women. My object is to con- ;V hen en; now women do not count. en men give woman a voice in govern- :wn: then will be time enough to talk to fler. For the present she is out of the ght. All she can do is to appeal to the other half of humanity for justice.” The well-known a rguments in favor of Woman suffrage were then given in the Tnple. yet convincing, style which Miss n:honz knows so well how to use, At times she was forced to pause until the protracted bursts of lause had sub- sided. One story in particular was re. ceived with cheer upon cheer. «The ballot,” she said, “will make women respect themselves. When they can cast their votes into that sacred urn, there to be crystallized into law, then women will regard themselves as real citi- zens. Again, men Wwill respect women i m"r‘?& lecture was followed by a most ani- mated, yet respectftl, discussion, after which the club tendered Miss Anthony a vote of thanks for the evening's treat. WHAT DID CAMPBELL D02 Mystery Surrounding the Ab- serce of the Hawaiian Millionaire. Guarded Now in His Room Prepara. tory to Sailing for Homolulu To-Morrow. The abduction or spree of Campbell, the Hawaiian miilionaire, during a twoe days’ absence from the Occidental Hotel, is still unsatisfactorily explained. Mr. Campbell will not talk and the de- tectives will say nothing, though they are evidently 1n search of real or imaginary malefactors. All day yesterday the aged planter re. mained in his apgrtments, party because of the enervating effect of his recent expe- rience and partly because of his wife's watchfulness. On Saturday, if developments in the case do not prevent, Mrs. Campbell says that they will sail for Honolulu on the Monowai. It is her desire to leave for home as soon as possible. “Oh, I am dying to tell itall, all that I know,’’ said she yesterday, “but I have been cautioned that I must not say any- thing yet. Ina few days we hope to be able to tell the whole story. I wantevery bit of it to come ovt. X “It may be that our presence will not be necessary to the detectives. [ hope not. They can work on without my husband’s being here. 1 want to start for Honolulu, I think the sea voyage will brace him up. “As far as I know the detectives have not caught any one yet.” Mr. Campbell told a friend of his yestera day that he lost $320. His captors, he de- clared, tried to get him to sign several drafts. He absolutely refused. They threatened his life. The old gentleman defied them. He said that he was getting pretty old, anyway, and knew be had to die soon, and perhaps that was as good a time asany. He would be hanged, however, before he would sign any drafts. His will was made and he was ready to die if he must. This was the sub- stance of part of his story told to an old friend. Mrs. Campbell seemed surprised when questioned about these details, and won- dered where they had been obtained. She aid not contradict them, but repeated her declaration that she was cautioned to se- crecy, and remarked that she was afraid she had said too much already. It was reported yesterday that the de- tectives had one of the men confined, and upon his gratuitous information were searching for the missing Winthrop, with whom Campbell was said to have left the Occidental last Monday afternoon. Caprain Lees said last night that he had absoiutely no information to impart. He believed that the story told by Campbell was correct, as he .was a very honorabla man and would not stoop to concoct it. He was asked if he was looking for Win- throp, but all the answer he vouchsafed was: “Well, I baven’t seen him.” ———— The Divorce Court. Judge Slack yesterday granted a divorce to Olympe C. Mafille from Eugene Mafille, be« cause of the latter’s willfui desertion. Emma M. Best was granted a divorce from George W. Best, on the grounds of cruelty, in- temperance and failure to provide. Judge Sllcfl made the decree. The custody of & minor child was awarded to plaintiff. i e A Peculiar Deed. Bridget White has brought suit to annul a deed to certain property on Orizaba street, which deed was recorded in favor of Abby Chamberlsin on June 9, 1896. The plaintiff claims that she never signed the deed or caused i1 to be signed or received any consid- eration therefor- NEW TO-DAY. VARIGOGELE. The Most Weakening of All the Bad Effects Following Excesses and Indiscretions. PEN CANNOT DESCRIBE THE TOR- ture inflicted upon the victim of Varie cocele. This disease is a swollen condition of the veins, which become wesk and fabby, get blue, ropy, causing impure cire culation, unhealthy perspiration and ex treme weakness. Itdrains and drags the vital energy from the body. It destroys strength; it ruins the nervous system, and makes men unfit for society, business or pleasure. Do you suffer from it? Watch yoursel carefully. It creeps upon its victim quietly, like the serpent, and if you do not strangle it npon the appearance of the first symptoms it may sap the foundation from your structure. DR. SANDEN'S ELECTRIC BELT tures Varicocele. It gives life into the veins and nerves, removes the stagnsnt blood and sets up a healthy circulation. It cures in three months. “The swollen veins are gone and my strength has all returned,” says N. Da- mato, Penryn, Cal. This disease destroys your nervous sys- tem. Drive it from your body by Dr. 8an- den’s Electric Belt. y “Iam pleased to state that my Varico- cele, which was of twelve years’ standing, has almost completeiy disappeared after using Dr. Sanden’s Belt for two months,” writes W. B. Johns, 1139 Market street, San Francisco. All power is weakened by Varicocele. Protect yourself from its dangerous pres- ence.
