NEW TO-DAY. FREE 70 EVERY MAN. | THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATHENT FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN. WHICH CURED HIM AFTER E N THING ELSE FAILED, 0¥ Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebodings are . ten times worse than the most severe pain. There isnoletup to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under such & strain men are scarcely responsibie for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness untll it was & question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his throubles. ~But providential inspiration came to his aid {a the shape of & combination of medicines that not only completely restored tife gemeral health, but enlarged his weak emaciated parts to netural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man_who_will take the trouble to send his name and sddress may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when I say free [ mean absolutely wizhout cost, because I want every weakened man to get the benefit of my experience. Tam not a philantnropist, nor do I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of me: suffering the menial tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such a remedy as the one that curéd me.
