There is always more or less suspicion attached to anything that is offered free but sometimes a mail so overflows with generosity that be cannot rest until tils discovery It known to the world, In order that his fellow men may profit by what he has dlscoveied. It Is upon this principal that a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich , desires to send free to mankind a prescription which will cure thorn of any form of nervous debility ; relieves them of all the doubt and uncertainty which such ineu are iiecullarly liable to and restores tho organs to natural site and vigor. As It costs nothing to try tho experiment it would seem that any man, suffering with the nervous troubles that usually attack men who never stopped to realise what might bo the final result, ought to lie deeply Interested in a temedy which will restore them to health, strength and vigor, without which they continue to llvo an existence of untold misery. As tlio remedy in question wns the result of many years research as to what combination would be peculiarly effective in restoring to men the strength they need, It would seem that all men suffering with any form nf nervous weakness ought to write for such a remedy at once. A request to H. C. Olds, Box 1712, Kslamasoo, Mich., statins that you are not sending for the prescription out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to make use of the medicine by giving ita trial, will be answered promptly and without evidence as to where Information came from. The prescription is sent free and although soino may wonder how Mr. Olds can nlford to giveaway his discovery, there is no doubt about the offer being genuine.
