Writes’
(For the Literary Service Bureau
A Brute of a Man — seduced and
lived with a girl then tried to kill her
—marry him? No. No, Rilla unless
you are a fool spelled with capitals
and underscored.
(For advice, write Maxie Miller,
care of Literary Service Bureau, 516
Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City,
Kans. For personal reply, send self,
addressed, stamped envelope.)
Maxie Miller: I’m bringing you a
serious case. Bet you never had one
just like it. I'm a girl twenty.five
years old. I'm engaged to a profes.
sional man, I love him, or I did love
him. Well, T think I leve him still.
But I’ve lost confidence in him and
respect for him.—This man had an
office girl and she was everything to
him. He confessed all that to me and
said he'd give her up and would live
right. But this girl who has been with
him ten years since she was sixteen,
would not give him up. One day she
went to his office and quarreled with
him. He got angry and beat her ter.
ribly. He broke one of her ribs and
hurt her internally and she may die.
Since that, my love has been waning;
and I’m scared. I am afraid to trust
myself with a man who could be so
mean. What is best?—Rilla Rollins.
Rilla Rollins: A man who will
seduce a girl, promise to marry her,
use her in this way ten years, and
then deal with her thus, is unworthy
any consideration. You’d be a fool to
marry him. and perhaps you would be
a corpse, after a little while.—

physical exhaustion, dizziness and tremors. Was easily tired. Mental
power dnH and slow moving. Physical powers had been incomplete
for previous 5 years. Blood pressure too high. Given 2 Titus-Pearls
3 times a day. 2 weeks later the medical report on this man was:_
general health better, more vigor; dizziness much less and returning
of power. Treatment continued and 2 weeks later L. S. reported
again, this time to say that all weariness and exhaustion had gone*
he felt fresh and buoyant His blood pressure had fallen, and at 80
years of age he had regained the physical power and virility that
he had known in the prime of his life.
Start regaining your youthfulness now! To-day! In 2 weeks
