Youthful Strength
Dr. Magnus Hirscht'eld, the world-known authority on Se" ry
and Director of the Institute for Sexual Science of Berlin, Gr y,
created
TITUS-PEARLS
to help the millions of n.en and women who have lost or are iusmg
their vital physical power. In his 35 years of practice and research,
however, he realized that the weakening of man’s glands was also
responsible for other troubles: High blood pressure, hardening of
the arteries, physical exhaustion after work or exercise, dizziness,
depression, neurasthenia, etc.
All these troubles can be removed with Titus-Pearls. Numerous
cases were treated by Dr. Hirschfeld in his Berlin Institute.
L. S. (State Official; 60 years old, married) complained of
physical exhaustion, dizziness and tremors. Was easily tired. Mental
power dull 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 60
years of age he had regained the physical power and virility that
ue had known in the prime of his life.
Start regaining your youthfulness now! To-day! In 2 w’eeks
time you will be aware of the new, virile force within you. Send
$5.00 (cash registered or money-order) for 2 weeks treatment. C. O. D.
