present be suffering from the results of Ignorance, neglect, dissi
pation, etc., will And It well worth their time to come for free

First Symptoms ot Men's Diseases
If we could see and treat all men when ths first symptoms

seeking a rejuvenation of their physical and nental powers,
and there would a lap be few sufferers from Nervous Debil
ity, Blood Poison. Rectal. Kidney and Bladder Diseases aad
their complications. But as long as men continue to disregard
the golden adags. "A stitch tn tlma saves nine," and continue
to neglect themselves, or -exercise Indifference or poor Judg

long will there be multitudes of chronic sufferers.

gerous or half-way treatment, for upon, the success sf ths
