As It costs nothing to try the 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 <o lie deeply Interested In a remedy which will restore them to health, strength and vigor, without which they continue to live an existence of untold mlh<jj-y. As the remedy iu question was thf? rcsult of many years research as to wha: combination would be peculiarly effective In restoring to men ?he strength they nee'1. It would seem that all men Buffering with any form c? nervous weakness ought to write for such a remedy at once. A request to 11. C. Olds, Box 1766, Kalamazoo.

Th>j prescription Is sent free and although some may wonder how Mr. Olds can a/ford to give away bis discovery, there Is no doubt about the offer being genuine.
