A THE KANSAS CITY JOURNAL. SUNDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1899. AMONG THE BOWLERS INDIVIDUAL AXU TEAM STANDING UP TO DATE. First Series of tlie Bowline: Lenjrne Schedale Ended Lart Week Kansas Citys and Missouri Tied for First Place. 44 f lirt week eofled the first series ef the schedule of the Kansas City Bowline League, and the nee chows an Interesting; grouping of the teams. The champion Kansas Cltya and the hustling Mlssourls are tied lor rst place, each having lost one game, the Kansas Citys to the Mlssourls and the Mlssourls to the Acmes. When the Kansas City commenced the com position of their team before the season opened. It looked Ulce & walkaway for them. Every one of thein had either held the high Individual, average at some time during: the existence of the league or had been the next nearest competitor, and tLe three leading men were considered by competent judges more than a match for any three men in the city. But only ccc of them has come tip to hli ante-season form, and the team as a whole has made no record worth special notice. The Mlssourls started the season In & regular hammer and tongs style, and defeated the Kansas Citys very handily In the flrrt game. They then had plain salllnr In the next three games, clearly out classing their opponents, the Eagles. Exchanges and Electrics, but It was noticed that there teemed to be a diminution of the snap and rim that characterized their game with the Kansas Citys. When they met the enfeebled Acs.es last week they received a touca of the Fplrit or W- The Mlssourls had to yield, and their retention of first place now becomes In effect a Question of again beating the Kansas Citys, a result subject to grave doubt In- view of the fact that they will be deprived of one of their strongest men when Cheek leaves for a business trip East, which will keep him out of the game for this coming scries. The Eagles and Acmes are tied for third place, and the coming series will probably furnish a good Item of Interest in the progress of these teams. The Acmes should have the better argument, for their regular members are strong, capable boilers when In form, and Captain Barse has the happy faculty of Imbuing his men with that spirit of determination that is so effective when employed In any direction. The Eagles, from their present heights, can look down on the level of last year's record when they floundered around in the mire of defeat. Then they were the weaklings, the Infants of the league and could only put forth a feeble effort, until near the No Eye Like the Master's Eye.

TLe first tesm to be damaged br tbem was the Acmes, who bad held the lead Iron the first game. Tbey put tbem to rout and the defeat was the first of a series which landed the Acmes In third place. Between seasons the blrdlcs waxed strong and another year finds them with out spread pinions and soaring in lolly amtuaes. uo moulting season Is at hand, however, and they will bare to be on their guard against losing too many feathers. Tb Uxcbscges entered the contest full or confidence snd so far hare Just managed to escap. allfe, when they bested the Electrics last week In a game Involving the solution of the problem, who shall be last? Uut they will be bfcard from at all times snd. It they do not win the championship, they are capable of Interfering to a large extent with tb. calculations of the other teams. They may be a ort of free lance In the race, attacking with suc cess, or being routed with ease, in the most unex pected quarters, but their record as bowlers is more than an average one, and the advance of the season wlirdemonstrate their fitness against the others. The Electrics organized this season with players from last year's Telegraphers Lesgue, composed of men from the Postal and Western Union offices, who took to the game for the exercise. That league dla not revive and the more ambitious of the members Joined -the big league, through the Electric tesm. They could make no showing whatever against the other teams and a reorganization was deemed neces sary and was effected by the withdrawal of four and the substitution cf men who were considered able to cut a large figure In the league. So far the change has been of no benefit In advancing the team to a better position, but the team's record bss been much Improved and It will not continue to be an unbroken series of detests tor them Tery long. The old Telegraphers' league has been revived and the ex-Electrics have joined It. It Is to be hoped their disappointing experience In the big league will not discourage any future desire on their part ' to try It again. Could they have reconciled their differences and remained In the league they would have emerged from tho contest at the end of the season with a fund of experience that they can gain -In no other way. The league would conserve the best Interests It It would adhere to the Idea of en couragement to embryo bowlers. Charlie Clark, of the Ksnsaa City tesm, has a strong lesd over all others for the high Individual at erase, being 53 points ahead of his nearest com petitor, and unless he goes lame In some particular before the season Is over, thst position might Just as well be considered pre-empted with no one to rightfully dispute bis claim. Interest must then be trsnsferred to the race for vecond place, which Is now held by Barse, of the Acmes, who Is Just as cspable of maintaining the position aa either of the four men next to him who at present can be con sidered his only competitors. Wilson, the high man of last season, has greatly dlscrpolnted his admirers so far, as be has not been bowling up to his standard by any means. He seems 'o put little spirit Into his work and to be rsthei careless as well. It his first ball was as perfect as his second, he would have an excellent average. Farley Is another strong player, who must be nursing a grievance against the pins on account of the obstinate way In which they drop for him. He has had to face a great many difficult splits, but he Is the veteran of the league and It Is a safe predic tion thst his average will be raised above the MO mark before the season Is over. Lord, the former king, never comes on the alleys except at club rolls and while he ought to be among the leaders he Is occupying his present unsatisfactory position solely from lack of practice. Uackett has been very unfortunate also In splits, having averaged over seven to a game. He Is far below the figure that ought to designate his position in the race. Of the new men who have entered the tournament roll this year, Lanlng has made the best showing and occupies a sstlsfactory position. Voght leads him by a good margin, but "Tony" bss made his ap pearance before, having bowled a few games with the Ilssourls when they were first organized. Dunlop, who carries the Isst banner In the proces sion. Is not only new to the lesgue, but to the rune ss well, for this Is only his second season. Ha it ambitious and if he gathers confidence with experi ' ence will make good progress at the game. A noticeable feature of the Uble of Individual averages Is the wide difference in the standing of the first ten men. Between Clark and Allen, first and t.nth. a difference of fifty-two pins average per game. Two years ago the bowlers appeared In the table of averages In gradual order of decline and more than a dozen were over the S00 mark. Is there a real decline fn the standard of bowling? It Is very hard to answer the quertlon rightly. Per. haps had the old Owl team remained In the league four or five cf the members would have flgurtd among the first ten. A partial excuse for the diminished percentages of the bowlers can be offered In the fact -that two games have been rolled by each team on the Armory alleys, which are used for the first time this vear hv the leaaue. With very few exceptions these alleys were strange to the bowlers and the balls hsd finger grips that were quite different to the ones they had become familiar with on the Brunswick. This difference necessitated a change In the style of delivery of even such expert bowlers as Farley and McMlnamln, and, in consequence, neither of these men were Improved In their records by the new alleys. Whatever Influenced to their detriment was apt to become even more pronounced In the case of more uncertain bowlers. The coming aeries will serve to determine more exactly Just .how much credence Is to be sttached to this theory. INDIVIDUAL AVERAGES. No. Name. Club. Games.Strlses.Spares.MIS!es.TotsIs.

Before at least 12,000 peopls the eleven of the University of Chicago to-day defeated the University of Wisconsin team by a score of 17 to 0 in a game that for desperate playing, for clean, scientific football, has probably never been equaled on a Western gridiron. No flukes marred the victory of the sturdy Chicago players, and to-night for the first time In years the Maroons can lay claim to an undisputed title to the championFhip. it was a game between a team which in offensive play was perfect, with weather and wind in Its favor, an eleven whose dense play up to to-day had been com psct enough to protect their goal line from all oppos ing elevens except Yale. But Chicago's mass plays were Irresistible, and though the Badgers fought un til they could fight no more, through the first half, and once In the second half, the Maroon backs plunged through Wisconsin's line until the ball was carried over the goal line. Onl once did Wisconsin have a chance to score, and that ona chance tfwy were unable to avail themselves of, as, with tho ball on their own 15-yard line, the Chicago forwards braced so effectively that on four downs the ball was only shoved forward 3 yards. In this respect the Chi cago players surprised their supporters? Their defen sive play was far stronger than expected, and even when Wisconsin bad the ball, which was seldom,' n'TVa waa comnelled to kick in most Instances. Throughout the whole game the Badgers were on the defensive, most of tho time with the ball well inu their territory. Chicago quickly located the weak spots In the Badgers' defense. They were mostly on the left side of the line, and in the flrzt half, Slaker, Fell. Hamlll and Henry, behind Interference that was apparently unbreakable, tore through the tackle and guard portions for gains that almost Invariably netted the distance. On tho right side, however, more difficulty was experienced. Curtlss, the Wiscon sin right tackle, plajed a whirlwind game, and he tore through Fell time and again In time to spoil the play. He was easily the star of the Wisconsin eleven. The whirlwind mass on tackle, the most ef fective play of Chicago's, was often directed against him, but It never netted more than 3 yards, and fre quently Curtlss stopped the play before It was fairly started. At the other side of the lino It came easier. Flannlgan, Webb and Eldredge held their men safe, and when Slaker or Fell were sent against the line the ball generally found a resting placo several yards In adiance ot wnere n siancu. In the second hslf Comstock, exhausted and limp ing retired In favor of Lerum, and little Tratt also went out. Wilmarth taking his place. But It made little difference. The game had already been won and although Lerum made big Flannlgan's life a burden to him for the balance of the game, the rest of the team was too exhausted to make effective headway. During the latter part of the second halt Chicago played to keep Wisconsin from scoring and once Kennedy adopted the. tactics ot CapUin Mc Bride. of Yale, and dropped back 20 yards to hold the ball. Chicago's Interference was far superior to Wisconsin's and to this fact more than any other must be ascribed the victory. Once the ball was put in play every man on the team was pushing, pulling or helping the runner to keep hl3 feet until the whistle was blown for a down. Even when tackled, the Chicago backs and tackles. Fell and Webb being frequently used, struggled forward until crushed down by a mass of plajers. Wisconsin's in.frf.rpTiri. on the other hand, was more easily broken up and at no stage of the game was the ball advanced more than ten yards. Two hours before the game a cold drizzling rain oegan to iau aim throughout the battle showers fell frequently. The rain did not have much effect on the field, hut It was sufficiently heavy to render the ball wet and slippery and fumbles by both sides were frequent. When the referee's whistle was blown for the end of the game, nearly 1.000 cheering rooters broke out on the gridiron, hoisted the tired but happy cham- nnn. tn their shnuiaera ana. neaaeu uj k uww, marched out of the grounds and far up the street be fore they allowed their burdens to climb into the waiting carriages.

Walthouer will receive 3500 for the Individual championship. The scene at the garden at 10 o'clock to-night was exciting when the winners swept over the line, ending one of the roost sensational contests of Its kind ever ghen In this country. Ten thousand peo ple saw the finish. From 6 o'clock to the end the the pace maintained was heart-breaking. It was nothing more or less than a continuous series of sprints, first one and then another of the riders electrifying the crowd with a terrific burst of speed. All the teams worked In 15 and 20 minute relays but frequently one man relieved his mste In th middle of a hair-raising sprint. Not for a single Instant did a single rider leave the track side after C o'clock. The moment a man dismounted from his wheel he was wrapped In a bath robe or blanket, set In a chair and his handlers went to work on him In plain view of the spectators. The last ten minutes of the race were ridden at a record-breaking pace, first one and then the other of the leaders going to the front and setting a terrific clip. Beginning the last lap. Pierce, who had been trailing the bunch, suddenly shot to tho front, and he crossed the finish line three lengths before Babcock who had been iylrg in fourth place during the long sprints. McEachern finished third and Champion Miller was fourth. After the race the seventeen prize winners were paraded about the track. Hobby Walthouer, the Indi vidual Drize winner, who finished rldlne at 7:44. also paraded, and to him the crowd gae its heartiest welcome. Tne men then went to tneir training quar ters, and after a rest proceeded to their respective hotels. Only one accident occurred during the day. That happened shortly after 3 o'clock during a long sprint. Babcock fell, carrying disaster with him. As a result of the fail the bunch became separated, and resulted in Miller. Maya and Walthouer gaining a lap on the others. An Investigation showed that the accident was entirely due to careless riding on the part of Babcock. and the referee decided to give back all the laps lost by unlucky riders except the of r,n,p whn was Denallzed one Ian. The best previous record for 142 hours was made by Miller In the garden In 1S9S. when in a six-day race he roda 2.190 miles and C60 yards. The combined mileage of Miller and Waller for 112 hours, therefore, beats Miller's record by 543 miles. After the close of the six-day race, a fifteen-mile amateur paced race between Arthur Ross, Harrison. N J and John Nelson, of Chicago, was won by Ross In 29:25 2-5. At the start Ross' motorcycle was slow In getting Into action, and he had to follow the pace Puffs From the Pipe. Rube Waddell took his life In his hands and played football with tho Butler.

On the night of December 22 Forbes "4a scheduled to meet Terry McGovern in a contest the limit of which has been set at twenty rounds. According to reports received from the East, Joe Walcott's next opponent will be Joe Choynskl. The heavyw eight Is In Chicago at the present time, work ing at a North side "gym." and those who have seen him on tho scales aver that he weighs only about 157 pounds. If this Is true a match between Walcott and Choynskl would prove an even proposi tion, unless the colored man should happen to reach Choynskl s Jaw early In the fight. Harry Pulllam. president of the Louisville base ball club, arrived at Louisville from Pittsburg yes terday. To a reporter he said: "If we cannot dis pose ot our Interests at the league meeting next week we will continue In the game. We would pre fer to sell out. but not at a sacrifice. We will hare material for a pretty good team. With Billy Cling man as manager. I think It would receive the sup port of the public. Of course. It would not be the 340.000 team we carried last year. That wa too expensive for us with the patronage we received at home." Jem Evans gave an entertainment at his gymna sium last night at 2330 Grand avenue. Billy Beals and Billy King went three rounds: Frank Sullivan and Jim Kelly, four rounds: Jim Evans and Georgo Evans, three rounds; Billy Lanlgan, Jem Evans and Frank Whalen went four rounds each with Kid Whalen. champion middleweight of the West. Kid Whalen Is here under the training of Professor Jem Evans, and Is ready to meet all comers in his class. He Is anxious to arrange a match with Paddy Pur tell. Whalen can be found at Jem Evans' gymna sium. Jimmy Barry yesterday received word that if he would make up his mind to re-enter the ring h could command a good purse before the National Sporting Club, of London, for a contest with Harry Ware. Barry alowly shook his head with seeming sorrow us he said that he realized that his fighting days were over. "Too bad, Jimmy," remarked a friend stand ing by, "that you did not receive that kind of an offer about two years ago when you were fighting Hi- pounds around New York." "lea," replied uarry. "I was very unlucky. When I was good I could not get anyone who would command a good puree to fight me unless I gave away lots of weight. Since I have retired all kinds of little fellows have sprung up around the country." The closing session of the board of review ot the National Trotting Association was held yesterday. Over 179 cases came before the board during its ses sion and were, with the exception of several casc3. In which Western horsemen and horses were con cerned, disposed of. There were in addition about twenty cases that had been continued over from the last meeting. The continued cases win come up for disposal at the next meeting of the board, which will take place in Chicago the first week In May. The Nutwood Driving Club. C T. Hancock president, of Dubuque, la., was suspended until further no tice, because its officers collected suspension fees and not accounting to the national association. Chicago's two recognized fight referces Slier and Hcgan are busy men these days. They are In !e mand all over the country to officiate In glove con tests. George Slier, who presided over the Trank Erne-Jack O'Brien argument at New York city Mon day night, will step over at Cincinnati on his way back to this city. There on Monday night he is to referee a fifteen-round contest between Joe Cans and Kid Ashe. From there Slier may go to Louisville and referee a bout. Malachy Hogan will also be absent from Chicago during the first Tart of next ween. Hogan Is to referee an eight-round contest at Detroit Monday night. This leaves the Eddie Santry-Jack O'Malley contest, scheduled to wind up the boxing show clven for Frank Garrard's benefit at the Star theater Monday night, without a referee. O'Mallcy would not agree to any official yesterday when hs learned that neither Slier nor Hogan would be here, and It was finally agreed to choose the official at the ringside Monday night. "Mark Hanna,? ha, ha," laughed a man of many ex's seated in the center of a group of admiring friends at the Coates House last night. "Mark Hanna is a much abused man, who improves wonderfully upon ac quaintance." The speaker was Charles Foster, Fostoria, O., former governor of the Buck eye state, secretary of the treas ury under President Harrison and for many years a familiar figure in and for many years a familiar figure in congress. He bears his 72 years well, has the cheery, ringing laugh of a man a score of years his junior and is an entertaining conversationalist. Good nature and affabili ty are his chier characteristics and to such an extreme' did ho carry this trait of character last night in chatting with a group of men, many of whom fie had never seen before, that he almost missed an en gagement with Major Warner, who is one of his old-time friends. A question regarding the personality of the new senator from Ohio aroused the risibilities of the ex-governor and he pro ceeded to enlarge upon the mistaken Idea which the oubllc has of Mark Hanna. "Why, according to the cartoons in the Democratic papers Mr. Hanna is a very uclv old devil, and people are agreeably surprised when they first see him. Not long ago I went out with him for a little campaigning. It was his first effort at speechmaking, and to say ho did very creditably is putting it mildly; he fairly took tho audiences by storm. Senator Hanna has been a practical business man all his life, and he is not an orator in any sense of the 'word, but when he got start ed at speechmaking he showed a surpris ing control over his audiences and they greedily called for more. They were not content with hearing Hanna in the hall, but he had to talk to them on the outside after tho meeting; there were cheers for Hanna and cheers again, and then every body wanted to shake hands with him. That Is the real Mark Hanna and not the caricature of the opposition press. "President McKinley." continued the vet eran statesman, "well, sir. President Mc Kinley is the luckiest man God ever cre ated. How do I make that out? It is simple. Before he became famous 'William McKinley was a man of one idea, a pro tectionist in the strongest sense of the term. His tariff measure was drawn up and passed, and then came the repeal and the substitution of the Wilson bill, and in its wake a period of depression which has never been equaled in the history of tho country. "Again there came a time for the nomina tion of candidates for the presidencv. The issue was the tariff, and naturally the choice of the party fell upon William Mc Kinley. tho great apostle of protection. The campaign was started upon the tariff issue, but the Democrats, cleverly enough, turned attention toward the money ques tion, and upon that issue the campaign was fought and lost to them. William Mc Kinley Is still the logical candidate of the party, and as for thf Democrats well, their candidate is already nominated and well. I might say, tho election Is over as far as he is concerned. Antl-Expnnslon a Flxale. Soon after graduatintr from one of the best medical colleges in the world (over a quarter of a century ago), I became convinced of the importance o special studyand attention to the much-dreaded and health-destroying diseases of the Genito-Urinary Organs and Blood and Skin Diseases. It was generally conceded by the profession that the failure of success in the treatment of these diseases was due to the fact that they had not received enough attention and were not understood by the regular practitioner. Hav ing decided to adopt the treatment of these diseases as my specialty, I went to New York and associated myself with the prominent men of that city who had made them their life study. I also connected myself with the largest venereal hospitals of the world, spending over five years in special study and work, receiving certificates from the leading Institutions of the East, including tha Bellevue Hospital, the Post Graduate and Polyclinic Colleges of New York, obtaining an experience that cannot be acquired by the ordinary practitioner. I have devoted my life to the study and practice of my specialty and have been successful in restoring to health and vigor many cases that. were in tha most serious condition and had passed through all classes and methods ot treat ment without benefit. Your failure to be cured by others is no valid argument against my treatment. I claim advantages in treatment of diseases coming under my specialty over other physicians. No honest man need go without the treatment that will effect his complete and permanent cure. The poorest can have the benefit of my experience. Many suffer because the means of cure are beyond their reach, My treatment, with special advice to suit each particular case, is positively within the reach of every suffering invalid. I treat and guarantee to cure the following described diseases: Varicocele. DENVER Slltrhtly Colder To-day.

William Samuels, an escaped prisoner from Boon vllle. Mo., reform school, was arrested here for Boon vllle oncer and taken back there yesterday after noon. The pollci" received a report from F. W. Hlld. of Independence, that his house had been enlertd by burglars some time during rnaay mgui aim - fci watch taken. S. T. Anderson was arrested yesterday afternoon by Police Oncer Webster, ot station No. 4. charged wlta selling policy tickets- lie was observed by the oBcer selling them on East Eighteenth street- A telegram was received from Jefferson City, stat ing that an officer from Illinois would be In the city to take Andrew Carr back to tho reformatory at Menard. 111. Carr was a prisoner at the reformatory, snd had been paroled. He decided to shake the dust o! Illinois off his feet, and cama to Kansas City. where he was arrested. A. Klcinhover, who waa arrested a few days ago for striking a man named Charles Kelltr over the head with a hoe. was discharged In the police court yester day and Immediately arrested on a state warrant. He waa arraigned before Justice Spltx. and his heax- I lug sat tor Monday. He was rtlaased on bond. "What will be tho Issue upon which the next campaign is fought? It must be sil ver, for there is nothing else left. This antl-exnanslon sentiment has alreariv proven to be a fizzle. It is not the popular idea, and even many Democrats have come out flat-footed tho other way, so that Is disposed of. Now as to trusts, what Is there to b done in this resnect? Has not the Sherman act a Republican measure been declared constitutional? This is the law through which some political jurists were going to drive a coach-and-four and lo and behold tho United States supreme court has upheld It. "The test was made recently In what Is known as the Anderson case, a trust com posed of sewer pipe manufacturers. This corporation was not so much a combina tion to fix prices; it was based upon the principle of a division of territory. The country was divided Into districts and only certain factories which were In the com bination could dispose of their goods within the boundaries of a certain district. Of course there was an understanding as to the price, but that is not tne point upon which the case was fought. The United States supereme court declared the sewer pipe trust a combination in restriction of trade and Its charter was declared void. If the law applied in this case it will apply in hundreds of others. So It is not a ques tion of introducing and passing anti-trust legislation, but of enforcing what has been passed. What is there left to make a light on, but silver? And with that as the Issue upon whose banners will victory perch? "About Congressman Roberts little is to be said, for everybody is with congress on that question. Personally. I believe Mr. .Roberts Is only doing his duty In support ing his hree wives, any Christian man liv ing in a civilized community would and should do the same, and I do not think he Is to be blamed ror tnat. aut reauy he's got no business in congress; if he takes proper care of the three wives he will have no time for politics." Thus Governor Foster chatted on, first on one subject, then on another and on each ho had something new and Interest ing to say. The conversation turned to the Foster family, members of which have occupied high places in the land for years Tinst. "The Fosters," continued tho best known representative of the family now living, "all come from the North of Ireland or England. My branch of the family came to this country 2S6 years ago and settled In Seneca county, N. Y. I run across lots of Fosters in my travels, and most of them are related. "A queer thing happened to me when I first went to congress let's see It was in 69, I think. I was standing in the corridor one day when I saw a man on the opposite side whom l toos to do my uncte. i walked over to h'.ra and wo shook hands. He said his narre was Foster, but I knew tho minute I got near him that ho wasn't my uncle, nor was he a known relative. He wis from the South, and, as luck would have It, we were both placed on the same comrt'ittee, but for the life of me I could never trace a particle of relationship be tween us. He must have been related, though for he looked remarkably like my uncle. nut I must be going or I won't get to see Major Vvarner. Governor Foster arrived here late yes terday afternoon from Southern Kansas, where he is Interested In lead and zinc mines. He stopped In Kansas City for the night, en route to St. Louis, because he cannot sleep well when traveling, he ex plained. Columbian Knljthts" Officers. Kansas City lodge.

Its In jurious effects are too well known for extended comment- Suffice to say that it depresses the mind, weakens the body, racks the nervous system and ultimately leads to a complete loss of sexual power. It you are a victim ot this dire disease, come to my office and let me explain to you my process ot treating It. Under my treatment the patient Im proves from the very beginning. The pools of stag nant blood are forced from tha dilated veins, which rapidly assume their normal sire, strength and soundness. All Indications of disease and weakness vanish completely, and In their stead come the pride, the power and the pleasures ot perfect health and restored manhood. Stricture. It matters not how long you hare suffered from Stricture, nor how many different doctors hate dis appointed you, I will cure you Just as certainly as you come to me ror treatment. I win not ao n Dy cm ting or dilating My treatment Is new, entirely original with me, and perfectly painless. It com pletely dissolves the Stricture and permanently re moves every obstruction from the urinary passage. It stops every unnatural discharge, allays all Inflam mation, reduces the prostate gland when enlarged, cleanses the bladder and kidneys, invigorates the sexual organs and restores health and soundness to every part ot tne noay aaectea oy ine disease. Syphilitic Blood Poison. On account of Its frlehtful hideousnesa syphilis Is commonly called the ling of all venereal diseases. It may be either hereditary cr contracted. Once tho system ts tainted with ft, the disease may manifest Itself in the form of scrofula, ecxema, rheumatic pains, stiff or swollen joints, eruptions or copper colored spots on face or body, little ulcers In the mouth or on the tongue, sore throat, swollen ton sils, falling out of the hair or eyebrows, and finally a leprous-ltke decay of the flesh and bone. If you have any of these or similar symptoms, consult me Immediately. If I find your fears unfounded, I will quickly unburden your mind. But if your con stitution la Infected with syphilitic virus I will tell you frankly, and show yon how to get rid of It. My special treatment for syphilis Is practically the re sult of my life work, and is Indorsed by the best physicians of America and Europe. It contains no dangerous drugs or injurious medicines of any kind. It goes to the very bottom of the disease and forces out every particle of Impurity. Soon every sign and symptom disappear completely and forever. The blood, the tissue, tbe flesh, the bones and the whole system are cleansed, purified and restored to perfect health, and the patient prepared anew for the duties and pleasures of life. We guarantee & cure fn IS to 35 days. Nervous Debility. Men. many of yon are now reaping the result ox your former tolly. Tour manhood Is falling, an will soon be lost unless you do something for your self. There la no time to lose. Impotency. like all sexual diseases. Is never on the standstill. With It yon can make no compromise. Either you must-master It or it will master you. and All your whola future with misery and Indescribable woe. I hav, treated so many cases of this kind that I am aa familiar with them as yon are with tho very day light. Once cured by me you will never again bothered wlthemlsslons. drains, prematureness. small or weak organs, nervousness, falling memory. loss ot ambition or other symptoms which rob you ot your manhood and absolutely unlit you tor atudy. busi ness, pleasure or marriage. My treatment for weak men will correct all these evils. a"nd restore youto what nature intended a hale, healthy, happy man. with, physical, mental and sexual powers complete. Associate Diseases. In curing a disease at any kind I never (all ta remove all reflex complications. If the case la Varicocele, the weakness caused by It disappears. It It Is stricture, and has developed Into Prostatic. Bladder or Kidney affections, the injured organs; arc all restored to a cerfectlr healthful condition. If It Is blood poisoning-, any and all Skin. Blood and Bone diseases arising irom tne taint are entirety ana peimaneatly eliminated from the system. If it Is Impotency the many distressing symptoms following: In Its train and Indicating a premature decline ot physical, mental and sexual powers are totally re moved and rapidly replaced'by the youthful energy ot robust manhood. Hence all resulting Ills and re flex complications, which may be properly termed associate diseases, and which. In tact, are often mors serious than the original ailment that gives rise to them all. I say. disappear completely and fox ever with the cure ot the mala malady. Correspondence. Most cases can he treated successfully at home. One personal visit Is preferred, but if it Is lmsos slble or inconvenient Zor you to call at my office, write mo a full and unreserved history ot your trouble, plainly stating your symptoms. I will charm you nothing for consultation and advice, which la always sacredly confidential, and if your case la curable and I take It for treatment.
