We have in our possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory, and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains or the follies of youth that has cused so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes without any additional help or medicine that we think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So we have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed for it. This prescription comes from a physicla nwho has made a special study of men and we are convinced it is the sur

est-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure

ever put together. We think we owe It to our fellow men

to send . them a copy In confidence so

that any man anywhere who is weak

and discouraged with repeated failures

may stop drugging himself with harm

ful patent medicines, secure what w believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING

remedy ever devised, and so cure him

self at home quietly and quickly. Just

drop us a line like this: Interstate

Remed Co.. 4663 Luck Building. De

trolt, Mich., and we will send you a

copy of this splendid recipe in a plain

ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00

to J5.00 for merely writing out a pre' Ferlption like this but we send It en tlrely free. Adv.
