There Is Help For You ! Act Today ! In my very extensive practice I have learned a few truths that are undeniably of interest to EVERY MAN. First of all I find that the very serious and so-called "incurable" cases are due usually to NEG LECT and DELAY. Again, I know that many men suffer FOR YEARS and prac tically RUIN THEIR HEALTH FOR EVER trying to dose themselves with some patent nostrum that never could cure. NO TREATMENT AT ALL is what "Cheap" treatment means in nine cases out of tin. The last state of the man is worse than the first. Just before you go a line further in this anncAincement, stop and ask yourself as to whether YOU are fol lowing in the foolish footsteps of the man who NEGLECTS himself? Are YOU try ing to cure yourself with nostrums? Are YOU looking for treatment that will not 1 cure? If you are, it is certain that you will regret it. It is NEVER TOO LATE to get on the right path, but at the same time remember that you cannot get there too soon. The best help in the world is none too good for you; you cannot get it too quickly you at the lowest tee possible.
