hen they have secured the fifteen
dollars ($15.00), of sending it by express _with a bill to be collected
on delivery_ FOR FIFTEEN DOLLARS ($15.00) MORE. With this bill they send
an explanation, that "on re-examining the case" they "found it
necessary, or thought it advisable, to send their stronger and more
expensive preparations and appliances _for the worst cases_ AND SO HAVE
CHARGED FIFTEEN DOLLARS ($15.00) MORE TO COVER THE EXTRA EXPENSE."

It is astonishing that there are those who can be induced to part with
their money for such claptrap devices, and still more so that having
been duped and swindled out of their hard earned money through false
pretenses and promises of benefit held out to them, they should submit
quietly to such extortion and not have the swindlers arrested and
prosecuted for obtaining money under false pretenses as they richly
deserve. For what crime can be more deserving of punishment than the
holding out of false hopes and pretenses to the unfortunate? Employing
the United States mails for swindling is a pretty dangerous business,
and sooner or later these rascals will, we predict, find it out to their
sorrow. They are pretty sure to get hold of some men, ere long, who will
invoke the aid of the United States District Attorney to bring them to
justice.

YOUNG MAN, if you have, through ignorance, fallen into practices that
have arrested your physical growth and development in any of your organs
or parts, shun all such unscientific and worse than worthless
contrivances as you would shun a pestilence. No matter how plausible the
web of arguments woven to entrap you, be assured, they are the utterance
of knaves who care not what false hopes they encourage so they secure
your money.

Consult only those whose well known skill, experience and integrity will
insure honest dealings and the most scientific treatment known to the
"healing art," and who supply the latter at reasonable cost.

Be assured also, that when, through proper treatment, your weakness and
functional derangements are overcome, the parts that have suffered
therefrom, will regain all the strength and development possible to
impart to them through the aid of the physician's skill. Nature often
accomplishes wonders in this direction, when aided by the skillful
practitioner.
