IF YOU GET UP
NIGHTS YOU’RE OLD
BEFORE YOUR TIME
Prostate and Bladder Trouble Make*
Many Men Feel Twenty Years
Older Than They Are.
It is said that fifty per cent of men
past forty and many younger ones are
victims of prostate trouble.
One of the commonest symptoms of
this dangerous disease which saps vi
tality and makes you old before your
time is the necessity of getting up sev
eral times a night.
Other symptoms are dull, draggy,
aching at the base of the spine, pain
in groin, burning sensation of organs,
lack of vigor and frequent attacks of
the blues.
But there is hope for you, no matter
how old your case, from a wonderful
new formula. It seemingly brings new
health, vigor and freedom from these
troubles' to both old and young.
This wonderful treatment is known
es Walker’s Prostate Specific, and Is
prepared in convenient, pleasant tablet
form. All you need do is take one tab
let after each meal and the symptoms
seem to vanish like magic.
To prove these statements the
"Walker Institute, 1896 Gateway Station,
Kansas City, Mo., generously offers to
eend a $1 treatment under plain wrap
per, postpaid and free of charge to any
sufferer who will write for it. If it
cures you tell your friends and pay
whatever you think Is fair, otherwise the
loss is ours.
Remember that you are the Judge,
end you pay nothing now or at any
time unless you wish, so send your
name today before the introductory
offer is withdrawn. It is good for only
10 days and guaranteed in every way.
