for the treatment and cure of dyspepsia, neuralgia, kidney and liver?
trouble, catarrh, consumption, locomotor-ataxia, wasting diseases,?
nervous debility, female disorders and all kindred diseases resulting?

tonic to build up the system and contains no poison. They are?
nature's greatest aid to repair the nervous system giving power of?
endurance and capacity to enjoy every pleasure. An ideal remedy?
for all nervous troubles. The effect is immediate and no doubt of?

loss of sleep, over exhaustion resulting from indiscriminate sexual?
intercourse. Therefore, any man that finds his health impaired,?
his vital force lacking as a result of 'overdoing' can replenish this?
lost power by the timely use of Make-Man Tablets. If you would?
be healthy and strong of nerve and muscle and brain, under the con??
stant strain of over-exertion and maintain the normal supply of?
blood, you must assist dame nature to refill the empty blood reser??
voirs. It's a simple proposition: keep up the supply of blood and?
you

and siliceous material. As the findings of the analyst and report?
thereon indicated that the product was misbranded within the mean??
ing of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, and liable to seizure?
under section 10 of the act, the Secretary of Agriculture reported?
the facts to the United States attorney for the District of Columbia.
In due course a libel was filed in the Supreme Court of said Dis??
trict against the said 180 packages of Make-Man Tablets, charging?
the above shipment and alleging the product so shipped to be mis-?
branded, in that it was labeled as above set forth, which labels were?
exaggerated, false, and misleading because the product was not a?
brain, blood, or nerve food, because it contained poison, because it?
was not adapted to or suitable for the treatment of the several dis??
eases or disorders above mentioned, or any of them, or a cure there??
for, and because it was not adapted to or suitable for the purpose of?
making blood, or for the purpose of replenishing "lost power" in?
man, or for the purpose of restoring lost vitality, and praying?
seizure, condemnation, and forfeiture of the product.
Oh February 17, 1911, the cause came on for hearing and there?
being no claimant to the product or answer to the allegations of?
the above libel, the court issued its decree finding the product to?
be misbranded as alleged in said libel, condemning and forfeiting?
the same to the use of the United States, and ordering its destruc??
tion by the marshal for the said District.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.
