VARICOCELE. 



H. J. TILLOTSON, M. D. 



Under my treatment this insidi- 

 ous disease rapidly disappears. 

 Pain ceases almost instantly. The stagnant blood is driven 

 from the dilated veins and all soreness and swelling sub- 

 sides. Every indication of Varicocele vanishes and in its 

 stead comes the pleasure of perfect health. Many ailments 

 are reflex, originating from other diseases. For instance, 

 innumerable blood and nervous diseases result from poison- 

 ous taints in the system. Varicocele and Hydrocele, if neg- 

 lected will undermine physical strength, depress the mental 

 faculties, derange the nervous system, and ultimately pro-

SALUT AU CHAUFFEUR. 



(Supposed to Have Been Written by 

 Walt Whitman.) 



A song of the automobile ! A carol of the 

 festive Red Devil ! A yodel of the gog- 

 gle eyed chauffeur, sitting aplomb in 

 the midst of devastation ! A chant of 

 speeds, tires, tonneaus, spark plugs, 

 poppet valves, collet pins, high clutches, 

 this shall be my morning romanza ! 



See the locomokokomobile scooting 

 through my poem ! The waft and aura 

 of gasoline floating through my morn- 

 ing romanza ! 



The squawk and scatter of chickens, the 

 squeak of the old rooster who didn't 

 jump quick enough. 



See ! The robust Manhattanese, attired in 

 the usual costume, agile, elusive, pro- 

 fane just at present, getting out of the 

 road for dear life ! The impotence of 

 his cuss words ! The uselessness of the 

 protests of the apoplectic old lady! 



See ! The over curious calf standing in the 

 middle of the road ; the dog, impru- 

 dent, unforeseeing ; the two instantly 

 transformed into veal or sausage. 



Allons, mes enfants! Whoop! 



See! The festive chauffeur, rampant, chan- 

 tant, jubilant, moving the lever to let 

 the speed out another notch! Liber tad! 



See the wagon, the horses rearing and 

 plunging ! He is upon them. Crash ! 

 That was a good one ! The friendly and 

 flowing rustic, where is he? 



I am not only the poet of the chauffeur; 

 I do not decline to be the poet of the 

 cop also. 



See the suburban cop standing, ready to 

 pinch those who break the speed laws ! 

 The locomokoko furious arriving, the 

 chauffeur refusing to stop; the jigger, 

 enraged, shooting the tire of the car; 

 the tire punctured, the Red Devil 

 stopped. 



See the cop dragging the chauffeur before 

 a police judge; the judge imposing a 

 fine ; the chauffeur, reluctant, paying it. 



Justitia, ma femme, I salute you! I per- 

 ceive that once in a while you get there 

 with both feet! 



— Horace B. Matthews, in Life.
