These are, am aware bold assertions but they are
truths that will obtain footing in tie opinion OF every
physician with well balanced head if he viii examine
the subject in sober thought
There is such thing as debility" the or term
means nothing. There is, will admit, state OF system
where physical and mental powers are depressed, and
where weakness eneryaton and exhaustion, are promt

body, action which Expresses the healthy functions of

In inflammation Of the bowels is there not physical and

The particular object had in view in selecting the
subject of debiity for this weeks advertisement,
to speak of tct state condition Of system among fe
