Meets with great success I'm the
cure Of
Diseases Of the Nervous System.

Almost nine-tenths Of our people suffer from
nervous exhaustion, and are. therefore. liable
to its cOncomitant evils Of mental depression,
confused ideas. softening Of the brain insanity,
and complete breaking down Of the general
health. Thousands are suffering to-day with
broken-down nervous systems, and, unfortun-
ately. tobacco. alcohol, late hours. over-work
mental and physical. are causing diseases OF
the nervous system to increase at fearful
ratio.
The symptoms 10 which diseases OF the ner-
vous system give rise may be stated as follows
A dull. heavy feeling in the head. sometimes
more or less severe pain or headache; Period
zeal Headache. Dizziness. Noises or Ringing
in the Head Confusion Of Ideas; Temporary
Loss Of Memory; Detection Of Spirits; Starting
During Sleep; Bad Dreams; Hesitation in An
swering Questions; Dizziness Of Hearing
Twitching Of the Pace and Arms. ETC., which,
IL not promptly treated, lead to Paralysis. De
lrium. Insanity, Impoteney, Apoplexy' etc.
etc.

BLADDER. .t
Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions of the Kidneys cannot estimate the
importance of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys
is as important, nay, even more so, than regu-
larity of the bowels. The Kidneys remove
from the Blood those effete matters which, II
permitted to remain, would speedily destroy
life. total suspension of the urinary dis
charges will occasion death from thirty-six to
forty EIGHT hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quanti-
ties at the time, or when there is disposition
to Urinate more frequently than natural, OF
when the Urine is high colored or scalding
with weakness in the small of the back, il
should not be trifed with or delayed. but Kos
kOo should be taken at once to remedy the
difficulty, before a Lesson Of the organs takes
place. Most of the diseases Of the Bladder
originate from those of the Kidneys, the Urine
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys,
prove irritating to the Bladder and Urinary
passages. When we reeollect that medicine
never reaches the Kidney except through the
general circulation of the Blood. we see how
necessary ] is to keep the Fountain Of Life
Pure.
