The great prevalence of neuralgia"
says the London LG'acet-or what COM

Gates low or depressed state OF vitality,
and nothing so rapidly exhausts the

agonizes both body and mind. 1t IS,
therefore, of the first moment that
attacks of this affection, incidental to
and indicative of a poor and weak state,
should be promptly placed under treat
ment. and, as rapidly as may be, con
trolied. It is worth while to note this
fact, because, while the spirit of man
