The narrative below bya prominent sci
enlist touches q subject of universal I'm
portance. Few people are free from the
distressing evils which hypochondria
brings. They come at all times and are
fed by the very fame which they them
selves start. They are dread Of coming
arrangement caused by present disorder
and bring about more suicides than any
other one thing. Their first approach
should be carefully guarded.

Il is seldom I appear in print and /
should not do so now did I not believe my
self in possession Of truths, the revelation
OF which will prove of inestimable value
to many who may ses these lines. Mine
has been trying experience. For many
years / was conscious of a want of nerve
tone. My mind seemed sluggish and I felt
certain falling of in my natural condi-
ton OF intellectual acuteness, activity and
vigor. presume this is the same way in
which an innumerable number of other
people feel, who like myself are physically
below par, but like thousands OF others I
paid no attention to these annoying trou-
bles, attributing them to overwork, and re.
sorting to glass of beer or a milk punch,
which would for the time invigorate and
relleve my WEAKNESS.
Alter awhile the stimulants commenced
to disagree with my stomach, my weari.
ness increased, and l was compelled to
resort to other means to find relief. If Q
physician is suffering he invariably calls
another physician to prescribe for him, as
he can not see himself as he sees others; so

seemed to increase; my food distressed
me. l suffered from neuralgia pains in
different parts of my body, my muscles
became sore, my bowels were constipated,
and my prospects for recovery were not
very fattsring. / stated my case to
another physician, and he advised me to
take five to ten drops Of Magende's solu.
ton of morphine, two or three times a day,
for the weakness and distress in my
stomach, and q blue pill every other night
to relieve the constipation. The morphine
produced such . deathly nausea that /
could not take it, and the blue pill failed
to relieve my constipation.
In this condition passed nearly year,
wholly unfit for business, while the effort
to think was irksoms and painful. My
blood became impoverished, and suffered
from incapacity with an appalling sense of
misery and general apprehension of com.
ing evil. passed sleepless nights and was
troubled with irregular action of the heart,
q constantly feverish condition and the
most excruciating fortunes in my stomach,
living for days On rice water and cruel,
and, indeed, the digestive functions seemed
to be entirely destroyed.
1t was natural that while in this condi.
tion should become hypochondrical and
fearful suggestions of seif-destruction oc-
casionally presented themselves. l ex-
perienced an Unsuitable desire for sleep,
but on retiring would lie awake for long
time tormented with troubled reflections,
and when at last / did fall into an uneasy
slumber of short duration, it was disturbed
by horrid dreams. In this condition de-
termined to take trip to Europe, but in
spite of all the attentions o. ply sicians and
change of scene and climate, did not inn

Among the numerous friends that called
on me was one who had been afflicted
somewhat similarly to myself, but who
had been res .ored to perfect health. Upon
his earnest recommendation / began the
same treatment he had employed but with
little hope of being ben fitted. At first I
experienced little, if any, relief, except
that it did not distress my stomach as
otner remedies or even food had done. I
continued its use, however, and after the
third bottle could see q marked change
for the better, and now after the fifteenth
bottle am happy to state that am again
aDle to attend to my professional duties.
