Special Nervous Diseases.

How little the average man knows and
appreciates the suffering entailed on woman.
She may look the picture of health, fine
complexion and in full flesh. In no dis
ease, uncomplicated, are appearances so de-
ceptive-and it is for this reason her suffer-
ings are underrated. 1t is eminently de-
| ceptive disease. The chief agent of this de-
ception is the great sympathetic nerve.
Pains, as rule, are felt at the extremity or
nerve examinations The result is burning
on back and top of the head, soreness, a
feeling of weight or pressure, and throb,
bing; sensation as though the back would
break In two; dragging sensations on stand
ing or exertion; pain over heart; palplta-
in the knee and instep; flushing, easily
startled, and most excessively nervous;
sinking or telling away-called fsintlng
spells-and finally, in aggravated cases,
confined to bed, and in other eases
sleeplessness. Thousands of women are con-
stantly being treated for neuralgia, nervous
prostration, spinal disease and paralysis,
vainly, because the true seat of the trouble
has been overlooked.
Few women suffer from these troubles but
that experience one or more of the above
sensations. In appearance then such case
may be the picture of health, but in extent
of suffering, language could not depict 1T
too strongly. Is such disease common?
said in former Dispatch article that 70
per cent of adults suffer from dyspepsia. In
this plague to the sex three-fourths are
doomed to its tortures. 1t is alarmlngly
common. Imagine then the amount OF suf-
fering entailed on women.
This treatment is not only mild and most
effective, but point of equal Importance 1t

Female Weakness, Resulting In Nervous
Prostration, Treated II ears Ago.
GOOD INTENT, Washington Co., Pa.
DR.. S. g. Moore, "a Arch ST., Allegheny, Pa:
KIND SIR-Eleven years ago / was so
run down and prostrated by this disease,
and having failed to obtain relief from some
of the best doctors in this Co., determined
to consult you, having heard that you con-
fined yourself exclusively to the treatment
of nervous and chronic diseases. In 1873,
II years ago, as you will see BY your case
book, applied to you, being at that time
most thoroughly discouraged mentally and
prostrated bodily. What can / say strong
enough to express my gratitude as to the re-
suits? L followed your treatment nine
months and obtained what 1 feared 1 never
should regain-health. 1t is only after the
loss of it that one most fully appreciates
health-it is truly beyond price. 1t is now
over 10 years since your treatment, and 1
have had no return OF that dreaded disease
that so completely prostrated me. DR.. S.
G. Moore has my heartfelt thanks and best
wishes for his future success.

Dr. s. q. Moore "a Arch ST., Allegheny, Pa:
DEAR SIR-Five years ago consulted
you for the above ailments, from which
had been great sufferer for over four years.
Your treatment in nv case has been very
successful. That distressing aching and
pain in my side, the weak spells and ex-
hausted feelings have left me and may
truthfully add that have not felt so well
for years. can heartily recommend DR..
Moore, not only as being skillful in his spe-
cialty, chronic diseases, but also as kind
Christian gentleman, and one worthy the
confidence OF the afflicted.
