The alarming disease Of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average Of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are 50
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed w:tcout ap-
parent reason, Or under so-ca0ed
depression Of spir!ts,'' y are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of it's power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wonan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they2 The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad 2ace' after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use Of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion Of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our: desperate willingness to
pay any price for al hours
pleasure OF SUCCESS. So We
burn lifa's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylunls
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being ;mpeded Or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally storved;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous pcostrasion sends
out its va12;ngs:-headache

dull beavineas or aching at the
haseof the 5:ss:;2:;; waSefulness;
loss ofappet:;tte and disgust with
food; loss Of laal2t;a:! energy and
interest n ordinary duties and
business; rost!5ss,.ess and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; errc.atlons; , bad
breath; foul 1rucoas on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation Of the heart; sal
lowness Of tie skin; coated
tongue ard gradual failure Of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donment of tie habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use Of Shaker Ertroct Of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community Of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia- TO do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
acb, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretjon Of bile, ex-
pelliDg waste matters from the
system, ,and purifying the blood.
Upon the nervous system
Shaker Eatyact(Seigel'sSyrup)
acts as a safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then Leaves
