MEDICAL TREATMENT.

The first difficulty meet with in the
proper treatment of nervous prostration
is to get my patients rid of the many
nervines, stimulants and sedatives which
they have usually become accustomed to
before consulting me. 1t would be diff
cult to oyer-estimate the damage these
drugs do in such cases.
Bromides, valerinates. chloral, opium
in every form, caffeine, cocaine, and
many others are all alike Of great injury
and Of no possible good. To get all
these and many other similar remedies
away from the patient, and Pc una in
their stead, is the first thing to be ac-
complished.
Before the patient has taken Pe-ru-na.
to the exclusion of everything else, six
months there is a marked change in all
the symptoms The appetite becomes
regular, sleep natural, and every dis
agreeable symptom improved. Oh

Nervous proStratiOn (neurasthenia).
spinal anWmia. nervousness and weak
ness are different names given to an
affection of the nervous system, which
is becoming more and more common.
The habits Of the average American is. in
almost every particular, calculated to
produce this form of nervous disorder.
Hard work, close competition, business
uncertainties, little sleep and high liv-
ing, the use of narcotics. al tend alike
to injure the nervous system. The dress
and customs of polite society, the ever
increasing pressure of business circles,
the reckless indulgence of the sporting
classes. each furnish their quota to
swell the terrible list of nervous wrecks
that crowd the many hospitals and
sanitariums of our country. Thousands
remain at their homes, desperately try
ing to 60 through the tedious routine Of
the duties of household, farm, shop, or
office, taking nervine after nervine,
vainly striving to put off the day when
they shall break down altogether. A
burden to themselves, trial 10 their
friends, these unfortunate people con-
tinue to drag out miserable existence

SYMPTOMS.


Probably the most invariable symp-
tom in the history of nervous prostra-
ton is morbid fear a forboding Of
calamity Of some sort. vague apprehen-
sions, a sense that something awful is
about TO happen, often proceeds for
long time the general debility which is
to follow The loss Of vitality of the
nervous system deranges the functions
more or less Of every organ in the body.
The head is one day congested with too
much blood, and perhaps the next day
pallid, because OF too little blood
Twitching Of the eyelids, moving brown
specks before the eyes. and metallic
ringing in the ears, are the result of
brain exhaustion. The appetite and
digestion may remain good, although
loss of appetite and nervous dyspepsia
are very often prominent symptoms in
such cases. Sour stomach after eating
with belching of gas, is very trouble
some-a feeling Of great weight in the
stomach after eating a full meal, pro-
ducing in some cases a terrible depres-
sion, causing the patient indescribable
suffering, even when the appetite and
digestion remain good.
Morbid fear of leaving home, OF be-
ing separated from their usual attend
ants, also of taking medicine for fear of
beinA poisoned, fear of great storms, of
crowded assemblies, all or either and
many others are likely to be present in
decided case of nervous prostration. A
constant desire to talk of their symptoms
is commonly so great as to make it diff
fcult to keep such patients long at q
time talking or thinking Of anything
else. Chills and hot flashes of very If.
regular duration and recurrence come
and go without seeming cause. The
hands and feet are usually cold and
clammy, and the general tendency is to
dryness and GOODNESS of the skin of the
whole body.
Among the symptoms to which this
class of patients are liable, but not always
present, may be mentioned neuralgia
headache, nervous chills, hysteria, sink
ing or faint spells, distressing palpitation
OF the heart, defective eyesight total in
ability to read, write, or do any business;
urine abundant, without color, loss of
flesh, sleeplessness, sexual excitability,
and many others, Of which each case
presents different array.
II is generally impossible to keep the
bowels regular by any hygienic meas
ures, as the patient is unable to take
exercise enough to keep up the natural
action of the bowels. An effective and
gentle laxative that does not weaken or
disturbe digestion is very desirable
remedy in these cases, but hard to find.
| have found Man q lin to be by far
/ the best laxative in these cases have
ever been able TO procure. There is
no laxative the equal of MGn-a-lin in
cases where natural movement of the
bowels is desirable rather than active
purgation
