Facts for All Men 10 COnsIder-A

Had few words to say.
To young and middle-aged men.
That is how DR.. Greene of "a Temple
pl., Boston, began his lecture last
Wednesday night at fremont Temple.
His few words, however, amounted to
the ,weightiesJ, most eloquent and power
fully instructive address which we be-
lieve the large audience of men present
had ever listened to.
And the lesson was needed.
Needed by the world, for the SUBJECTS
closely allied with the physical and men,
tai status of future generations; needed
by the young and middle-aged men, upon
whom posterity depends either for a
strong and vigorous race or a nation of
weaklings; needed by the thousands
who, through weakness and folly, are
suffering from nervous debility and ex-
hausttd vitality from these abuses and
excuses which so surely wreck the
mind, shatter the nerves and ruin COM
pletely all physical strength, energies
and powers, unless cured in time.
Youth is prone to weakness, and weak
ness allied with ignorance of conse-
quences makes indiscIetion and folly in
evitable. 1t is this fact which explains
to-day the thousands of partially wreck
ed constitutions among young men, and
weakened vitality, the shattered nerves,
the exhausted energies-the loss of that
noble strength and vigOr which go to
make the perfect man. 1t is power, vigor,
strength, which alone make man admir-
able; it is the energy of strong vitality
which makes him successful in whatever
work or business he undertakes, and if
he is
NERVE WEAKENED AND NERVE EX-
HAUsTED,
sapped of vigor and spent of vitality, en-
ervated and debilitated, he will make a
pitiaEle and abject failure of his life, his
hopes and ambitions, unless he takes
means to overcome his weakness and re-
gain his strength.
To such DR.. Greene's ably instructive
remarks were at once revelation,
warning and an encouragement.
Brought in daily contact with so many
of these sufferers, he above all other
physicians is most eminently qualified to
advise, direct and treat such cases.
Himself man of great sympathies, with
charity and knowledge of frailty and
weakness of human nature, he believes
that it is not the physicians province to
blame men for the results of ignorance,
but rather by good advice, counsel and
announcement to free the patients des-
pondent mind from the gloom and weight
of apprehension which has heretofore
hung over him like cloud, while at the
same time he brings his skill anu medi-
cines to bear to gradually but surely
restore him to health, strength and
vitality.
Now, what are the symptoms which
indicate this condition of lost vitality.
Dizziness.
Extreme nervousness.
Loss of memory.
Flushing of the face.
Dull feeling head and eyes.
Nervous tremors and tremblings.
Fluttering and palpitation of the
heart.
Dependency and depression of the
mind.
Inability to fix the mind for any
length of time upon one subject.
Loss of self-confidence, distaste for
company, desire to be alone.
Waking mornings, tired and unre-
freshed, with great sense of fatigue fol-
lowing drains upon the system.
General sense of weakness, languor,
dulness and exhaustion, with lack of
ambition and energy, and Discrimination
for mental or physical effort.
These are the
| MARKS OF THE DISEASE.
and they are plain to every one.
Now, it is a sad fact that some physi-
clans pretend to regard this complaint
| lightly, and assure patients that no in
| jury will follow. This is false, and the
| physician who makes such a statement
does so because he knows absolutely
nothing either of the disease or its
treatment.
1t is a most serious disease, danger
GUS condition to be in, and its conse-
quences to life and health are incalcuable.
Every sufferer knows that it is no trivial
complaint which is slowly but surely
sapping his very life, which he feels day
by day is exhausting his strength, para
| lying his energies and rendering him
weak and inefficient as man, darkening
all his future with gloom and despair,
and leaving him mere wreck-a sem
blance, as it were, of the strength and
vigor he formerly possessed.
The moral of this is for sufferers to
seek cure now while the disease is
durable, and not wait until it reaches an
| lncuraDle and hopeless stage.
The disease is perfectly durable one,
but requires great skill and experience
upon the part of the ply ician and above
by all the exact medicines eceSSdry to effect
the cure. The specialist alone, who study
and investigation thoroughly under
stands this class of diseases, and who by
| long experience and continuous success
has discovered the perfect treatment to
cure, is the physician to whom sufferers
should apply.
Such, in brief, was the lesson of DR..
| Greene's lecture.
And DIR. Greene knows whereof he
speaks. He has for many years made
this class of diseases and their treatment
a special study and stands to day the
BEST KNOWN AND MOST SUCCESSFUL
specialist in their cure in this country.
In fact, his discoveries in medicines as
prescribed at his office and prepared I'M
der his direct supervision at his great
medical laboratory are the only recognize
ed and established remedies which offer
to the sufferer from his distressing
complaint sure and positive guarantee
of cure.

men with shattered nerves, weakened
