A Dramatic and Thrilling Picture Worthy

Ten years ago there was no SUCH word
as paresis. 1t cannot be found in Web
ster's dictionary, now it is. part of the
vocabulary of every man who thinks
and reads. Why? Simply because it
has crept into the language, as the horri-
BILE disease which bears its name has crept
into the brain of many men.
BARLEY Campbell was a brilliant and
successful play writer. Paresis claimed
him. Insanity and death followed.
Charlie Johnes, the most brilliant
member of the New York Stock Ex-
change, followed Campbell. 1t used to
be "what Charlie Johnes said bought,
sold, and how he dressed" in Wall
street six years ago. Now he is not even
name. Paresis.
John Mccullough, the great TRACE
dian, died of softness of the brain-pare-
sis. Tony Hart was the next victim.
Paresis set in. He was taken to Bloom
ingdale, where he died few years ago.
George Knight, the famous actor, fol-
lowed Hart, same cause, .paresis. Will
liam Seaman followed him; same cause,
paresis. Henry Kernall followed Scan
Ian: same dreadful cause, paresis.
Bright's disease is a consumption of
the kidneys. Consumption is vast
ing away of the lungs. Paresis is con-
sumption of the brain.
PareSls comes to overweight brains;
to men who burn the candle at both ends
and in the middle; to men who turn day
into night and night into an inferno.
1t comes to men who cannot stand
success. 1t comes to men who connot
control their appetites.
In the first stage the victim is Sgoing
to do wonders. He is going to revoluti-
oniZe things. He is abnormally good
natured, but he cannot get away from
himself and his schemes for two con-
secutive minutes. The hIg punctuates
almost every sentence. The second stage
comes. The victim forgets names. He
often has to stop few seconds before
he can recall familiar names. He is
neavous, restless, fretful and has Sleep
less nights from which he awakes tired
and exhausted. He is always in hurry.
He listens instead of talks. He looks at
his friends in the most pathetic manner,
unconsciously.
He drifts into the third stage. He
thinks that his enemies are as the sand
on the shore. He grows moody and de-
pressed in mind. He is always preoc-
cupied. He speaks in monosyllables.
He neglects his dress and has no care of
his personal appearance.
The fourth stage finds him at a loss
for words. He begins a sentence, but
never finishes it. He speaks as if he had
two tongues in his mouth. He acts and
talks so eXtravagantly that his friends
induce him to enter a carriage for "a
little drive to an out-of-town hotel"
1t turns out to be the asylum for the in
sane.
He appears to rally as the days go by.
In reality, he dosen't. He sits for hours
gazing at nothing. That is the saddest
scene of all. He tries to recall things
1t is pitiful to watch him, and have him
look at you as if for help. Week after
week he grows more helpless. In time
he is like year old baby. Then he dies
There is way out of this dreadful
visitation, in its early stages. 1t may
be prevented. 1t does not invariably
come from dissipation, for Ralph Waldo
Emerson died of it, and Guy de Maui
PEASANT is dying from it.
DIR Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy will cure victims in the early
stage of paresis. 1t will feed the brain
tissues and fill the brain cells. 1t will
make new blood and muscle. 1t will
make the nerves strong. DIR Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy

taken in time. Take it when the first
symptoms appear and you are saved.

is harmless and the most valuable
remedy in the world. 1t has cured
thousands and thousands of mans
many deadly ills. DIR Greene, the sue
cessful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, is the discoverer of it.
