A Treatise on Nervous Debility, by DR.
SprouIe.
1t is well known that thousands, both
male and female, old and young, are suffer-
ing from diseases and arrangements of the
nervous system arising from intense mental
application, indulgence of the appetite, etc,
wasting diseases, and influences incidental
to modern life, everywhere affecting the
business qualifications, mental culture,
home enjCyments, family relations, welfare
Of offspring and perpetuation of family
names-the highest and noblest aspirations
of mankind.
1t has been asserted that nine-tenths of
all diseases which afilict mankind are at
tributed to nervous arrangements, which
nervous arrangements are, on their part,
mainly caused by excessive and unnatural
excitement of the nervous organization,
either as a whole or in part. The various
degrees and kinds of nervous prostration
that result, are alike in nature, though their
causes may be widely different.
Thousands are suffering in this way,
scarcely knowing what the matter is.
Among the busy passers-by in the broad
thoroughfare of life, we can easily pick out
those afflicted with nervous debility-may
be a young clerk, a student or a mechanic,
but what a change has come over himl A
few years ago he was a child robust and
stout, now thin and pale; he has not the
busy characteristic of a well man, but is
~listless in his manner, timid in his air.
Once his nerves were firm, his sep was
light and his hopes were high. Now hope
and ambition seldom find a place in his
bosom, his fresh vigor Of youth is replaced
by WEAKNESS of life, even while his feet are
but on it's threshold, his hand often wande
to his forehead, while a deep sigh escapes
him, telling of nervous exhaustion and a
mind brooding over darkling thoughts.
Speak to him! What is the matter? He
don't know, don't feel well, has felt this
way for some time, he gets no better, DOM
feel really sick, but easily fatigued, feels a
lassituds of body and mind, restless when
fatigued, and unable to obtain refreshing
sleep, has lost energy, appetite, power Of
enjoyment, frequently averse to society,
even of intimate friends, is bashful in So
ciety, unable to join in conversation, mem
DRY fails and all senses seem blunted, often
falls into dreamy fits OF abstraction, brood
ing over the past and hopeless to the flu
ture-all the noblest aspirations forgotten
which gilded the morning of his career, and
he cannot account for it, and the doctor
does not seem to do him any good or to
know the cause of the trouble. Poor fell
low! a sad tale; is there no solution? Yes.
his own evil habits and indulgencies, to a
great extent, have brought him to this con-
dition.
Thanks to the exertions OF medical science
aided by the researches of many skillful
physicians - thanks to important discov-
cries in chemistry, and to the light thrown
on the cause of disease by the use of the mi
croscope-cases as desperate as the above
are capable of cure.
1t is not the intention in this brochure to
in vestigate the numerous causes and or gin
of Nervous Debility, but to especially en-
deavor to arrive at the true principles of its
cure.
To these Investigations we have devoted
many years of study, and as a result, we
have proved conclusively, that Nervous
Debility, with its attendant evils, can be
cured, and cured permanently by an APP
propriate remedy. Such a remedy, we most
confidently assert, we can give you.
