AN OBSTINATE CASE.
The Wonderful Narrative of Patient
Sufferer.
A Most Powerful and Impressive Lesson.

Diseases Of the nervoussystem are without
doubt the most common of all affections at
thepresentday. Nervousness and exhausted
nervous vitality are not only frequent but
distressing diseases. The terrible ravage
OF these diseases is not confined to any par
| ticular age, the young, middle e-aged and old
alike being subject to their distressing In
| fluence. The following statement wasmade
| to the reporter by Mr.. G. NJ. Sorrels, who re-
sides at 1884 our-and "a half street south
west: Il am employed at the National Mu-
scum is an engineer. Ihave been sufferer
from nervous debility for several years.
About six months ago my trouble assumeda
| seriousform; hadseyere pain inmy head and
| spine dizziness, loss of memory, fluhsing of
| the face, dull feeling head and eyes, nervous
| tremors and tremblings, despondency and
| depression OF mind, inability to fix the mind
| for any length of time on one subject, loss of
| self-coDfidence, distaste for company, desire
| to be alone, and periods of insomnia. Six
| weeksago placed myself under the care or
! DR.. walker, the specialist, and feel it my
| duty to my fellow men to unhesitatiugly say
| that his treatment has worked a wonderful
change; my nerves are now steady, my sleep
| restful, and instead OF waking as formally
| did, more tired than when went TO bed,
| now wake rested and eager for the duties
| of the day. j know that DR.. Walker has
| done great deal for me, and cheerfully
| recommend MIN 10 any Que IlOiil
| the same complaint as did. j will gladly
substantiate the above TO any who will
| call on me at my home 234 Four -and-a- half
| street southwest" Many men who had
! formerly suppose dthemselves possessed OF
a powerful physique and strong and steady
nerves, wonder at theirfeeling ofeXhaustion,
| lassitude and lack of inclination forphysical
! or mental exertion. Where before they had a
| feeling OF strong and vigorous nerve power,
always ready for any mental or physical
| work, they now have only a sense OF weak
ness, languor aud dullness. Business men,
| whoseprosperityd depends supontheirclearness
| OF brain and mind find their mental strength
! impaired and their endurance and power
| TO work diminished. Professional men,
students and clerks, whose brain, being con-
stantly active, require more than ordinary
| amount of nerve force, often find theirpowe
of thought decreased. Where formerly they
could endure many consecutive hours of
| close application of their mind, they
now find that the thoughts wander. Ac-
| companying this there is apt to be AT
| extreme nervous and irritable condition,
q dull, cloudy sensation about the head
and eyes. As this condition continues and
| the above symptoms become more pro-
nounced there is usually q arrangement
| of the digestive organs. There is often a
| bad taste in the mouth, especially III the
morning, dizziness, constipation, flatulenCy,
| pam ABOUT lne HtdEi, pdlpiidllbHs QtslitsS
! after eating, followed by bloating. Per
sons thus affected are apt to become de-
spondent, melancholy, blue, and gen.
orally wretched The nerves become so
[ weakened after a time that the least ex-
citement or shock brings on trembling,
and frequently a sense of heart failure.
! Thousands of people right here in Washing
| ton to-day are suffering from a portion
or all of these symptoms, and yet do not
realize that they are suffering from ex-
haustcd nervous vitality, from overwork,
! brain-fag, or those eXCesses and abuses
which will inevitably break down the
strongest constitution unless proper steps
be taken to guard against such a terrible
ending
1t is the old, old story, but it brings new
! hope to thousands of weary sufferers, for
il tells OF DR.. Walkers unparalleled sue
cess in curing all nervous and chronic
diseases-of restoring to perfect health
and happiness the victims of Catarrh,
asthma, consumption, dyspepsia, scrof-
| ula, paralysis, epilepsy, nervous pros
/ tration, rheumatism, malaria, neuralgia,
| hemorrhoids, diseases OF women, heart
disease kidney and liver troubles, and
| many other ailments that BATTLE the aver

aged men who are suffering from the eff
| fects of their own youthful follies and eX'
cesses that they may be restored to the
