DR.. Greene's lectures are always in
spring. They proclaim a new gospel
of hope to suffering humanity. And
in this particular his lecture in Music
Hall, Boston, Mass, surpasses them
all. 1t is a watch-word of faith and
promise; and is of incalculable value
and benefit to thousands struggling in
our land of fast living, tremendous
activities and ruinOus nervous tension.
One has but to look about in our daily
walks, with only the commOnest OPP
portunities for observation and an UNI
educated eye, to detect the hapless VIC
TINS of this high nervous pressure.
They comprise the young, with fields
of promise before them rich in Oppor-
tunities. They tire ere the race is run
and are unable to stand the strain.
They include those in middle life, who
have reached the golden mean of active
development, and who ought to be at
their best, but who realize their strength
and courage are slowly giving out.
They are found among those ad-
vanced in years who should have
reached the high goal toward which
they had SO long pressed, but who sigh,
alas! too late for the strength loving
nature gave, but of which they robbed
themselves.
What pitiable objects these, that thus
mar the landscape of our American life!
Spliugtime without it's bloom, summer
wanting flower and fruit, autumn bleak
and bare before its frosts.
Many causes are capable of creating
this condition of
Nervous and Physical Prostration:
many easily understood and apprec,
ted, but the most dangerous and i.
structive are those insidiOus and con
cealed sources which are SO characters
tic of modern social life that they al
most seem an incident of our civiliza-
ton. From the overtasked child at
school to the effete and languid man of
advanced leisure, samples multiply on
every hand.
How does this terrible affection be-
gin?
Above, beneath, beyond all else, nerv-
ousness-nervous weakness-that state
when one seeks solitude, when we find
companionship irlsome, when we wish
to be alone, when we lose retentive
faculties and it becomes impossible to
fix the mind on any given object for
any length of time, when we expert
ence general languOr, weakness, dull
ness of sensations, dizziness, dimness
of sight, loss of memory, gloomy and
and depressed condition Ofmind, head
ache and faintness. We blush at the
slightest cause, are timid, feel our ner-
vOus force give way, are sleepless, have
no confidence, despair, want ambition,
suffer days of aimless unrest and nights
of unrefreshing wakefulness, a disagree
able taste that destroys the appetite.
Then comes restlessness without
activity; tremulous voice in excitement,
irritability at the least provocation, a
dull, cloudy lack of sensations, dis
agreeable feeling we cannot explain,
affecting the head and eyes, and con-
fused condition of mind we cannot con-
troll. At times we realize weakness in
the back and palpitation of the heart,
attended with pain and discomfort. We
have no force, no energy, no ambition.
Hope and strength flee away. Life is
burden and sorrow. Suicide some
times follows ON the heels of despair.
What is it's meaning?
Nothing less than that the unhappy
victim is suffering from nervous de-
bility and that weakness WILL unless
checked, eventuate in complete nervous
prostration-in physical and mental
wreck. The inevitable consequences of
continued condition like this are most
fearful. No language of tongue or pen
can adequately describe them. All
hope fades unless recovery is made pos
sible. Unless the destructive forces
can be met and vanquished, the sun of
Austerlitz must go down in the night
of Waterloo.
But what is the cure?
What will bring health?
No man, among all the learned and
skilful of the medical dis over, aud in
ventors, has done SO much in this great
work for humanity in behalf of these
suffering patients, as has DR.. Greene of
"a Temple Place, Boston, Mass. Early
in his extensive practice he realized the
vast and important need of a more
thorough knowledge in this branch of
medical sciene, and some sure and reli-
ble remedies for this class of patients,
and while others failed he found sue
cess; while others CROPPED blindly in old
and beaten paths, he blazed new way
and came to the sunny opening.
Through hidden recesses, in out-of-the-
way places, in field and laboratory, by
search and invention, with patience
that never tired and courage that did
not falter, he worked out the glorious
results which have given him his great
fame, and humanity cure for this
most fearful affiictiOn.
His success has far exceeded his fond
est anticipations.
In the vegetable kingdom, wherein
Divinity has planted healing plants for
all tie ills of the flesh, he found the
things he needed, and 50 skilfully has
he compounded them that a wonderful
and complete cure has been supplied
for this terrible weakness. Thus is he
able 10 restore to the afflicted this lost
vitality, in every case, however difficult
or long standing.
