CIVILIZATION AND HEALTH
Diseases Increase With Culture--Dr.
X. A. Walker and the Neuroses.

Beyond doubt, the nearest approach to
health to-day is found among savages
Many men and women among savage peo-
pie do not know what 1T is TO suffer IA Gays
sickness from birth to death when sur
rounded by savage environment. Bring
them into civilization and they perish
rapidly. This last fact is due to two causes.
In the Ilrst place, thesayage ageconditionisniore
conducive TO health. A oause quite as inn
portant MAJ be found in heTedity. Place
an ordinary citizen of Washington in
savage country and he would probably
grow strong, for the reason that he comes
of a long line of ancestors who have be-
come in various periods accustomed TO all
sorts of conditions. The savage comes OF
race whose ancestors knew but one en-
vironment.
WHAT HAS THIS TO DO
with nervous diseases? 1t is simply pointed
out TO show that the native constitutions
OF our people, the force from behind, the
inherent vigor OF the average American is
able to overcome much when the proper
treatment is at hand. We see all about this
city specimens of the over-civiliZed, over
worked man, whore follies, vices, or ex-
acting occupation is 'rinipas ijs piIys'' al
manhood. Many of these finding that there
is something wrong, make an earnest effort
to get well They try remedies aud doctors
withoutsuccess, aud thenthey say 'thereif no
help for me-" All such should consult DR..
r. A. Walker, the specialist.
TOO MUCH BICYCLING.
1t is a well known fact that every great
invention, every advance in science, has
broght with it new disease aud a new
menace to happiness. The bicycle craze
has injured thousands OF men. Pressure
nn
gestiop, aud in time permanent disorders.
People who are compelled to use the tele-
phone great deal have developed peculiar
neurotic constitution, undoubtedly due
to this cause. The same is true of the
electric light.
Statements of Well-known Citizens.
A CONTRACTOR STORY.
Mr.. Richard j. Horn, government con-
tractor, residing at 1910 A street south
east, says: IT am well known in Wash.
iIgton, for / was born here, and have al
ways lived here. For long time have
suffered from heart trouble. Last fall il
got so much worse, and the palpitation so
terrible, that / certainly thought IL would
kill lie. j suffered from Indigestion, was
dizzy, blue, moody, Respondent, nervous,
terribly constipated, and almost tired of
living. / had tried so many doctors that
j bad become discouraged; they all told
me they could cure me but they didn't.
Through reading of the many wonderful
cures performed by DE-. Walker tsome OF
them being acquaintances of mine) / was
tempted to make one, more effort, so
placed myself in his care. Strange as ii
may seem, | began to- improve from the
very first day, and my Improvement has
been steady aud continuous ever since.
! feel that DR.. Walker did for me that
which other physicians could not do, and
/ earnestly urge all sufferers to give him
a trial. I will deem it a pleasure to YER
ify the above statement at any time TO
those who will call at my home, 1910 A
street southeast"
FEELS BETTER THAN IN EIGHT YEARS.
Mr. George Griffin, fireman at the
shoreham Hotel. and who resides at 1109
E street southwest, says: 81 have been q
constant sufferer from nervousness and
general debfity since. 1881. Although
have tried dozens of doctors, both in this
city and Elsewhere, i can truthfully say
/ never received The Slightest benefit until
/ called on DR.. walker, the specialist.
When / went to other doctors and told
them i was suffering from extreme ner-
vousness, dizziness, loss OF memory, flut-
tering and palpitation OF the heart, de-
spondency, and depression of mind, ina
bility TO fix the mind for any length or
time on one subject, general sense of
weakness, languor, dullness, and exhaus-
ton, with lack OF ambition and energy
and disinclination for physical or mental
effort they did not seem to understand.
1 spent over $500 i'll trying to get well
before coming to DR.. Walker, and now, in
only q weeks time, feel better than
have for eight years. The above testi-
mony is conclusive proof that DR.. Walker
cures after other physicians give you
up or fail to benefit you. DR.. Walker is
especially desirous of inviting those who
have lost faith and confidence through
their repeated failures TO obtain relief.
A SAD FACT.
II is a sad fact, which many realize,
that the high fees charged by most ply
sicians are a very serious burden upon
patients, especially when the cost of hav-
ing their prescriptions filled is added. Dr..
Walkers fees are within the reach of all
and he furnishes all his own medicines.
Dr. r. A Walker is every day adding Il
his surprising record in curing disorders o
the brain and nervous system, diseases 0
|. the skin and blood, consumption, catarrh
asthma, malaria, rheumatism, dyspepsia
and all affections of the stomach liver, kid
neys and bladder, diseases OF women, heart
bIOuDlcos cSS
Many men are suffering from nervous de
bility, impaired memory, low spirits, an,
the various arrangements of body and
mind due to pernicious habits contracted
in youth, or to later excesses, resulting il
loss of manly power, wrecked constitu
tions, and not infrequently in softening o
the brain, epilepsy, paralysis, and eve
insanity. To reach and reclaim these un
fortunates is one of Dr. Walkers aims, ant
he has been the means of restoring hundred
of them to health and happiness.
DR.. Walker may be consulted free o
charge, personally or by letter. His pei
manent office is at 1411 Pennsylvania
avenue, adjoining Wizards Hotel. OF

Charges for treatment very low.
In res ponse to many inquiries DR.. Wake
