The eloquent Robert G. Ingersoll, in
recent communication to the New York
World, takes the ground that suicide is
not always a sin New York's most emf
uent clergymen, statesmen and judges,
Immediately filled the columns of that
paper with protestations against the
great thinkers theory.
What Mr.. Ingersoll really said and
meant was, that under certain circum-
stances suicide was not sin. For in
stance, he thought that in case of per-
son suffering with sickness and hopeless
of cure, it would not be a sin to end
such suffering by self destruction.
Mr. IngersolPs idea was the humani-
tartan one of srresting pain. But be
forgot that it is often difficult, nay, i'm
possible to draw the line when disease
is durable or incurable.
Men suffering should not be warrant
for self-destruction. Countless cases of
terrible, yes, excruciating suffering, have
been cured even after all hope was lost,
and doctors have pronounced the disease
incursble Many 9 sufferer from disease
i has been brought to the verge of suicide
and afterwards recovered perfect health.
An estimable lady, Mrs. Lila c. Root,
who resides at SO Elm St., New Bedford,
| Mass, tells the following facts;
II was very nervous" she said, ''and
| my kidneys were in a terrible state, and
| | had awful pains in my back and side
and could not sleep at night. My head
ache was a source of great annoyance,
and suffered much at certain periods.
81 cannot speak too highly of DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy, for it cured me of my terrible com.
| plants. Why, felt so miserable that |
| often thought 1 would take my own life.
| thank God for directing me TO this won
| derful remedy. | deem it my duty to
say that / think DR.. Greene's Nervura
! blood and nerve remedy the best medi'
| cine in the world"
| Case after case like the above might be
cited, when all hope of cure had been
abandoned, and the persons given up to
| die, and vet this wonderful medicine has
brought back health and joy unto the
stricken households.
Suicide is lf.destruction. 1t is just s
much suicide to neglect ones health
when slightly ill, or when apparently
trivial symptoms arise, as to deliberately
take ones life. To feel nervous, to have
weak nerves, to be tired, lisUless, languid,
to have headache, indigestion, constipa.
tion and dyspepsia, to pass sleepless
nights, to wake tired mornings, to be
ever so slightly run down in health and
strength-these are the sure precursors of
serious diseases, to be later followed oy
prostration and premature death, unless
attended to at once.
Suicide is a sin, and it is suicide tc
neglect your health. Take this grand
medicine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, and it will make you
we'll and strong. Take it because il
cures; take itsbecause it is a physician'i
prescription; the discovery of DR.. Greene
of 35 West 14th St., New York City, tn,
most successful specialist in curing ner
vous and chronic diseases, and who give
his great medicine double value by al
lowing all to consult him, free of charg
concerning their diseases, either per
sonally or by letter.
