watchwOrd of faith and promise: and is
of ncalcuable value and benefit to thou
sands struggling in our land Of fast liv
ing, tremendous activities and ruinOus
nervous tension.
One has but to look about in our daily
walks, with only the cOmmOneSt oppOr
tunities for observation and an uneducat-
ed eye. to detect the hapleSs victims of
this high nervous pressure.
They comprise the young with fields
of pre- IN before them rich in OppOrtu.

are unh ale to stand the strain. They in
Clude lhuse in middle life, who have
reached the golden mean of active devel.
opment, and who ought to be at their
best. but who realize their strength and
courage are slowly giving out.
They are found among those advanced
in years who should have reached tie
high goal toward which they had SO
long pressed, but who sigh, alas too late
for the strength a loving nature gave,
but of which they robbed themselves.
What pitabe object these, that thus
mar the landscape of our American life!
Sprngtime without its 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 appreciated,
but the most dangerous and destructive
are those insidiOuS and concealed sources
which are so characteristic of modern
social life that they almost seem an Incl.
dent of our civilization. From the over
tasked child at school to the effete and
languid man of advanced leisure, sam
pies multiply on every hand.
How does this terrible affection begin?
Above, beneath beyond all else, ner-
vOusness-nervous weakness-that state
when one seeks solitude, whed we find
COmpaniOnSbip irksome, when we wish
TO be alone, when we lose retentive facul
ties and it becomes impossible to fix the
mind on any given object for any length
OF time, when we experience general Ian
guor, weakness, dullness of sensations,
dizziness, a dimness of sight, loss of
memory, gloomy and depressed condi-
ton of mind, headache and faintness.
We blush at the slightest cause, are tim.
id, feel our nervous force give way are
sleepless, have no confidence, despair,
want ambition. suffer days of aimlesS
unrest and nights of unrefreSbing wake
fulness, disagreeable Taste that destroys
the appetite.
Then comes restlessness without actv
ity: tremulOus voice in excitement, iIri-
liability at the least prOvOcatiOn, dull,
cloudy lack of sensations, disagreeable
feeling we cannot explain, affecting the
head and eyes. and confused condition
Of mind we cannot control. At times we
realize weakness in the back and palpita-
ton of the heart, attended with pain and
discomfort. We have no force, no ener.
gy, no ambition. Hope and strength flee
away. Life is burden and a sorrow.
Suicide sometimes follows on the heels
of despair.
What is its meaning?
Nothing less than that the unhappy
victim is suffering from nervous debility
and that weakness will, unless checked,
eventuate in complete nervous prostra-
tiOn-in physical and mental wreck. The
inevitable consequences of a continued
condition like this are most fearful. No
language of tongue or pen can adequate
ly describe them. All hope fades unless
recovery is made possible. Unless the
destructive forces can be met and van
pushed, 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
skillful of the medical discoveries and
inventors, has dOGe SO much in this great

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
science, and some sure and reliable rem
edies for this class of patients, and while
others failed he found success; while
others CROPPED blindly in old and beaten
paths, he blazed a new way and came to
the sunny opening. Through hidden re-
cesses, in out Of.the way places, in field
and laboratory, by search and invention,
with patience that never tired and a
courage that did not falter, he worked
out the glorious results which have given

So unusual has been his success in
chronic instances that the Doctor feels,
and has the right to feel, his wonderful
