A Question Involved Each of

A Letter of Powerful Interest
to Our Readers.

The eloquent Robert G. Ingersoll, in re-
cent communication to the New York
World, takes the ground that suicide is not
always a. sin. New York's most eminent
clergymen statesmen and judges inmedi-
ately filled the columns of that paper with
protestations against the great thinkers
theory.
What Mr.. Ingersoll really said and meant
was that under certain circumstances sui
eide was not a sin. For instance. he
thought that In case Of a. person suffering
with sickness and hopeless of a cure IL
would not be sin to end such suffering
by self-destruction.
Mr.. Ingersolls idea was the humanitarian
one Of arresting pain. But he forgot that
it is often difficult-nay, impossible to draw
the line when disease is durable or incur
able.
Mere suffering should not be a warrant
Cor self-cestruction. Countless cases of ter
ribls, yes excruciating suffering, have been
cured even after all hope was lost. and
doctors have pronounced the disease incur
able. Many a sufferer from disease has been
brought to the verge of suicide and after
wards recovered perfect health.
An estimable lady, Mrs. Lila c. Root, who
resides at SO Elm street, New Bedford,
Mass, tells the following facts:
II was very nervous, she said, "and my
kidneys were in a terrible state, and I had
awful pains in my back and side and could
not sleep ait night. My headache was a.
source of great annoyance, and suffered
If7ich at certain periods.
!. - cannot speak too highly of DIR. Greene's
Nerv,,ra blood and nerve remedy, for it
cured me of my terrible complaints. Why,
I felt So miserable that often thought
would take my own life. thank God for
directing me to this wonderful remedy.
deem it my duty to say that think DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
the best medicine in the world.
Case otter case like the above might be
cited, when all hope of cure had been
abandoned, and the persons given u9 %
die. and yet this wonderful medicine aa,
brought back health and joy unto the
stricken households.
Suicide is self-destruction. 1t is just as
much suicide to neglect ones health when
slightly i'll, or when apparently trivial
symptoms arise as to deliberately take
ones life. To feel nervous, to have weak
nerves. to be tired, listless. languid, to have
headache, indigestion, constipation 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 by prostration and prema-
ture death, unless attended to at once.
Suicide is a sin, and it is suicide to neglect
your health. Take this grand medicine. DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
and it will make you well and strong. Take
it because it cures; take it because it Is a
physicians prescription, the discovery OF
Dr. Greene, of 35 West Fourteenth street,
New York city, the most successful special
list in curing nervous and chronic diseases.
and who gives his great medicine double
value by allowing all to consult him, free OF
charge concerning their diseases, either
personally or by letter.
