Especial Dispatch from Boston,.
DR.. Greene's remarkable Boston Music
Hall private lectures to weak and utfer-
ing women have produced profound
impression. They are.somsthing 10 diff
erent from the ordinary talk which
women hear concerning their ills. Every
sentence which fell from the Doctors
lips seemed fraught with the profoundest
knowledge Of their con dition and was
listened b with an attention which
showed low thoroughly his hearers were

| DR.. Greene, who 10 Boston's most suc-
cessful socialist in nervous and chronic
diseases and whose office is al "a Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, showed, in his
clear ami lucid style. how the conditions
OF modem life have operated injuriously
on the PHYSICAL system of women and
| also produced nerve disturbances which
have aggravated in high degree the
! trou bIe of the body.
The weak and sick woman, q prey to
| nervoui prostration and its attendant
lniseri@, was graphically pictured and
the oatses OF her condition 60 clearly and
lucidly pointed out that every woman
l
the caase Of her troubles, hut had dis
| covered .rthe true method Of effecting
their lure.
Themodern woman lives under condi-
| ti0us greatly different from those which
governed the life of the woman of the
past. Domestic labor Ia now not the only
| occupation in which women are engaged.
They are now found in nearly every field
of industrial enterprise. and In many
departments Of labor that were formerly
alrlut wholly occupied by men.
/ Many OF these occupations are exacting
requiring long hours of patient applica-
tioI, nnu in some cases involving a
phyiical and nervous strain to which the
natural delicate frame of woman IL un-
equal The shop girl who stands all day
behind the counter, the seamstress ply
ing her needle hour after hour in the
snme position, the typewriter bending
over her machine for many weary hours,
the mill operative. the housewife and
school te.cher, each Of these may be. and
doubtless, is able to perform the duties
roq uired II in perfect health, but when
the frame Is delicate iserious physical
evils arelikely to arise resulting In the
end In nervous prostration, and those
distressing complaints peculiar -.
women.
A reasonable amount Of physical exer-
Oise Is beneficial, bat an excess of 1t
brings about disaster. But there are
many other causes besides those of over
work which contribute to produce the
Ills to which women are prey. Any
overtaIation of the vital energies Is
harmful.
Domestic cares often produce worry
andganxiety, and these operate on the
physical system to such an extent as to
cause serious evils. Neglect of simple
precautions for the preservation ofihealth,
reckl lass exposure, over.indulgence in
social pleasures interrupt the processes of
nature and form the starting point at
which the serious troubles begin.
Perhaps the first symptom Of approach
ing danger ia painful, irregular or sup
pressed menstruation, for the sympathy
between the uterine organ aud the vital
functions 10 very marked. Then follow
sick headache, nausea, indigestion, pain
and weakness in the back, lassitude,
languor and Q constantly increasing
nervousness. Dark orioles begin to show
under the eyes, and the eyes grow dull
and lustreless, tbs complexion becomes
sallow and lips lose their redness.
Exertion causes short and quick
breathing and sometimes palpltstion of
the heart; the bowels become irregular,
constipation follows, and we have the
weak and suffering woman, the woman
in condition of nervous. prostrationsand
female weakness.
Lie loses its relish, the prospect of
social pleasure creates no interest; the
smallest things worry and irritate and
the nervous system Is constantly on the
rack. Then follows the long train of dis
tress1ng symptoms Of local nature
which makes life utterly miserable,
such as inflammation, leucorrhoea,
falling or misplacement of the womb,
and more or less constant baokaohe
In sinh condition ,fp h-e
tai distress, 1t would be strange if
women preserved their natural amiabil-
lily OF character. They do not, they can
not; their nerves have gone beyond their
control, and they are likely in this corr
dition to make life very disagreeable to
all in familiar contact with them. There
cannot be any sweetness Of disposition
associated with grievous Ills.
moreover, there 10 @ gradual loss of
personal beauty, which is as much
source OF irritation gand worry as any
thing else. The personal charms begin
to showsdAcay ;the eye has lost it's bright
ness, the step its elasticity, the form its
rounded proportions and the woman her
womanly sweetness.
But DR.. Greene after drawing this
dark picture did not leave his breathless
attentive listeners to despair.
lie spoke cheering words to them, and
gave them hope to carry away In their
hearts.
What use to point out to them the ills
unless he could also point out the remedy
1or their oqrep DR.. Greene has not only
made the diseases of women bis study,
out also the means for their cure. He
has devoted his life to finding out the
proper remedies for female diseases and
the restoration of weak and suffering
women to health.
He is the discover of the only afPeo-
tual medicines that arrest decay and build
up. restore vigor and strength and bring
back the beauty that was fading.
DR.. Greene's medicines have accom-
plished wonderful cures, and his name Is
household word throughout the length
and..breadtb or the land, There is no case
SO hopeless and desperate that his knowl-
cage and skill cannot reach and cure. He
eoday the most suoooessful specialist In
uhis country and has won his way to this
eminent position by profound research
and enormously large experience IN
Treating these complaints. His nedi-
