Especial Dispatch from Boston,
Not only weak and ailing men, but those
in health are indebted to DR.. Greene OF 81
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, for his brilliant
Boston Music Hall lectures.
The weak and ailing because he has pointed
out to them the means of recovering their
health strength and vigor; those in health
because he has shown the rocks and quick
sands where many IA gallant life bark has
been wrecked.
DIR. Greene was listened to with almost
breathless attention by the large audience of
men, who felt that they were hearing the
words of truth and wisdom fall from the lips
of one-as eminent for his medical skill as he
is distinguished for his discoveries in. the
domain of remedies, and famed for his mar
velous cures. In fact, there is no physician
in active practice to-day so well fitted, so
eminently qualified to discuss the conditions
brought about by overwork, imprudence and
excuses as DR.. Greene. He has made the
causes of the loss of vitality and vigor in
men and the conditions of debility and pre-
mature decay the study of his life, as those
who listened to him could easily discern.
DIR. Greene graphically described the grad
nal processes by which those in possession OF
health and vigor reach condition Of debility
and nervous prostration, the successive steps
and stages of decay. Nothing can be more
insidious than the approach of this foe OF
human happiness, the premature decay OF the
physical powers. 1t is the more insidious
from the fact that it does not always manifest
itself in physical forms, but often in mental
deterioration beginning with melancholla
and hypochondriasis. There is a loss OF
spirits, the subject is overshadowed by gloom,
nd &c mi hpD of
impending disaster. The intimate connec-
ton of the body and mind is thus shown, the
decay of the physical powers finding its first
manifestation in mental disturbances.
AS the malady makes progress the phys
zeal disorders show themselves. The body
becomes weak. There is consciousness of
loss of vigor and vitality that causes the
utmost alarm; the heart becomes affected
functionally, palpitation ensues on the least
exertion. Dyspepsia is a feature which fire.
quently introduces itself at this stage and
with it come attacks of dizziness accom-
panied by drowsiness and an indisposition to
exertion. In time stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels become functionally disordered.
The subject signs often, there is Il difficulty
of breathing at times, pain in the right or
left shoulder or both, and sometimes i'll the
chest and abdomen.

are the result. They produce wakeiulness at
night, or when sleep comes dreams and
visions ensue. Complete LIBERALIZATION fol-
lows, and though the victim may bear up
bravely and use every effort to conceal from
his friends the fact that he is paying the pen
atty for his errors and indiscretions, it is all
too apparent to them that there is something
wrong with him. The complexion has lost
its healttul tint, the color has gone from the
cheeks, the skin has become of dull leaden

become duh and lifeless, its brightness and
sparkle gone, the step has lost its springy
elasticity and become feeble and tagging, the
face has lost its vivacity and much of its
expression, and the erect pose of the form
can no more be maintained save by strong
physical effort and determination of the will,
neither of which can be long sustained.
Nature is compelling the victim to honor
the drafts he has made on her in the days of
his health and vigor. In the pride of his
physical power he made an overestimate Of
the strength of his vital resources, and now
he would give all he is worth for the privi-
lege of beginning all over again. Repent
ance has come, and an overwhelming regret
that he had not the common sense and the
prudence to live nationally and in harmony
with the laws of his being and those of
society.
But how much increased is the calamity if
at this time the victim of imprudence and
indiscretion is engaged to marry. With
shattered nerves, u constitution devitalized,
a prey to melaucholia and the blues, without
hope, can he contemplate the obligation to
which he has committed himself without
dread Impossible. With the consciousness
of his condition the obligation adds to his
misery, and increases his misfortune a thou
sandfold.
But all is not lost. There is still hope,
still a road to recovery for even the most des-
perate case. DIR. Greene now turned to the
b,.;u side If the nipturp and naiOte1 hat in
such glowing colors that there was no further
reason for anyone to despair. DIR. Greene
has made this condition of weakness, of men,
tai and physical debility the study of his life.

an indefatigability in research and investiga-
ton, he has succeeded in discovering the true
remedies for the restoration of the weak and
suffering. After years of unwearied investi-
CATION and experiment he discovered the

wonderful medicines are purely vegetable in
their ingredients and have been so carefully
brought together and so skillfully combined
