Special despatch from Boston.
Not only weak and ailing men, but those in
health are indebted to DR.. Greene of "a 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 quicksands where many
gallant life bark has been wrecked.
d. Greene was listened to with almost breath
less attention by the large audience Of men, who
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 marvellous cures. In fact, there is no
physician in active practice today so well fitted
so eminently qualified to discuss the conditions
brought about by overwork, imprudence aud eX-
cesses as DR.. Greene He has made the causes
of the loss OF vitality and vigor in men and the
conditions of debility and premature decay the
study Of his life, as those who listened to him
could easily discern.
DR.. Greene graphically described the gradual
processes by which those in possession of health
and vigor reach a 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 happi-
ness, the premature decay of the physical pow
ers. 1t is the more insidious from the fact that
i does not always manifest itself in physical
FORMS but often In mental deterioration begin
ming with melancholia and hypOchondriasls
There is loss Of spirits, the subject is overshad
owed by gloom, and there is an ever present APP
prehension Of impending disaster The intimate
connection of the body and mind is thus shown,
the decay of the physical powers finding its first
manifestation in mental disturbances.
AS the maady makes progress the physical
disorders show themselves. The body becomes
weak. There is a consciousness of a less of Wig
or and vitality that causes the utmost alarm: the
heart becomes affected functionally, palpitation
ensues on the least eXertion. Dyspepsia is a
feature which frequently introduces itself at this
stage and with 1t comes attacks of dizziness ac-
companied by drowsness and an indisposition to
exertlon. In time stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels become functionally disordered. The
subject signs often, there is difficulty of breath
jr at times pain in the right or left shoulder or
hnib an, sometimes in the chest and abdomen.
The nervousness increases with every stage of
progress. and the m ttiss ~ S ar

| Complete LIBERALIZATION follows, and though the
| victim may bear up brayely and use every effort
TO conceal from his friends the fact that he Is
paying the penalty for his errors and indscre-
tons, 1t is all too apparent to them that there is
something wrong with him. The complexion has
lost its heathful tint the color has gone from the
cheeks, the skin has become OF dull leaden
hue or taken on a sickly yellowish tinge that is
unpleasant to look upon; the eye has become
dull and likeness, its brightness and sparkle gone
the step has lost its springy elasticity and be-
come feeble and tagging the face has lost its vi
vacity and much Of its expression, and the erect
pose OF the form can no more he maintained
save by strona physical effort and determination
of the will, neither of which can be long sus-
tanned.
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 privilege Of beginning all
over again. Repentance has come and an over
whelming 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 indis-
erection is engaged to marry. With shattered
nerves, constitution devitalized, a prey to
melancholia 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 OBJ
legation adds to his misery, and increases his
misfortune a thousand fold.
But all is not lost. There is still hope, still
road to recovery for even the most desperate
case. DR.. Greene now turned to the bright side
of the picture and painted that in such glowing
colors that there was no further reason for any
one to despair. DR.. Greene has made this con-
dition of weakness, OF mental and physical de-
bility the study of his life. Possessed of bril-
liant and penetrative mind, an Individuality
In research and investigation, he has succeeded
in discovering the true remedies for the Iestora-
ton of the weak and suffering. After years Of
| unwearied investigation and experiment he dis
covered the only efficacious medicines that have
ever been applied sue essfully to the cure of this
| weakening and exhausting disease. These won
derful medicines are purely vegetable in their in
gradients and have been so carefully brought to-
| gether and so skillfuly combin I'd that the RENE
| dies give result which never fails to cure the
| weak and discouraged sufferer, and make him
| again strong, vitalized and vigorous man.
