street, New York city, cannot be re- garded as other than benefactor of his race His masterly lectures, grand ly illustrated, delivered in Chickering Hall, New York, on the subject of weakness, debility and disease in men, women and children, have aroused the careless and set the thoughtful think ing. We were impressed after hearing his powerful lecture last evening, with the great need that exists for such lec- lures. If man or woman will look over the list of their friends they will be surprised at the number who are suffering from weakness or ailments of one kind or other.
 Dr. Greens enormous practice, his long experience and his thoughtful in- vestigations have resulted in great good to thousands, and it is highly creditable to his humanity that he has made his knowledge free gift to the suffering.
 Dr. Greene has found that most of the ills from which men, women and children suffer are due to nerve weak ness, blood deterioration or functional disturbance of some organ or organs of the body These conditions do not come of themselves, but are the result of ignorance of the laws of health, neg lect of the body, irregularity, errors, inprudence and continued excesses. Overwork sometimes brings about condition of physical debility. Some people, in their overweening desire to make money, overtax the physical pow CTS by work, have insufficient sleep, ir- regular meals or break down in health from some irregularity or excess. There are some, too, who have to overwork themselves to earn enough to keep life in their bodies. In other words, they wear out to keep. themselves alive
 There is constant hurry in modern life We work rapidly, we eat rapidly, and even our pleasures are taken rap idly. There is the constant struggle for wealth the struggle for social dis tinction and the struggle for mere bread.
 Many, too, are born with a lack of moral restraint or with the love or pleasure so strongly innate that they do not care to exercise reasonable pow CTS of resistance. These are the peo- pie who plunge into or are easily led into excesses, who are guilty of errors and indiscretions, who consider only the present and are regardless of the future But this high pressure, wheth- CT in work or pleasure, cannot be kept up. When nature is pushed beyond the limits of her resources, she speaks, and in no uncertain voice. She has been urged and goaded too long, and the day comes when she refuses to respond.
 Nature has been throwing out sig nals from time to time that she was being pushed too rapidly and too far. These warnings have been in the form of attacks of vertigo occasional fits Of Indigestion. disorder of the stomach, liver or bowels, headaches or pain inya- rious parts of the body. But they were deemed only transient, and the pace was kept up. But as time passes these attacks become more frequent and re-. main longer. The insidious foe is creeping gradually into the citadel of life, and almost before the victim real izes it, the fortress is taken and the foe in possession
 
 ty for rashness, carelessness, impru- dence and error must be paid And the foe is exactfng and remorseless The body has become devitalized, all the vigor and energy have departed, the beauty has passed from the complexion, the eye has lost it's brightness and be- come dull, the hair has lost it's glossi- ness and become coarse, and may be falling out, the face has lost much of its vivaciousness of expression, the step becomes heavy there is an ever-pres- ent feeling of nervousness, disposition to incidence, a desire for seclusion, fits of gloom and despondency are frequent palpitation of the heart comes on at the least exertion, sleep refuses to visit the pillow at night, and when it does come it is accompanied by dreams, terror seizes the victim and despair sets in This is nervous prostration, the awful consequence of overtaxing or misusing the powers of nature.
 But there is still hope. All is not lost As there is a silver lining to every cloud, so there is a bright as well as a dark side to this picture, and Dr. Greene painted the bright with as SlTOuS d lOuCu oo iic iiou OiehWll thC dark Nerve weakness disordered or- gans. debility and disease have engag- ed the attention of Dr. Greene for many years He has in effect made these calamitous conditions the study of his life Investigating their causes and studying their effects, he set him. self to the task of finding the means of restoring to health the body and mind after so much had been done to destroy both. He applied himself to the discovery of remedies which would build up that which had been broken down, and after years of unwearied re- search and investigation, in discovering the marvellous medicines which have made his name famous throughout the country, which have effected so many wonderful cures, and which are ad- mitted to be the only positive, sure and effectual remedies that medical re- search has produced
 Dr Greenes' eminent standing, his distinguished position among medical men, his rank as the most successful specialist of the times, commend him to public confidence, and in consequence, his practice is something enormous, but his advice and treatment are always available for suffering wherever it is Do not think because of pr.
