The worlds Greatest blight.
The almost universal condition Of
weakened nerve force that prevails among
the civilized people OF al nations and
more especially In those countries ana
towns where the greatest business and
social activity prevails. II IS one Of the
crying evils OF our time that men and Voc
men become q physical wreck at period
IN their lives when they should repre-
sent the perfection Of physical and mem
tai force. The fact IL that the require
ments Of business and social life impose
such a hurly-burly, feVerish, nervous,
brain consuming, body neglecting meth
Cd Of living that only the strongest con-
ditions can endure the constant strain
and maintain a healthy equilibrium.
The most populous public institutions
to-day are the asylums for the insane,
and It IL unquestionably fact that mod
ern business methods, social customs and
excuses that weaken the vital forces,
are the underlying causes for the con-
stantly increasing percentage of insanity.
In the desperate effort that men and
women OF to-day are obliged TO make to
maintain the constantly Tagging ener-
giles and to keep up with the procession"
there grows upon them "a constantly In
creasing resort TO artificial methods OF
stimulation. Alcoholic drinks, narcotic
modern device to produce temporary ex-
hilaration are resorted to.
Inc result Is something appalling. VIC
tins OF what is known as the opium habit
are at every hand. Extensively and wide
ly advertised Institutes for the treatment
Of what are called nervous diseases, in
somnia, debility, weakness, atrophy, lost
vitality, drunkenness. etc, are almost
numberlees and their patronage IL as
tOnishingly large. II Is drawn from every
class and its Affections not confined to any
age. The young man scarcely out Of
his teens the middle-aged man, the old
man with but a few years before him,
the society belle, the matfOn, the maiden,
the wife, the son. the daughter, an are
victims, and they come to such place as
a last desperate resort. with q faint hope
that even a temporary relief may be
found for the awful condition in which
their excuses or weaknesses have left
them. 1t sounds like mockery to say
that means Of universal relief from such
Affections has been found and We're It not
a feature in connection with such an
sertion that the remedies are offered with
an unequivocal guaranty that a complete
cure will be effected or no expense Will be
incurred, the motive of It's authors might
