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, fol
his brilliant Boston Music Hall lectures.
The weak and ailing because he has
pointed out to them the means of recov-
ering their health, strength and vigor
those in health because he has shown the
rocks and quicksands where many a gal
liant life bark has been wrecked.
DR.. Greene was listened to with almost
GREATNESS 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 discov-
cries in the domain of remedies. and fam
ed for his marvellous cures. In fact, there
is no physician in active practice today
so we'll 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 premature
decay the study of his life, as those who
listened to him could easily discern.
DIR. Greene graphically described the
processes by which those in possession of
health and vigor reach a condition of de-
bility and nervous proStration, the sue
cessive steps and stages of decay. Moth
ing can be more inSidiouS than the APP
proach of this foe of human happiness,
the premature decay Of the physical pow
ers. 1t is the more insidiouS from the
fact that it does not always manifest it
self in physical forms, but often in mental
deterioration beginning with melhncholia
and hvpochondraisis. There is q loss of
spirits. the subject is ov~ersSadowed 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 findign its first manifestation ia
mental disturbances.
As the malady makes progress the
physical disorders show themselves. The
body becomes weak. There is a con-
seriousness 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 frequently introduces
itself at this stage and with it come at
tackS of dizziness accompanied Dy drowS-
mess and an indisposition to exertion. In
time stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
become functionally disordered. The sub
ject sighs often, there is a difficulty of
breathing at times, pain in the right or

the chest and abdomen.
The nervousness increases with every
stage of progress, and the most fearful
imaginings are the result. They produce
wakefulnesS at night, or when sleep
comes dreams and visions ensue. Com
plete LIBERALIZATION follows, and though
the victim may bare up bravely and use
every effort to conceal from his friends
the fact that he is paying the penalty for
his errors and indiscretionS, it is all too
apparent to them that there is something
wrong with him. The complexion has
lost its healthful tint, the color has gone
from the cheeks, the skin has become of
a dull leaden hue or taken on a sickly yell
lowish tinge that is unpleasant to look
upon; the eye has become dull and life
less, its brightness and sparkle gone, the
step has lost its springy elasticity and
become feeble and tagging, the face has
lost it's vivacity and much of its express
ion, 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 sus-
tanned.
Nature is compelling the victim to hon.
or 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 nowihe would give all he
is worth for the privilege of beginning
all over again. Repentance 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 ChAffPrpd nPrVQC a constitution do
vitalized, 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
obligation adds to his misery, and in
creases his misfortune a t~housandfold.
But all is not lost. There is still hope,
still a road to recover 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 anyone to
despair. DR.. Greene has made this con-
dition of weakness, of mental and phys
ical debility the study of his life. Pos
Sessed of a brilliant and penetrative
mind, an ind~efatigability in research and
investigation, he has succeeded in diScOv-
ering the true remedies for the restora-
ton of the weak and suffering. After
years or unWearled investigation and eX-
pertinent he discovered the only effica-
cious medicines that has ever been applied
successfully to the cure of this weaken
ing and e%xhausting disease. These Won
derful medicines are purely vegetable in
their ingredients and have been SO care
fully brought together and so skillfully
combined that the remedies Civ a result
which never fails to cure the weak and
discouraged sufferer, aud make him again
a strong, vitalized and vigorous man.
DIR. Greene is admitted to be the most
eminent, distinguished and successful
specialist in curing these complaints.
His, marvellous cures are universally
known and are the theme of comment in
