many a gallant life bark has been

DIR. Greene was listened to with al
most 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
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. inprudence 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,a those who listened to him could
easily discern.
DIR. 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 happiness, the prema-
ture decay of the physical powers. 1t
Is the more iDsidious from the fact
that il does not always manifest itself
in physical forms, but often in mental
deterioration beginning with melan-
cholia ard hypochondriasis. There is
a loss of spirits, the subject is over
Swallowed by gloom, and there is an
ever present apprehension Of impend-
ing disaster. The intimate connec-
ton Of the body and mind is thus
shown, the decay of the physical pow
ers finding its first manifestation in
mental disturbances.
As the malady makes progress the
physical disorders show themselves.
The body becomes weak. There is a
consciousness of loss of vigor and vi
tality that causes the utmost alarm;
the heart becomes affected function

exertion. Dyspepsia is feature which
frequently introduces itself at this
stage and with it come attacks of diz-
illness accompanied by drowsiness and
indisposition TO exertion. In time
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels be-
come functionally disordered. The
subject signs often, there is difficult
ty of breathing at times, pain in the
right or left shoulder or both, aud
in the chest and abdomen.
The nervousness increases with
every stage of progress, and the most
fearful i'm lginings are the result. They
produce wakefulness at night,or when
sleep comes, dreams and visions ensue.
