| An immense audience of men crested
that most successful of physicians, DR..
| Greene of 81 Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, in Music Hall, Boston, and lis
tened with rapt and absorbed attention
to one of the most powerful lectures ever
delivered to men, a lecture filled with
| profound knowledge of the science Of life,
replete with grand truths, and teeming
with vivid portrayal Of those mighty
facts, necessarily of private nature but
nevertheless which constitute the very
groundwork of life's knowledge, the
underlying principle of the scheme of
existence itself and concerning which
men are often grossly ignorant, generally
thoughtless and always careless, until a
crisis arises in their lives-the loss of that
vitality which distinguishes the weak
from the strong, brings home to each the
individual knowledge that only strength
is power and that weakness means des-
pair.
| At DR.. Greene's stirring lecture these
facts were brought out as only this skilled
physician. thoroughly conversant with
every phase of the subject, can portray the
happiness which always accompanies
strength and vigor, and also depot the alb
ject misery and despair which follows
weakness and debility.
No man has a right to trife with his
health. The glory of man is his strength,
and strength of character, strength of
mind, strength of body, are dependent
upon the maintenance OF sound; physical
1 Of oab and
function and attribute of the human sys-
TEN; and true and complete happiness
comes only to him who maintains the
| soundness of his nerve and physical
strength, or restores and regains such
strength if by any means it is lost or i'm
| paired.
Ignorance of consequences, indiscretion
and thoughtlessness are the great causes
Of physical decay, vital weakness and ner-
yous debility among men. This condi-
! ton OF nerve weakness, exhausted powers
and drains upon the system which slowly
but surely, if allowed to continue, sap
the very vitality, wreck nerve, brain aud
body and ting life and existence itself
with the dark gloom of despair, is the
mos 4 common of diseases among men, not
only among the young, but in middle life
| and mature years, and it's cureIs the
great problem which faces mankind at
| the present day.
| sufferers from LeEpUuS U6Ulllty hlu 6X-
hausted vitality have a weak, languid
and tired feeling, with gr sdual failing of
strength. Where formerly they had ieel-
ings OF strong and vigorous physical and
nerve power, they now have only sense
of weakness, languor, dizziness and ex-
haustion. There is a lack of ambition,
with little inclination for physical or
mental exertion. This is often especially
noticeable in the morning, when every
movement seems an effort. The nights
sleep which should refresh the system
and restore strength and yigor, often
leaves them in the morning more tired
and exhausted than on retiring.
| After q time their nerve and mental
strength will be impaired, and their en-
durance and power to work, read or
study. diminished. Where formerly they
could endure many consecutive hours of
close application OF the mind, they now
| find that the thoughts wander, and there
| is inability to fix the mind for any length
OF time upon one subject. With this there
| is an extremely nervous and irritable con-
dition, or dull, cloudy sensation, often
accompanied by disagreeable feelings in
the head and eyes. Lack of inclination
for company and desire TO be alone mark
this stage of the disease.
AS these symptoms increase there is
usually arrangement of the digestive or
gans There is often a bad taste in the
mouth in the morning. There will DO at
times pain in the lack, the vision be-
| comes dim, the memory is impaired and
| there is frequent dizziness Persons thus
afflicted are often despondent and suffer
from gloom and depression of the mind.
The nerves become so weakened after a
time that the least excitement or shock
will flush the face or bring on o tremor
or trembling often attended by more or
less palpitation OF the heart.
DR.. Greene expresses no blame fer the
