[ Especial Dispatch from Boston. ]


An immense audience of men greeted
that most successful of physicians, DR..
Greene of "a 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, 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 consti-
tute the very groundwork of life's
knowledge, the underlying principle of
the scheme OF existence itself, and con-
corning which, men are often grossly
ignorant, generally thoughtess and al
ways careless, until crisis arises in
their lives-the loss of that vitality
which distinguishes the weak from the
strong, brings home to each the indi-
vidual knowledge that only strength is
power and that weakness means de-
spair.
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 &C
companies strength and vigor, and also
depict the abject misery and despair
spair which follows weakness and de-
bility.
No man has right to trfe with his
health. The glory of man is hi.
strength, and strength of character,
strength of mind, strength of body, are
dependent upon the maintenance of
sound physical health, health Of each
and every organ, function and attri-
butte of the human system; and true
and complete happiness comes only to
him who maintain the soundness of his
nerves and physical strength, or restores
and regains such strength, if by any
means it is lost or impaired.
Ignorance of consequences, indiscre-
ton and thoughtlessness are the great
causes of physical decay, vital weakness
and nervous debility among men. This
condition 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 and body and tinge life
and existence itself with the dark gloom
of despair, is the most common of dis.
eases among men, not only among the
young, but in middle life and mature
years, and it's cure is the great problem
which faces mankind at the present
day.
Sufferers from nervous debility and
exhausted vitality have weak languid
and tired feeling, with gradual failing
of strength. Where formerly they had
feelings of strong and vigorous physical
and nerve power, they now have only a
'ense of weakness, languor, dizziness
ind exhaustion. There is lack of am
lition, with little inclination for physi-
cal 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
vigor, often leaves them in the morning
more tired and exhausted than on re-
firing.
After a time their nerve and mental
strength will be impaired, aud 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 SUBJ
ject. With this there is an extremely
nervous and irritable condition, or dull,
cloudy sensation, often accompanied
by disagreeable feelings in the head
and eyes. Lack OF inclination for COM
pany and desire to be alone mark this
stage of the disease.
AS these symptoms increase there is
usually arrangement of the digestive
organs. There is often bad taste in
the mouth in the morning. There will
be at times a pain in the back, the
vision becomes dim, the memory is i'm
paired and there is frequent dizziness.
Persons thus afflicted are often des-
pendent and suffer from gloom and
depression of the mind. The nerves
become 30 weakened after time that
the least excitement or shock will flush
the face or bring on tremor often at
tended by more or less palpitation of
the heart.
DR.. Green expresses no blame for The
victims OF this insidious disease, for he
realizes that this sad condition results
from tbOuphtless Ignorance of tho CON
