DANGER SIGNALS
Hidden Weakness and Disease Causes
Most OF the Unhapptness, rlisery
and Failure In Life. t.. ~.

Thousands of PERSONS in this, locality
and indeed throughout the entire coun-
try are miserable and unhappy, unfit
who do not know the; cause of their
trouble. They are conscious perhaps
that something is wrong, that life has
lost it's brightness ID cheer, that work
does not give pleasing returns, that
friends seem changed and the affairs of
life are not as they she u|d be-: The
fact is that these are danger signals,
signs of weakness and disease, the
powers of life are wasting, and these
are natures expression of reduced vigOr
and vitality. Many pe rsons are afflict-
ed with weakness and disease which do
not confne them to bed or Immediately
prevent them from attending to their
ordinary work or business, who in fact
)are in need of medical treatment as
much as if confined to bed with typhoid
fever or pneumonia &.>.
It is mistaken idea that person
wi nervous. vital weakness necessarily
becomes emacialed, haggard or lose
their physical strength. You may look
we'll, be able to do your work drag
yourself through your weary tasks
from day to day. Some days feel quite
we'll, others you may be nervous, low
spirited, tired, dull, dizzy, gloomy, fret
full, irritable, fo> getful, easily annoyed,
have aches or pains in the back, chest
or limbs, b h'adaches, lack of vigor, self
confidence and energy, have sallow CON-
plexion, pimples or blotches, falling
hair, disturbed s!etp, bad dreams, un-
natural drains or discharges, avoid So
ciety or friends, life seems failure,
frequently cross and ill-natured, scold
and complain, sometimes wish you
might leave home and friends, have
shortness of breath, irregular beating
and palpitation ot tho heart. bloating
and rumbling Of III bowels, cOnstipa
tion, urine high 60 ored or cloudy ON
standing. If you nave any of these
symptoms of disease you should i'm
mediately seek he advice Of specia-
list in the treatm mt of these delicate
and hidden diseases. Often the symp-
toms do not attract the attention until
the weakness is far advanced.
For many years DR.. Downing, who
has visited the larger 2cities of the
country for the past fifteen years, has
given particular attention to the treat
ment of delicate hidden weakness and
diseases of nell and women. He has
cured over forty eight thousand cases,
many of whom had been pronounced
incuTable by other physicians and
specialists. Indeed most of the cases
which consult him have been treated
by other physicians without satisfactory
results. When sick persons consult
DR.. Downing he examines them care
fully and tells them honestly what he
thinks OF their condition, it incurable
