, malt extracts, so-called celery compounds or other nerve
stimulants, which only spur the already weakened nervous system on as a
man would urge his jaded horse to renewed efforts when the animal should
be refreshed by proper food and rest. Neither have we any faith, in
lasting good resulting from prescribing such nerve sedatives as put the
nerves to sleep and so, by simply blunting sensibility, delude the
patient into the false belief that he is being benefited.

To effect a radical cure of the weakness, the nerve centres must be
restored to a normal condition by improving the nutrition of the nerve
cells. To do this the causes of the difficulty must be understood and
any local weakness or disease of any organ, be it the liver, kidneys,
lungs, stomach, rectum, bladder, or generative organs, must be
understood, properly treated and overcome. The desire for alcoholic
stimulants is a most common and dangerous tendency of the disease. To
gratify the morbid appetite for stimulants is to do the patient lasting
injury.

IMPOVERISHED BLOOD.

In some cases the nervous affection is the result of an impure, or
impoverished, condition of the blood. In such cases the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has, in the great majority of cases,
resulted in an immediate benefit and gradually in a permanent
restoration of the nerve centres to a normal condition. This remedy,
particularly if assisted by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
when constipation is present, unloads the liver, and their combined
action tends to remove from the blood the poisons which it is the
function of the liver to take from that fluid. The cells of the brain,
after performing their function, throw into the blood certain poisonous
materials which it is the function of the liver to remove. If this is
not done, the cells become clogged, and can only be restored to a
natural and healthful condition by increasing the activity of the liver.
This treatment gives rise to an immediate improvement, and a continuance
of the remedies results in a gradual toning up of the nervous system and
relief from the unpleasant symptoms.

"FEMALE WEAKNESS."

Many women suffer from nervous prostration, or exhaustion, owing to
congestion of the uterus and ovaries, caused by over-indulgence; again
by overwork, the strain of too many household cares, or too frequent
childbirths. In these cases, the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is of the greatest ben
