efit, tending to restore the uterus
and ovaries to a normal condition. Its wonderful restorative effects,
tonic and nerve invigorating properties, especially adapt it to the cure
of these cases. Digestion and assimilation of food are promoted by its
use. When the liver or blood is not in healthful condition, as
previously referred to, the "Golden Medical Discovery" should be used in
conjunction with the "Prescription." If menstruation be scanty, Dr.
Pierce's Pellets will have a beneficial influence in increasing the
flow, and overcoming the headache and congestion of internal organs that
is the result of scanty menstruation, especially if their use be
accompanied with full doses of Dr. Pierce's Compound Extract of
Smart-Weed.

LOCAL CAUSES.

In the great majority of cases, when nervous prostration has made its
appearance at intervals, with periods of prolonged good health
intervening, but in which, as a rule, slight excesses, over-exertion or
the attacks of some acute disease, produces a nervous exhaustion, we
have found that local derangement is the cause of the whole trouble.
This cause may often be readily removed and a perfect and permanent
restoration of the health will follow.

IN MEN, we have often found a varicocele to be the cause of nervous
prostration. In others rupture, or urethral stricture, sometimes of a
character so mild as hardly to give serious inconvenience, has been the
cause.

IN WOMEN,, ulceration of the uterus, stricture of the cervix, congestion
or other diseases of the ovaries, such as cysts, abscesses, etc.,
inflammation of the Fallopian tubes, characterized with more or less
periodical discomfort and attacks of leucorrhea, or "whites," are common
causes.

In all cases in which the nervous disease depends upon local causes, we
find that the relief of the local source of irritation, which tends to
reduce the general health and interfere with perfect nervous tone, is
all that is necessary to give the invalid a perfect restoration to
health, vigor and activity. It is like removing the burden from a tired
horse who has fallen prostrate under an excessive load. The removal of
the burden puts the individual under a favorable condition for the
immediate restoration to health and strength, and permanent relief is
only a matter of a few days' or weeks' time, with appropriate
nourishment and restorative nerve tonics.
