when a little timely advice would make
life's pathway full of cbeer and happi

inal weakness manifest themselves the
sufferer is noticed to become dull and
morose md is troubled with indiges

cfl'ccts may be mentioned weakness of
the memory, confusion of ideas, nervous
despondency and general weakness. It
