Doctors EntSiyssasiic Over Wew Discovery.

"Neurasthenia has been tho Central Africa of medicine—an unexplored territory into which few men enter:"- Thcso Words are eloquent testimony to the great mystery that surrounds, the most common of Human ailments. Wo are able, however, to chronicle' tho fact that at least one scientist has penetrated to the heart of that mystery, and has brought us .back a warning and— health. There can be nD more fascinating study than the study of that great mysterious force tho ordinary worker is content to call "the nervous system." Tho hidden force that guides our every action, that controls our hopes, that decides our ambitions and aspirations—it is this power that we desire chained down and shielded; then we "know" our battle is. over. AVlien it is remembered that the percentage of illness grouped under "nervous, weakness" or neurasthenia, is higher than any other class of ailment, it will bo realised how serious a matter is dealt with here, and this will lend an added greatness to Dr. Hartmann's brilliant discovery. The cure for neurasthenia, says Dr. Hnrtmann, is food—brain food. In these days of high-pressure living, with fierce social and commercial competition, thero is a strain put upon the nervous system which not one man in a hundred can healthily withstand. Tho effect of the strain is shown cither in extreme irritability, lack of concentration, irresponsible thought, and finally insanity. The story of the neurasthenic is, perhaps, best told in the following chart, which shows clearly the descent and how swiftly wo are taken to the end:— Fonsitiveneßs, Restlessness. I Irritability.. Melancholia. I Nervousness. I Pessimism. " Hysteria. Fcarfulnoßs." Inaptitude .Dizziness for steady v Work. Memory I Weak I Lack of Mental Weakness. I Will Power. I Clarity. Brain Fag. I Insomnia. Mental Derangement. Suicidal Tendency. Somewhere in that chart tho trouble of nine out ofevery ten men and women is placed. It is the neurasthenic chart, and once a person can recognise his symptoms thereon, ho should know that within him is tho worst of all diseases, a disease that unchecked can but lead to one end—total collapse. Dr. Hartmann's euro for the neurasthenic is brain-feeding. That this treatment, under Dr. Hartmann's method, is effective is proved by tho.splendid testimony voluntarily affirmed by medical men in the highest position; ■ This method of treatment,' that Dr. Hartmann has proved to be truly successful, may be thus detailed:— Food, when taken inlo the body, is used in various ways for general nourishment. Certain foods are used for fat production, others for tho manufacture of'bone; and, yet again, other parts of food are used up in tho production of brain tissue. Now, since all nervous affections arise in tho brain, and are caused by malnutrition— i.e., its starvation—the cure for neurasthenia lies in. tho question of supplying the nervo centre with proper food to allow due strengthening.

Now, in all foods—some more than others—there arc brain-forming materials. 'They are scientifically.known as Slylene or Lecithine. Under_natural conditions the best food contpiris but' 'a'.-trace of this wonderful 'substance, arid therefore, it'is- impossible, in' the.'ordinary':way."to absorb into tho'system' a. sufficient quantity to effect an appreciable.improvement in a neurasthenic case.

"It is, in-brief, a question of administering a sufficient supply of nerve-feeding elements to balance the , rapid waste of nervo tissue, caused. by tho unnautral strain of present-day life','by.a rapid repair." The result of Dr. Hartmann's brilliant experiments has been to prepare a .nerve food-in which the brain-forming element is sufficiently strong to at once have a beneficial effect. ■ To his new discovery Dr. Hartmann has given the title "Antinourasthin;"- and already' most remarkable cures, have been effected by. its administration.-;- -.'■ . Antinetirasthin' is a preparation which contains all - the .nerve-building materials, "Lccithine " in. a highly concentrated form; it is easily assimilated,'and' the benefits it confers aro lasting. It. has, therefore, nothing in common with medicines, drugs,, or other, stimulants—it is. tho natural nerve fend which nourishes tho nerve system independently pf the body. To everyone requiring a genuine- tonic— to the man whose nerves have become un6truiig through business worries, ! to tho woman who has become supersensitive or morbid—this simple remedy will prove an inestimable benefit. • ,' ■ The following testimony will certainly interest those who are nervous, patients. It comes from ! one of (lie most brilliant physicians in Europe—Dr. Guiseppe Lapponi, Physician-in-Ordinary to his Holiness tho Pope:— "Home, "Dear Sir,—l made trial in my private practice of Antinetirasthin, and shall pro-, scribe it henceforward, as it is an admirable agent for toning and strengthening the nervous system. 1 take the liberty of congratulating vou on your discovery. ' (Signed) "Dr. GUISEPPE LAPPONI, "Physician-in-Ordinary to his Holiness Pope Pins X." This is praise indeed, and the most satisfactory feature of Dr. Hartmann's success is "that the congratulation of his medical confreres is .overwhelmingly supported by the testimony of actual users of Antinetirasthin. . The fact cannot be too strongly impressed upon tho minds of readers that nervous disorder, no matter how slight, must not be neglected or played with. The small worry of to-day becomes the morbid melancholia or break-down of to-morrow. It is useless to endeavour to seek temporary, stimulation in chemical or so-called tonics, which can have but a serious aftereffect—a Loss of Nervous Force. Nervous breakdown must bo cured, and if, on once glancing at the chart given, you recognise your trouble, we advise yon to at ohco investigate the claims of Antineurasthin. On sending one shilling in postal note or stamps to the wholesale distributor, H. A. Goddard, Watson's Buildings, Auckland, a sample of Antineuraslhin, and in addition a copy of an interesting treatise on "Nervous Complaints," will bo forwarded.
