teries receive within the cold shadows of the
grave thousands and thousands of victims that annually die from the results
of "broken hearts." It is no doubt a fact that love troubles cause more
disorders of the heart than everything else combined.

3. DISRUPTED LOVE.--It has long been known that dogs, birds, and even
horses, when separated from their companions or friends, have pined away
and died; so it is not strange that man with his higher intuitive ideas of
affection should suffer from love when suddenly disrupted.

4. CRUCIFYING LOVE.--Painful love feelings strike right to the heart, and
the breaking up of love that cannot be consummated in marriage is sometimes
allowed to crucify the affections. There is no doubt that the suffering
from disappointed love is often deeper and more intense than meeting death
itself.

5. HEALING.--The paralyzing and agonizing consequences of ruptured love can
only be remedied by diversion and society. Bring the mind into a state of
patriotic independence with a full determination to blot out the past.
Those who cannot bring into subordination the pangs of disappointment in
love are not strong characters, and invariably will suffer disappointments
in almost every department of life. Disappointment in love means rising
above it, and conquering it, or demoralization, mental, physical and
sexual.

6. LOVE RUNS MAD.--Love comes unbidden. A blind ungovernable impulse seems
to hold sway in the passions of the affections. Love is blind and seems to
completely subdue and conquer. It often comes like a clap of thunder from a
clear sky, and when it falls it falls flat, leaving only the ruins of a
tornado behind.

7. BAD, DISMAL, AND BLUE FEELINGS.--Despondency breathes disease, and those
who yield to it can neither work, eat nor sleep; they only suffer. The
spell-bound, fascinated, magnetized affections seem to deaden self-control
and no {160} doubt many suffering from love-sickness are totally helpless;
they are beside themselves, irritational and wild. Men and women of genius,
influence and education, all seem to suffer alike, but they do not yield
alike to the subduing influence; some pine away and die; others rise above
it, and are the stronger and better for having been afflicted.

8. RISE ABOVE IT.--Cheer up! If you cannot think pleasurably over your
misfortune, forget it. You must do this or perish. Your power and influence
is too much to blight by foolish and melancholicy pining. Y
