WEAK AND NERVOUS WOMEN.
How Strength Of Nerves and Health oil

Women are great sufferers from nervous-
ness, weakness, nervous prostration, and
exhaustion. They droop and languish I'M
der household cares and work which never
ends. They retire tired and wake tired
and unrefreshed; they are worn out n ex-
no strength or energy
Fortunately-and 1t would almost seem
h dispensation of divine Providence to
over-worked humanity-there are medi-
cines which restore lost nerve forces,
rebuild the weakened system and
~re-establish health, strength and
energy. These medicines, which
are purely vegetable, have been
combined into a wonderful remedy known
as DR.. Greene's Nervura Nerve Tonic,
which is kept by all druggists at 81 per
bottle. This truly wonderful remedy is
without doubt the greatest discovery Of
the century. and is the best strengthening
and in~vigorating remedy ever known.
For nervous and physical exhaustion,
weak, tired, and languid feelings with no
power or ambition for exertion, it is a SOW
ereign remedy and absolutely certain cure.
In cases of sleeplessness and nervous irri-
liability its use will be followed by calm re-
pose and natural, refreshing sleep. For
nervousness, nervous debility, exhausted
vitality, dependency, n depression of
the mind 1t is a perfect specific. For ma
laria, neuralgia, rheumatism, paralysis.
~numbness, trembling n insanity it is the
only positive and recognized remedy. 1t
