The Beautiful Child ola WelI.KnOWn
Lady-StarIIing and Alarming Con-
dItIon Suddenly Developed BeyOnd
All Hope and skin Of the Doctors.
The most beautiful and lOvable thing
on earth is lutte child; is it any Won
der that the heart aches hardest when
the little one, the brightest star in the
worlds ornaments, suffers in the grasp
of terrible disease. -. ......
All can therefore understand the bitter
and heartfelt grief of Mrs. III. ii. Watson
of 1853 Bloomingdale st, Worcester.
Mass, when her darling little four-year-
old child, child of most singular sweet
ness and beauty, was seized with severe
and serious nervous disease, and parents
alone can appreciate the depth of her
ioy and thankfulness when the little idol
of her heart was suddenly snatched back
from the grave, as it were, after doctors
and friends had given up all hope.
We will let the happy mother tell the
story.
''My little daughter, Ethel May, was
terribly and alarmingly sick. She had
twenty-six commissions in two years.
Her nerves were very weak, her appetite
very bad; she could not sleep nights, her
| limbs would draw up, and she suffered,
oh, SO much! She was as yellow as SAT
from, and weak and delicate.
'Our local doctors gave her up, saying
she could not be cured.
"But thanks, to the wonderful medi-
cine she is now perfectly well and
healthy. This remedy is DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and it
has completely cured nv little girl"

Another grateful mother Is Mrs.
Henry Fry, who resides at Flint Place,
South Roston, Mass. She too had a
daughter who suffered terribly from st.
Vitus Dance, an alarming nervous affec-
ton, but by the same marvellous remedy,
her child has also been restored to per-
feet health.
Here is what she says:
"My daughter, twelve years old, be-
came effected with st. Vitus Dance. l
at once placed her under the care of ply
sicians at the Boston Dispensary, where
she was treated for three months. She
grew worse until she entirely lost her
speech, and the right arm became useless
tried other remedies with benefit.
'Finally l began the use of DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and
before finishing one bottle she could
| talk. She has now used six bottles and
she talks as we'll as ever, has perfect use
of her arm, and is wonderfully improved
in all respects.
"The effects of this wonderful medi-
cine in her case has excited great interest
in many neighbors and friends who are
"navG;"t "d with the facts"

Nervura blood and nerve remedy posses.
ses,no mother who regards the welfare Of
her child will hesitate for an instant tc
give it this great medicine. A cure is
sure. The remedy can be got at the
druggists and is purely vegetable and
perfectly harmless to give to children Of
any age. 1t is the prescription and dis.
covery of DR.. Greene of "a Temple Place
Boston, Mass, the eminent specialist in
curing nervous and chronic diseases,
who can be consulted free in regard tc
any case, personally or by letter.

Pull the Right Lever.

Chief Miller desires it explained for
the benefit OF the people who call Il q
patrol wagon, that in sending an alarm
from the box they should be careful to
pull the proper lever. There has been q
tendency. he says. to pull the hook which
is to be used in supporting the telephone
trumpet yet to be put in, instead of US
ing the lever designed for the purpose.
A little care and not too much excitement
in sending in alarms and the new system
will work perfectly.
