Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedv for

asm. Lack of sleep kills II racks brain and

vous energies. Ii transforms strong person

The writer well knows the wonderful power
OF DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy TO produce the most restful, invigorat-
ing and refreshing sleep, besides making our
nerves strong and steady as steel. 1t does not
act like an opate, but rather by its strength
ening and invigoratiug effects upon brain
and nerves. IL is perfectly harmless also,
being made from pure health giving vegeta-
bic medicine. Ii is safe TO give To infants and
children Of any age. All druggists keep IL
for Sl.O, and il Is indeed "a God-send TO
sufferers from weak nerves and insomnia.

cines, but the discovery and prescription of
