No one knows these facts better than
women themselves, and the inside his
tory of feminine lives would reveal story
Of tired bodies, unstrung and excitable
nerves, wearied limbs, aching heads and
backs, with that exhausted, dragged out
feeling which makes their lives miserable.
The well-known Eta f. Haven, of New
Boston, Conn, writing upon this subject
says:
"Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is wonderful remedy for nervous
prostration, and those terrible tired, weak
feelings that make life a burden, almost
too great to bear. ] feel that l cannot say
enough in its praise for what it has done
for me. 1t gives one the most restful sleep,
and in fact does all and more than all 1t
claims to do. l wish every poor, tired
woman on the face OF the earth could be
induced to try 1t for three days; they would
then understand its value, and life would
not seem so wearisome and undesirable"
1t is fact that the great nerve invigorant
and female restorative is DIR. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. No remedy
in the world is so sure to bring back the
bloom and color to the wan and faded
cheeks, the brilliancy to the hollow and
haggsrd eyes, the lightness and elasticity
to the weak and weary step, the strength
and vitality to the unstrung, shattered and
worn out nerves. 1t is the greatest of all
uterine tonics and regulators, and perfectly
and completely cures all female weakness
and disease.
II our readers are troubled in this way
we should advise them by all means to use
| this remarkable remedy. We know 1t TO
be purely vegetable and harmless and 1t is
within everybody's reach, as all druggists
sell it for 81. 1t is the discovery and pre-
scription OF DR.. Greene of "a Temple Place,
| Boston, Mass, the eminent specialist In
| the treatment of nervous and chronic dis
eases, and the doctor can be consulted free
| personally or by letter, which Is guar
antee of the great value Of the remedy.

officer of the came rank, was taken by
his captor in railroad car TO prison.
While seated beside his captive, the
rebel, for long time, insulted him in a
most cowardly and contemplate man

duced no effect beyond contemptuous
silence, he went out and returned with
particularly black and ragged slave,

The county insane asylum, situated four
miles from Dover, N. H., was burned to
the ground last Thursday night and forty
four OF the unfortunate inmates were burned
