ErHow much confidence should the pubic
place in advertisements OF medicines:
Every human being is interested III TINS
great question because it deeply concerns
us all. In these times of hard work ana
over-exertion when almost everybody
needs medicine of some kind, it is abso-
lutely necessary that people know what 10
do for their tired nerves, weak bodies ana
diseased organs.
Our daily papers are constantly adver-
Using medicines, and giving testimonials
of persons who have been cured by thclr
use The questions arise, are these testl-
monials genuine: Are they exact ard
truthful statements made by people who
have really been cured by the medicine
advertised: There is not the slightest doubt
that the ma joritv of advertised medicines
are just what they are represented to be,
and that the testimonials are perfectly
reliable being accurate statements of per
sons cured. From our experience, such
testimonials are true and state only what
are facts. We know positively that all
the vast numbers of testimonials Of cure
published in regard to Dr. Greene's Ner-
vtra blood and nerve remedy are true,
strictly and accurately true, and that PEG
pie can and should be guided by them, for
these true testimonials prove that the
cures were made by this wonderful medi-
cine and that this remedy will cure others
who take it.
Newspaper men themselves are often
cured, and often give testimonials, and
no newspaper man would allow unreliable
or false testimonials to be published in his
paper. Thomas A. Lindsay is one of the
most popular newspaper men i'll the coun-
try, and is connected with Albany's (N.'
W leading morning paper, The Morning
Express. He makes the following inter
esting statement:
For many years have been subject to
severe spells of headache and nervousness,
at times almost enough to drive a man to
insanity from pain, loss of sleep, etc r---
-" Medicines narcotics, patent and pre-
Scribed did not give relief, and the all
mcnt increased continually. Having read
in the Albany Morning Express, at differ
ent. times, the advertisements of DIR.
Grpcnc's NCrvura blood and nerve remedy.
I concluded to try this remedy, and after
the use of six or seven bottles, found not
only relief but a radical cure.
THE headaches are a thing Of the past,
while the terrible nervous spells have
gradually become less and less, until now
I have little or none Of them left and my
sleep is natural and refreshing.
- do not hesitate in saying that this
remarkable change is entirely due to DR..
Greeres Nervura blood and NJ rvs remedy,
and h artly recommend it for ailments
ike my own, no matter what the cause
Of them. =
