"Brooks make rivers, rivers run 10
seas sings the poet Dryden in his wor-
shin of Aesculapius, the first known ply
siciar. The poet little thought as he
Denned his verse In praise of the ancient
practitioner, how aptly his beautiful line
would apply to the life of woman. The
chattering brook as it flows to merge
itself in the larger stream represents the
careless, unthinking young girl. The
wild and turbulent stream, sometimes
flowing smoothly, then dashing over
at last becoming mighty river, bearing
ships upon its bosom, is the woman with
her broadening and deepening posi-
bilities.
But how many girls
standing with reluctant feet
Where the brook ana river meet
Womanhood and childhood fleet"
are at this time Of their lives the objects
of great solicitude to their parents. The
young girl is sad, does not like company,
has palpitation of the heart after slight
exertion, dyspepsia, constipation, pains In
the head and limbs and along the spine,
and her face is rale with greenish tingr.
She is tie victim of green sickness. This
is a case in which the nervous system is
impaired and the blood is impoverished.
A good tonic Is needed to bring her back
to health and strength, and parents should
be c,reful to choose the best remedy.
Here is what Mrs. Homer Lard of 2l5
Allen St, Springfield, Mass selected for
her II year old daughter Mary, with an
account of its marvellous results.
Mrs. Lard says: About two yeats ago
my daughter became SO nervous that l
had to take her out of school. Her con-
dition caused grave apprehension. She
lost in flesh; WAS possessed with nervous
thirst and clutched everything on which
she laid her hands, with the grip of per-
son in the thioes of death. Worse than
all, she was not only unable to sleep her
self, but her restlessness would keep the
other membfrs of our family awake She
grew worse rapidly and We finally went
to phi, sician, but the remedies he pre-
sccibed did her no good; on the contrary,
Mary thought they made her worse.
The old saying of drowning man
clutching at straw came to our minds,
and rememb ering that had read of some
wonderfl al cures made by DR.. Greene S
Ncrvura blood and nerve remedy, l de-
cided to try it. l must say that the effect
was magical and results were apparent
after the first bottle had been partly used.
My daughter slept that night for the first
time in months, and you can believe that
to US 1t was like Il ray Of sunshine from a
cloudy sky. Her condition improved
steadily and she was able to resume her
studies. ..,a
"Piano practice formerly had pecu-
liarly bad effect upon her, but she now
practices regularly without becoming ner-
v0us. Two years ago we feared that Mary
had reached her growth, but since taking
Dr. Greenc's Nervura her nervousness has
been so greatly dspelled that she has
crown considerably and regaincd the flesh
she had lost.
1t is wonderful what benefit this young
girl derived in so short time from Dr.
Grcene's Nervura, the great blood and
nerve remedy If you have a daughter
who Is suffering in such manner, can
you doubt that this grand medicine is
just what she needs? You can make nc
mistake in giving her this great blood
aud nerve remedy, for it is the discovery
of a noted and experienced physician,
DR.. Greene, of "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass. He not only positively promises
a good effect from the medicine, but
allows all who wish to consult him free
of charge, either personally or by letter,
so that in using his remedy you max,
him your ply sician and receive the
benefit of his great skill
