Old Father Time displays the hour
glass as an emblem of the speedy fight
OF years. 1t teaches none the less the
brevlty OF human life. How quickly its
atoms fall; how rapidly the period of our
motal existence hastens to it's close.
Brain throb and heart beat are but ticks
which count the minutes as they CO.
The pages Of the daily press are filled
With announcements of deaths, sudden
and inexplicable; deaths of men cut
down in their prime, of men we thought
perfect pictures Of health as we passed
them on the street. Hurrying past oil

die? Why Were these men taken and 9TH

been teaching these many centuries.
Watch the hour-glass Of your health !;

BY taking the remedy nature has pro-
vided, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. 1t is surely king among
blood and nerve remedies. 1t is best fit
ted to stay the hand of the destroyer. 1t
does not hesitate but acts at once. 1t
gives you health, Keeps you strong and
we'll. 1t cured Mr.. Louis H. Moreau,
who was formerly faithful member OF
the police force of Fall River, Mass, but
who resigned his position to enter the
livery stable business. He has taken five
or six BOTTLES Of DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy for nervousness
and weakness and found it invigoratng
and rejuvenating. He says that the
effects were of much benefit to him when
he was on the police force, and he be-
lieves they would have been more pormpt
for good, had he taken the medicine reg
ularly instead of Internationally. Mr.
Moreau's health is now good but he says
| that in case of a return OF nervousness or
weakness he shall recommence taking
the Nervura. His place of business is
at 81 and SO Flint Street, Fall River.

gia, indeed for any of the manifest evils
which result from weakness and impure
