THE HOUR GLASS.
Time Honored Reverence in
Which it is Held.
Something Of its Mysterious Origin
and Associations.
Lessons Which may be Drawn from it
lnfalIibiity.

Old Father Time displays the hour glass
as an emblem of the speedy flight of
wears. 1t teaches none the less the brevity
of human life. How quickly its atoms
fall; how rapidly the period of our mortal
existence hastens to its close. Brain
throb and heart beat are but ticks which
count the minutes as they 60
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 on their mis-

monitor, the hour glass of their physical

never reflects how much vital energy they
constantly use up. Each and all keep
delving, toiling, buying, selling, strug
gling,-and the sands in the glass keep
falling.
At length there is an end The limit
is reached the sands are exhausted
- time is up;"-a mournful procession
and a new made grave.
I 1t is the old, old story. They did not
heed the lesson human experience has
been teaching these many centuries.
Watch the hour-glass of your health ;
heed its falling sands and count them as
they go. Be wise in season; grid up that
weakened spot; strengthen that tired
nerve; put new vigor into weary brain,
heart and muscle. How can it be done:
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
fitted to stay the hand of the destroyer.

well. 1t cured Mr.. Louis H. Moreau, who
was formerly faithful member of the

recinnnd bic IN bc
stable business. He has taken five or six
bottles of DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy for nervousness and weak
ness and found 1t invigorating and reju-
venating. He says that the effects were
of much benefit to him when he was on
the police force, and he believes they
would have been more prompt for good,
had he taken the medicine regularly in
stead of internationally. Nj Moreau's
health is now good but he says that in
case of a return of nervousness or weak
ness he shall recommcncc taking the
Nervura. His place of business is at 81
