A STRANGE THING.
This Is Apparently An Absurd
Conundrum.
BUT is 1T. AFTER ALL, so VERY
ABSURD UPON CONSIDERATION.
There May Be Two Sides Even to Fool
Question.

At recent meeting of medical experts
the apparently absurd question was pro-
pounded:
Which has the better chance of life, a
sick or we'll person?
AT first it looked ridiculous but after
earnest discussion it was unanimously
decided that an ordinary siok man had a
better chance to live than we'll man.
Why?
Few people are dangerously sick; the
majority of sick people who are slightly
out of health, run down, out of order, ex-
hausted in nerve and physical powersifrom
overwork, dissipation or other cause. For
every dangerously sick person there are
ninety nine whose cases can he easily
and readily cured.
In that lies the reason.
The ninety mine who are slightly sick
who have some weakness or are out of
order know of their weakness and debili-
ty and have the sense to take care of
themselves and seek an immediate cure.
OF one hundred we'll persons the ma
jority are careless, depending too much
upon their good health, until by exposure
over work or dissipation some weakness
or disease is developed which may carry
them off quickly.
So it is that the ninety mine careful
sick pepole have a better chance of living
than the one hundred well persons
The first thing sick person decides is
to get we'll. Naturally also such a per-
son desires the best and quickest means
of cure and common sense dictates the
use of such a valuable and reputable
medicine as DIR. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. Every sufferer knows
from the experience of thousands upon
thousands of others whose testimonials
of cure are continually appearing in every
paper that this we'll known and proven
restorative il the surest and most posi-
tive cure-that the very name of DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve reme-
dies IL a synonym for power, vigor and
strength and that its usa will certainly
make the sick we'll and give to the weak,
nervous and debilitated all their old time
health energy, spirits, and mbition.
