A STRANGE THING.
THIS IS APPARENTLY AN ABSURD
 CONUNDRUIT

But Is It, After All, So Very Absurd Upon
 Consideration - There May Be Two
 Sides Even to Fool Question.
 At a recent meeting of medical experts
 the apparently absurd question was pro-
 pounded:
 Which has the better chance of life, a
 sick or well person?
 At first it looked ridiculous,a but after
 earnest discussion it was unanimously
 decided that an ordinary sick man had
 better chance to live than we'll man. Why?
 Few people are dangerously sick; the
 majority of sick people are those who are slightly out of health, run down, out of order, exhausted in nerve and
 physical power from overwork, dissipa- patton or other cause. For every dan
 gerously sick person there are ninety
 nine whose cases can be easily and readily cured.
 In that lies the reason. The ninety-nine who are slightly sick, who have some weakness or are out of order, know of their weakness and de- bility and have the sense to take care
 of themselves and seek an immediate cure.
 Of one hundred well persons, the ma jority are careless, depending too much
 upon their good health, until by expos ure, oyerwork or dissipation, some weak
 ness or disease is developed which may carry them off quickly. So it is that the ninety-nine careful sick people have a better chance of liv- ing than the one hundred careless well persons.
 The first thing a sick person decides is to get well. Naturally, also, such person desires the best and quickest means of cure, and common sense die tates the use of such a valuable and reputable medicine as Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy. Every sufferer knows. from the experience of | thousands upon thousands of others, whose testimonials Of cures are 7contin- ually appearing in every paper, that l this we'll known and proven restorative | is the surest and most positive cure l that the very name of Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy is syno- nym for power, vigor and strength, and | that it's use will certainly make the l sick well and give to the weak, nervous i and debilitated all their old time health, | energy, spirits and ambition. Mrs. A. F. Prescott of Swiftwater, l N. H., says:
 My husband has been very sick and was confined to his bed for five months, and all that time took care of him night and day and gave him all his medicine. During his long sickness I became almost worn out and fell into state of nervousness. I got so that I
 could not sleep, and when I lay down my limbs would twitch and had an awful pain in the back of my head so that was obliged to get up in the night and put mustard poulticed on the spot to relieve it.
 T think if had not found relief I should have been insane. But did get relief in Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I saw 1t advertised and heard of it through my friends, and I got three bottles and was completely | relieved, so that slept we'll and ate | well. sSt
 T certainly think never should have kept up If it had not been for Dr. l Greenes Nervura, and can truly say 1 it is a. wonderfully good medicine and | recommend it to all. I attribute my
 present good health and my being able | to go through what I have to Dr. | Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem edy."

 successful specialist in curing nervous
