who are suffering from weakness or

DR.. Greene's enormous practice. his
long experience. and his thoughtful in

good to thousands. and il is highly
lreditable TO his humanity that he has
made his knowledge free gift to the

| Dr. Greene has found that most of
the ills from which men. women and
children suffer are due To nerve weak

disturbance OF some organ or organs of
the body These conditions do not come

| ignorance of the laws OF health. neglect

words. they wear out to keep them

| There is constant hurry In modern
life. We work rapidly we eat rapidly.
and even our pleasures are taken
rapidly. There is the constant struggle
| for wealth. the struggle for
social distinction and the struggle
for mere bread.
| Many, too. are born With a lack of
moral restraint or with the love OF

errors and indiscretions. who consider
only the present and are regardless of
the future. But this high pressure.

kept up. When nature is pushed be-

warnings have been in the form of

Greene painted the bright with as
strong a touch as he had drawn the
dark Nerve weakness, diSordered or

gagged the attention of Dr. Greene for
many years. He has in effect made
these calamitous conditions the study
of his life. Investigating their causes
and studying their effects. he set him
self to the task of finding the means of
restoring to health the body and mind
after so much had been done to destroy
both. He applied himself to the dis
covery of remedies which would build
up that which had been broken down
ana after years of unwearied research
and investigation, in discovering the
marvellous medicines which have made
his name famous throughout the coun-
try. which have effected so many Won
cerful cures. and which are admitted ,
to be the only positive. sure and effec-
tual remedies that medical research
has produced.
