A STRANGE THING.
This is Apparently an Absurd
C0nundrum.
But Is II, After All, So Very Absurd
Upon Consideration.
There May Be Two Sides Even to a 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 a well p~ersonf
At first it looked ridiculous, but after
earnest discussion 1t was unanimously de-
cided that an ordinary sick man had a
better chance to live than the well 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, dissipation or
other cause. For every dangerously sick
person there are ninety-nine whose cases
can he easily cured. In that lies the rea-
son.
who have some weakness or are out OF
order, know of their weakness and debil-
ity and have the sense to take care OF
themselves and seek an immediate cure.
OF one hundred well persons, the major
ity are careless, depending too much upon
their good health, until by exposure,
overwork or dissipation, some
or disease Is developed which may carry
them of quickly.
SO ii is that the niney-nine careful sick
people have n better chance OF living than
the N hundred careless well persons.
The first thing a sick person decides Is to
get well. Naturally, also, such a person
desires the best and quickest means OF
cure and common sense dictates the use
of a valuable and reputable medicine as
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. Every ~spfferer knows from the
experience OF thousands upon thousands
of others, whose testimonials OF cure are
continually appearing i'm every paper, that
this w~ell-known and proven restorative

blood and nerve remedy is a synonym

oiIitated all their old time health, energy,

Mrs. A. p. Prescott of saltwater, N.
H., says "My husband has been very
sick and was confined to his bed for five
months and all that time l took care Of
him night and day, and gave him all his
medicine. During his long sickness, /
became almost worn out and fell into a
state of nervousness. i got so that i could
not sleep, and when l lay down my limbs
would twitch and | had an awful pain in
the back of my head so that l was obliged
TO get up I'm the night and put mustard
poultices on the spot to relieve IL.
81 think IL i had not found relief l
should have been insane. Blu / did get
relief in DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. l saw 1t advertised and
heard of ii through my friends, and
got three bottles and was completely re-
lieved, so that ] slept well and ate well.
81 certainly think l never should have
kept up il 1t had not been for DIR.

wonderfully good medicine and recon-
mend it to all. / attribute my present
good health and my being able to go
through what / have, to DIR. Greene's
