Weak Men and Women Will Be Glad to Learn
This,

Tired bodies, pale and sunken cheeks,
haggard eyes, sleepless nights and weak
nerves, are running our lives and killing our
people. No wonder these poor sufferers
bless DIR. Greene for his great offer. He is
the most successful specialist in curing ner-
vous and chronic diseases and the discoverer
of that wonderful medicine, DIR. Greene's,
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. He has
established a system of letter correspondence
at his Office, "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass,
by which all can write him about their COM
plants, and by mentioning the symptoms
they suffer from and telling him how they
feel, they will receive answer from him,
free of charge, giving complete description
of their case and telling Just what ails them.
He gives most careful attention to every let
| ter, tells inst what TO do to be cured perfectly
and permanently, and makes all understand
exactly what their complaint is. And all this
costs nothing. No journey to the city, no
doctor fee, the best medical advice and con-
sultation in the world and nothing to pay.
The doctor makes a specially of treating
patients through letter correspondence, and
it is wonderfully successful. Write him at
once, reader, and you will almost certainly
be made strong and we'll.

advertisers:
A SURE CURE.
''Busness is poor, very poor"
The stingy merchant cries.
And so it is, so it will be,
If he ne'er will advertise.
Cuisines is good, very good,
And continually on the RISE
Says the merchant who has some sense
And knows how to advertise.
+. G. Voorhees,.
One certain way to win woman's pat
ronage is through bargains. Have lots of
them but be sure they are "simon-pure"
bargains. If they are not you will do
yourself infinitely more harm than good. A
woman is quick to scent a bargain and just
as quick to resent an imposition. A single
nntruthful statement in the papers is just as
many lies as the papers have readers.
The advertiser is happy and well may he
be, for the tide has turned. Things are
surely coming his way. Everything indi-
Gates better times and the judicious adver-
tiser will win golden harvest.
Advertising to be successful must be per-
sistent; occasional splashes of printers ink
on the pages of newspaper, no matter
how good medium it may be, are soon
forgotten. 1t is the continued intruding of
your name and business under the eyes and
nose of your fellow men and women that
drives them through sheer curiosity to seek
you out, that they may test the truth of
your statements and that's where the bust
ness of the advertisement ends, and the
business of the advertiser begins He
must clinch his every printed promise, or
they should never have been made; to do
otherwise is to undo the possible good re-
suits of work well done.
An advertisement ought to have an at
mosphere Of vitality, of life, about it. 1t
should be so constructed that it dissipates
a sluggish state of mind on the readers
part and makes him read and think. This
result is largely secured by dispensing with
qualifying words (adjectives and adverbs) !,
and making the sentences as short and
abrupt as possible.-Printer's Ink.
