A STRANGE THING,
This is Apparently an Absurd
Conundrum.
But is it, After all, So Very Absurd
Upon Consideration
There May Be Two Sides Even TO Fool
Question.

At recent meeting Of medical experts,
tho apparently absurd question was pro
pounded:
Which has the better chance of life, "A
sick or well person.
AT first it looked ridiculous, but after
earnest discussion it was unanimously
decided that an ordinary sick man had
better chance to give 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 be
easily and readily cured
In that lies thu reason
The ninety nine who are slightly sick,
who have some weakness or are out of
order, know of their weakness and dc
bility and have the sense to take care Of
themselves and seek an immediate cure.
or one hundred well persons the
majority are careless, depending too much
upon their good health, until by exposure,
oserwork or dissipation, some weakness
or disease Is developed which may carry
them Off quickly.
so it is that he ninety nine careful sick
people have better chance OF living than
the one hundred careless we'll persons
The first thing sick person decides is
to get well. Naturally. also, such a per
son desires the best and quickest means
II cure and common sense dictates the
ase of snch valuable and reputable
medicine as DR., Greene's Nervlira blood
and nerve remedy. Every sufferer knows
