A Strange THING.
This is Apparently an Absurd COnun-
drum.
But is It. After All, So Very Absurd
Upon Observation-Disclosures May
Be Two Sides Even to a Fool
Question.

At 4 recent meeting of medical experts,
the apparently absurd question was pro-
pounded:
Which has the better chance Of life,
sick or a well person?
At first it looked ridiculous, but after
earnest discussion it was unanimously de-
cided that an ordinary sick man had
better chance 10 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 over-work, dissipation or other
cause. For every dangerously sick person
there are ninety-ntne whose cases can be
easily and readily cured.
In that lies the reason.
The ntnety-nine who are slightly sick,
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
fty are careless. depending too much upon
their good health. until by exposure. over
work or dissipation, some weakness or dis
ease is developed which may carry them
off quickly.
So it is that the ninety-nine careful sick
people have a better chance Of living than
the one hundred careless well persons.
The first thing q sick person decides IS
to get well. Naturally. also. such a per-
son desires the best and quickest means Of
cure and common sense dictates the use Of
such a valuable and reputable medicine as
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. Every sufferer knows from the
experience of thousands upon thousands OF
Others. whose testimonials Of cure are con-
tinually appearing in every paper, that
this well known and proven restorative IS
the surest and most positive cure-that
the very name OF DR.. Greeue'S NerVurd
blood and nerve remedy Is a synonym LOT
power VlgOr and strength, and that us
use will certainly make the sick well ana
give to the weak, nervous and debilitated
all their old time health, energy, spirits
and ambition.
Mrs. A. p. Prescott, of saltwater, N.
my husband has been very sick and was
confined to els bed for five months, and all
that time / took care of him night ana
day, and gave him all his medicine. Dur
ing his long sickness, l became almost
worn out and fell into state of nervous
ness. l got so that | could not sleep, ana
when l lay down my limbs would witch
and had an awful pain in the back OF my
head so that I was obliged to get up in the
night and put mustard poultices on the
spot 10 relieve ii.
az think If l had not found relief should
have been insane. But l did get relief in
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. l saw IL advertised and heard of
It through my friends, and I got three bot
ties and was completely relieved, so that
l slept we'll and ate well.
81 certainly think I never should have
kept up If II had not been for DR.. Greene's
Nervura, and I can truly say It Is a Won
derfully good medicine and recommend Il
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 remedy"
