ALERTNESS IN BUSINESS.

The successful business man of to-
day must needs be alert, or he will not
win; all faculties must be strained to
the utmost, and, while the excitement
OF business life whets the appetite for
it, in the end nature demands her pay
for being constantly outraged. The bus
mess man, after being frequently
warned, finds himself unable to con-
centrate his reasoning power, and his
nerves give way. One of the greatest
enemies that business men contend
with is sleeplessness, the thought of
possible trouble tomorrow drives
away sleep tonight, and loss of sleep
is destruction.
The greatest physician and specialist
in all nervous and chronic complaints
to-day is DR.. Greene, of So West 14th
Street, New York City. He is great by
reason of his discoveries, one of
which is the world-famed Nervura, and
by his unvarying success in treating
the nervous ills of men and women.
The beauty and simplicity Of operation
of Dr. Greene's remedies are most
strongly evidenced in, their soothing
effect upon the nerves. permitting the
patient to sleep. Wholesome sleep
drives out nervousness, and Dr.
Greene's treatment is thorough, and
its effects are permanent. You may
consult this distinguished specialist
and receive his invaluable advice with
out cost by calling at his office or writ
ing to him full explanation Of your
case. Consultation either by personal
call or letter through the mail is alb
solutely free. Don't wait until you are
entirely used up, but consult DR..
Greene now.
