TEN YEARS YOUNGER.
A HappY Husbands Story.

"My wife," writes fond husband,
"looks ten years younger since she
began to take DR.. Greene's Nervura.
She was in terrible condition. She
began to be nervous several years ago.
/ did not notice it at first, but she
gradually grew worse. After little
abe could not sleep. She lost her ap-
petite. Then she became irritable and
morose, and from the sweetest and
best tempered woman in the world she
became shrewish and hysterical. FL
nally she began to fade away. You
know there 10 a difference between
women who grow old naturally and
women who fade out from the effects
of disease. l think l am as devoted
and patient as any husband, but
must confess that my wife's unfortu-
nate condition was a sore trial. l do
not know what would have become of
us if things had gone on as they were.
The change for the better came sud
denly. There was a complete trans
formation within a few days. Sound
sleep and a hearty appetite came as
nervousness and irritability went. l
did not know what the matter was
until she told me that she had been
impressed by the sincerity and COM
mon sense of DIR. Greene's advertise
ments, and had been taking his Nerv-
ura. From misery and dependency
she Is now the happiest person in the
world, with the possible exception of

Is the great health restorer. To suf-

blessing. How sad is the sight of
fading womanl Who has not seen
the sparkling eyes lose their lustre,
the roses and lilies fade from the
cheeks, and elasticity of step and
gracefulness of figure give way to re-
pu1sive haggishness With departing
beauty go sweetness of temper and
charm of speech, and nothing is left
of the sufferer but the CHASTITY contrast
with her former self. The world
would be gloomy indeed were there no
light in this dark picture. Nature is
forgiving In DR.. Greene's Nervura she
has founded means by which women
may regain their lost health and beau
ty, and assume their rightful positions
in the spheres in which they move, as
both ornaments and inspirations.
DR.. Greene's Nervura acts directly
upon the nerves and blood, which are
the life. Exhaustion, irritability and
moroseness are banished, and the cir
culation is strengthened and purified
