Miserable Lives Made Happy.

III health brings misery into our lives
and into the lives of others. Continued
physical weakness that the family physi-
clan cannot drive away brings serious
forebodings, depression and gloom.
Great numbers of people live out their
lives under these hard conditions because
the underlying cause OF all Is beyond the
reach Of the treatment known to the
ordinary practitioner. 1t takes a special
ist like DR.. Greene to cope with these
despairiug cases. This distinguished
physician is the most successful and ex-
perienced specialist in the world, and he
offers consultation and advice absolutely
free of charge. His discoveries in medi-
cine are truly wonderful. One of them
is the world-famed Nervura. They are
80 nicely adjusted to repair the waste OF
the system, so potent In their general
influence, and 80 permanent In their
beneficial effect that no claim seems too
broad for them. They will positively
cure all of the diseases which affiict man
kind, and the enthusiastic thousands
who owe to DR.. Greene their present
comfort, and in many cases life itself,
are living evidence of his unvarying sue
cess.
DR.. Greene's Office ia at "a Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, and all may con-
suit him either by personal call or by
letter through the mail, and in either
case his advice is given without charge.

Watervlle Mail: A great many
curses have been heaped upon Pullman,
the sleeping car millionaire, for what
was declared to be his Hnkind attitude
towards h,bor, and this in spite of the
fact that he built up an enormous indus7
try, in carrying on which, he gave en-
ployment to thousands of men, who but
for him would have had to look for work
elsewhere. And now that he is dead it
is found that by the terms of his will he
directed the use OF over million dollars
for the purpose Of establishing a manual
training school for the benefit of the
young. This act alone Is likely to ac-
complish more good than has ever been
done by the united effort of the men who
have growled because Pullman was in
their stupid way of thinking an enemy
Of labor.
