Thomas Moore, wittiest of poets, wrote;
81 find the doctors and the sages
Have differed in all climes and ages,
And two in fifty scarce agree"

And two in fifty scarce aglee.'
Doctors do disagree about your disease, one
physician telling you one thing and one an
other. but the reason for this is plain 1t is
because you consult ordinary practitioners,
whose time is spent among their fever pa
tients Such physicians have no experience
in chronic cases like yours. If you wish to
learn exactly what your complaint is, by all
means consult a skilled specialist. physician
who makes the treatment of nervous, chronic
and lingering diseases special life work, and
who therefore knows from vast experience
just what your trouble is and precisely how
TO cure it. Why not, for instance, consult
DR.. Greene Of 30 West 14th St. New York
City, about your case ? You can do so without
charge or cost either by calling or writing to
him, for he gives consultation and advice alb
solutely free. He makes this class of disease
a speciality, has seen and cured thousands of
cases like yours, in fact, he has the largest
practice and greatest success in curing dis
! eases of any physician in the world. His
medicines also differ from those used by other
doctors for he uses no poisonous drugs but
cures his patients with harmless vegetable
medicines, which, because they act in har
mony with the laws of life, are always cura
/ tive and strengthening. One of his medica
| discoveries, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, is used throughout the
civilized world, and he has discovered no less
wonderful cures for all forms and conditions
of disease. Why not consult him at once
! you cannot call write him all about YOU
complaints freely, fully and in perfect con
| fidence. 1t will cost you nothing to learn eX
actly what ails you, and his counsel and ad
vice are sure to do you good.
