Nilton's UnrivaIled Tribute to Women,

When Milton wrote those words which
stand unrivalled as n tribute to women:
Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her
eyes: in all her gestures, dignity and
love- he did not have in mind a weak,
nervous, Sickly, nerVe-eXhausted and
pain-raked woman suffering from female
complaints, but one in the glow of perfect
and strength. To be a perfect wife
or mother every woman should first of all
see that she is in good health. This is
certainly not difficult at the present day,
when such an eminent specialist in the
treatment of female diseases as DR..
Greene. "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass,
and tho greatest success in curing all
forms Of female weakness and diseases,
can be consulted free and his advice and
counsel obtained by any woman absolute
ly without charge, either by calling or
writing about her case. From his enorm-
Gus experience he knows just how to cure
your complaints, just how to advise you,
and he uses only harmless vegetable med
icines which are wonderful in soothing,
healing, strengthening and invigorating
the female system. one of his grand dis
coverieS, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
ncrve remedy. is known and used all over
the world, and he has discovered many
other medicines no less marvellous in their
curative effects. No woman afflicted with
female troubles or who is out of health in
any way, should hesitate to write about
her case to DIR. Greene, and she viii get,
free of charge, information and advice
which is almost sure to lead to her COM
plctc restoration to health.
