What the Foet Moore Thought of Doctors.
Thomas Moore, wittiest of poets, wrote:

81 find the doctors and the sagcs
Have differed in all climes and ages,
And two In fifty scarce agree"
Doctors do disagree about your disease,
one physician telling you one thing and
one another but the reason for this is
plain 1t is because you consult ordinary
practitioners, whose time is spent among
their fever patients. Such physicians
have no experience in chronic cases like
yours. If YOU wish to learn exactly what
Sour complaint is, by all means consult a
skilled specialist, a physician who makes
the treatment of nervous. chronic and
lingering diseases special life work, and
who therefore knows from vast expert
ence Just what your trouble is and pre-
Cisely how to cure it, Why not, for In
stance, consult DR.. Greene Of "a Temple
Place Boston, Mass, about your case"
You can do so without charge or cost
either by calling or writing to him, for he
gives consultation and advice absolutely
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 ana greatest success in
curing diseases Of any physician in the
world. His medicines also differ from
those used by other doctors, for he uses
no poisonous drugs, but cures mis- patients
with harmless vegetable medicines,
which, because they act in harmony With
the laws of life, are always curative and
strengthening. one OF Ills medical DIS
coveries, DR., Greanes 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 onca? If YOU cannot call write
him all about your complaints freely,
fully and in perfect confidence. 1t Will
cost you nothing to learn exactly what
ais you and his counsel and advice arc
sure to do you good.
