our working world very large. Many OF
are hard workers. Our laboring classes
are found in herds and hordes in the
"hives of industry" What is all this work
for? In most cases it is for daily bread,
in many for maintenance of others. Great
numbers also work to acquire wealth.
Some for great commercial prominence.
Some to preserve intact a splendid inheri-
tance. Necessity, generosity and ambition
are the inspiration of all classes of indus
try, and the object of every one falls to the
ground when ill-health attacks him.
Maintaining health is the most vital
thing; in the world for workers Of every
class, and the usefulness of Dr.. Gfeene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, as a
strengthened of the constitutional and
vital powers, is beyond all question. This
great remedy enters into partnership
with Nature and helps human beings do
their work without giving up to prema-
ture decay. The strain of work is on the
minds of some, on the bodies Of others.
but the nourishing of either, or both, is
in the nerves and blood. Nervura acts
directly on the fountains of health and 4
its strengthening power is wonderful.
