The Palm Given TO DR.. Greene's
Neryura.
That Grand Jury, the People, Have 80
Decided.
Used by Hundreds of Thousands in
Spring as Blood Medicine.

DIR. Greenc's Neryura blood and nerve
remedy is indeed . The Worlds Great
Spring Medicine 1t has come to be
recognized by almost everybody as the
best possible spring medicine to take,
and hundreds of thousands of our
geople use it during the trying spring
months, TO tone up anew the relaxed
nerves, and re-ingigorate and enrich
the blood.
A spring medicine is necessity if
one wishes to keep in perfect health
and vigor during the changes from
winter to summer. This grand spring
tonic, this perfect spring medicine, DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, is exactly what the system
needs at this season 1t not only
purifes, but makes rich. red blood it
not only strengthens and invigorates
the nervous system. but re-energizes
and revitalizes the nerves by feeding
them with renewed nerve force and
power. 1t is not only an aid to diges-
ton, but it creates regular, natural
and healthy action of the bowels, liver,
kidneys, which in the spring are al
ways sluggish and inactive.
In fact, it is just what people need
20 make them well and keep them well
during these months, so threatening
to the health of all, and when it is con-
sidered that DR.. Greenes Nervura
blood and nerve remedy is made en-
tirely from pure, health-giving vege-
table remedies, and that people give
1t more testimonials of cure than any
ether remedy on earth, no one can
doubt that it is the very best spring
remedy for everybody to use.
