It IL the Great Restorative of Brain
and Nerves.

oh, those nerves Of ours, how they do
bother us Weak, tired, and nervous is
the complaint everywhere We over
work, dissipabe, weaken our bodies,
ruin our health, and finally break
down Sleeplessness and indigestion
are early symptoms, for the nerves are
too exhausted and irritable to permit
rest, and the stomach too weak to
digest food.
It is nerve and brain exhaustion
which makes the brain tired, and the
arm nerveless, the limbs trembling,
the muscles weak, and the whole body
without strength, energy or ambition
It is loss of nerve and vital power
which is slowly but surely sapping the
very life itself, and unless help is
sought from the right source, the end
will be shattered nerves, insanity with
softening of the brain, nervous pros
tration, heart failure, paralysis or pre-
mature death.
Beware of such symptoms A well
known druggist, Charles w. Eggles-
ton, 329 Park Avenue, Worcester,
Mass, suffered from nervous prostra-
ton and all its terrible symptoms He
writes the following letter telling
what he knows is the best way to get
well.
Some time ago I was taken with
nervous prostration. suffered terribly
with my nerves and could get no sleep
at all. I became fearfully exhausted,
my stomach was in a terrible condition
from dyspepsia, and could eat hardly
anything.
g used several medicines but with
out benefit Being in the drug bust
ness myself, and having had many
customers speak in the highest terms
Of DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, determined to try it.
After taking only one-haf bottle be-
gan to feel much better.
8 slept soundly all night, and my
appetite was splendid After taking
three bottles, ate three square meals
a day, and had not the slightest dis
tress- My nerves were perfectly strong
and l felt Ike d new man, being com
pletely cured of all my troubles.
8 Out of the respect I bear the manu-
facturers Of DIR. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, and my desire to
have the sick and suffering made well
and strong, I unhesitatingly say that
this medicine is the best and most
wonderful remedy known to-day
- 1t does Just what is said of it, it
cures disease. Don't hesitate to use it,
sufferers, for you will never regret it.
You will be made well and strong"
AS this letter is from a dealer in
medicine, his word is authority on such
matters. Everybody knows that DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy is the great leading medicine of
the age. Take it and you will be
made strong, healthy and vigorous.
Doctors recommend it because it is the
of physician, and be-
cause they As9lolo 1t cures

ialist in curing nervous and chronic
diseases, discovered it. He can be con-
suited free, personally or by letter, at

SNUBBED BIZ CONSULS.
Prince OF Monaco Called q "GambIing
Hell Keeper

Paris. March, 1.-THE young Duchess
of Marlborough, who. after spending a
few days by herself in Paris, Joined the
W K. Vanderbilt party at Monte Carlo,
has Just created an enormous sensation
by snubbing the Prince Of Monaco with
such severity that even Consuelo's most
fervent admirers feel compelled to blame
her mildly.
The prince, whose yacht was detained
at Marseilles by the great strike of dock
hands, telegraphed to Monte Carlo ask
ing the lady managers to postpone the
charity fair for two days, because he
wished to attend the opening. Learning
that the young duchess had arrived. he
also telegraphed to her. requesting that
she would accept a booth and attend
supper the same night aboard his yacht,
the Princess Alice.
The duchess did not deign to answer
personally, but sent curt regrets through
her secretary As soon as he reached
Monaco the little autoerat demanded ex-
plantations through the MarchioneSs Of
AngleSey, a friend Of both parties
Consuelo answered suavely. TELL him
that, prince though he is, there are some
people who object tS associating with a
gambling hell keeper
Prince Albert. who, unperceived, had
strolled toward the ladies to get his an
swer heard the remark ara turned on

Many Americans who, while processing
to- despise the prince among themselves,
love to hover about titled people, are
placed in the dreadfully embarra ssing
situation of having to cut the Wander
Marlborough party or incur the
Prince of Monaco's displeasure-
Meanwhile ConSuelo is stopping at the
Hotel Hermitage. She walks and drives
about attends the Casino concerts and
is seen everywhere She passes the
prince twenty times daily, just rs much

State railway ownership is not proving

But difficulties have arisen. The state

that citv for which the state refuses to
make an appropriation, although the
present structure has been condemned

ANCIENTO Had SENSE.
Dated Beginning of Year from
Opening of Spring
When All Things in Nature SiaTi
AfTesh.
Some Other Things in Which the
Ancients Have Given Us Points.

The ancients began their year with
the advent OF spring. How much more
appropriate thus to begin the New Year
with the new life of nature in the
awakening spring At this season all
processes throughout the natural world
start afresh.
The ancients also showed their
sagacity and appreciation Of the great
changes and active processes Of spring
time, by realizing that this is also the
time for renewed life and energy in the
human system. They wei knew that
the blood should be c1eansed from
impurities and the nerves re-invigo-
rated at this season. Hence the estab-
Eshment of the custom of taking q
good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy GUS
tom is followed by almost everybody
at the present day, few people Of in
telligence venturing to 60 through this
trying time of change from winter TO
summer without taking a spring med
icine.
The unanimity on this subject is a
settled fact the only question hereto
