MINISTER ARN0LD'S tEITER
Or. Greene's NeNura Built Up His System And
Restored His Energy. He Says: Publish
This Letter For Others Good"

When you are run down with over
work and mental strain, the world is a
dark and dreary place. Lassitude and
WEAKNESS have possession of you. Every
morning yon wake unrcfreshed. Your
blood is thin and impure. You do not
get the benefit of your food. Your appe-
tite has gone from you and the whole
machinery of existence is out Of order.
Do You realize that when the blood
is foul. there is a steady infusion of
poison into the muscle and fibre of the
body? How can you look for strength
while this is going on?
DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy is the most poten, medi-
cine for this distressing condition known
to the world to-day. 1t is almost mar
vicious in its operation and there is no
mystery about it. 1t drives out foulness
by natural means, and without stimula-
ton. Stomach, liver, and kidneys begin
promptly. with its help, to do their
proper work of strengthening and drain
ing the system. You are helped almost
instantly by it, and there is a steady
progress to absolute health

People who only know the gayer side
of Dieppe would be surprised to hear
of the existence of the cave dwellers
there. One is apt to connect such peo-
pie with the knawed bones and flint
implements Of prehistoric times. But
here they are at Dieppe within stones
throw Of the casino. and they may be
seen any day about the town selling
the shellfish from the rocks outside
their habitations. They have certain
marked characteristics, one being a pc
culiar complexion Of their own that
can be traced largely to a disinclina-
ton on the part of the cave dweller to
avail himself Of the water that washes
so close to his door. Their language
also is peculiar. but whether it really
belongs to the stone age no one seems
to have discovered. They have to hold
license from the municipality, though,
which savors of no age but the present.
