nal and external medicine sufficient

cure ever made and is now recognized
as the only safe and positive cure for
that annoying and disgusting disease.

BEST SPRING MEDICINE.
The Palm Given to DR.. Greene's
Nervura.
That Grand Jury, the People, Have 50
Decided.
Used by Hundreds of Thousands in
Spring as Blood Medicine.

DIR. Greene's Nervura 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
people use it during the trying spring
months, to tone up anew the relaxed
nerves, and re-invigorate 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
puriies, 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
to make them we'll and keep them well
during these months, so threatening
to the health of all, and when it is con
4 mr..
blood and nerve remedy is made en-
tirely from pure, health-giving vege-
table remedies, and that people give
it more testimonials of cure than any
other remedy on earth, no one can
doubt that it is the very best spring
remedy for everybody to use.
