and messenger boys were kept busy
answering questions and referring callers
to boarding houses and hotels, giving them
rates. The most annoying thing with
which the clerk had to contend was the
frequent calls on the part of the boarding
house keepers who were anxious to fill
their houses
MY neighbors are filling up all their
rooms" said an elderly woman who called.

I don't understand how that Is, when my

THAT does seem little singular" said
the clerk, turning over the leaves of the
register. 'Why, madam" he added, your

Now, that's too bad" the boarding
house mistress said. II know I was late
sending in my name, but had hoped for

A number of others in the same line

in order to have them favor their houses,
and a solemn promise was made to every

BEST SPRING MEDICINE.
The Palm Given to DR.. Greene's
Nerynrd. .
-.
That Grand Jury, the People, Have 80
Decided. e,--, 50 st..
Used by Hundreds Of Thousands in
Spring as Blood Medicine.

DR.. 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 It not only
purifies, 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 a 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 well and keep them well
during these months, so threatening
to the health of all, and when it is con-
sidefed that DR.. Greenes Nervura
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 1t is the very best spring
remedy for everybody to use.
, Mr.. Gustave Lelbach, OF 337 First
St., Jersey City, Nj, says
~ was troubled with sick headaches,
and could not sleep On account of the
pains in my head. 1 was suffering
night and day with dyspepsia, could
not eat anything, my stomach would
sour so. Ihad to starve myself to have
any ease. had to give up work at
last, was so nervous and miserable,
and l was falling away in flesh so that
my friends hardly knew me- l tried
several remedies, but without avail
AT last someone recommended DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy. tried one bottle and began to
improve. 1 started in to eat all right
then picked up my health; my head
aches disappeared, and my weakness
and sour stomach went away. l used
three bottles, and could sleep all night
with ease; used six bottles, and felt
like new man. can now do a hard
days work without any trouble, and 1
am as happy as a bird in spring. was
so miserable, always suffering, always
In pain, but now am like new man"
Use DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy this spring, for it is the
discovery and prescription of a we'll
known physician, DIR. Greene, of 35
W. 18th ST., New York City, who is
responsible for it's beneficial action,
and who can be consulted free of
charge, personally or by letter.
