When was boy sickness was

TO De endured and little or no thought
was taken 10 effect cure unless the
end seemed to be near, when efforts
were then often too late. Now all
this is changed. Disease of every
sort and kind is considered by intelli-
gent people as an insidious foe
against which we should battle. and
defeat If it is a possible thing, hence
when DR.. Greene receives a card of
answers to questions, and he sees
at a glance at the sheet that the pa
tient is suffering from a severe attack
of catarrh he readily and conscien-
| tiously warns that person, be he young
or old, that catarrh is the first step
ping stone to consumption and that a
cure now comparatively easy, simple
and inexpensive will be entirely out
of the question a few years later es-
pecially if the patient is nearing or
past middle life. One of our readers
is asking us why the doctor is so pos
tive of this fact If you were in his
loffice today and should ask this ques-
ton he could take You into his back
Office and show you the records of
thousands of cases that started in
simple catarrh but being checked in
season an absolute and permanent
cure resulted. What is true in ca
tarrh is equally true in hundreds of
lother cases that he treats so success
fully.
Nervous troubles of all kinds are a
speciality with Dr. Greene and he has
shown conclusively that the condi-
ton of the nerves has an all-impor-
tant influence in all chronic troubles.
His remedies act upon the system
through the nerves and blood and be-
ing made entirely of vegetable in
gradients they have demonstrated by
the records in his Office their wonder
full efficiency.
Copies of each letter that he sends
are made q part of the records SO
the be the correspondence long or
short, connected or interrupted by
an interval of years, the doctor can
at a moments notice inform himself
as to the history of the disease as
though each case was the only one
he was treating; thus the reader will
see how rational and natural treating
diseases by correspondence is, and the
doctors success is the best guarantee
of the feasibility of the plan. The
consultations, whether by mail or
orally are free, the charges made be-
ing simply for the medicines pre-
scribed. Thus it will be seen that it
will cost nothing to have the Doctor S
opinion on your case, and then you
can use your own judgment in re-
gard to ordering the medicines that
he suggests will effect the cure.
We hear one of our readers asking
how is it that Dr. Greene can treat a
case that he mas never seen more sue
cessfully than the family physician
who has known the patient from
birth. That is just the question that
we put to the genial Doctor, and here
is his reply: your family physician
has of necessity to have more or less
knowledge of every conceivable COM
plant and disease that flesh is heir
70. He has such a wide range OF
practice that it is utterly impossible
that he should be a specialist in any
lone branch. We devote no time what
lever in this office to accidents. surg
cry, or a thousand and one branches
of materia medica, but confine our
selves to chronic diseases and nervous
disorders, and their attending ills
such as dyspepsia, rheumatism, kid
ney troubles, catarrh, nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, blood and
| skin troubles. Thus it will readily
be seen that we can do our patients
much better service than it is possible
for a general practitioner to do fol
his nearest neighbor.
But beyond all this, there is the
fact that our experience is not with
a few cases but thousands of cases
; that our records Of every case are CON-
plete, making a perfect history to re-
fer to whenever unusual complications
present themselves. That which must
necessarily be experimental with any
local doctor is with us practica
certainty. Certain symptoms indicate
with exactness to us the condition
with which we have to cope and how
successful our methods are the rec

This is a very important part of the
business and has to have the careful
supervision of men of long experience
in this department. The second floor
of the block is devoted wholly to con-
sultation rooms and the advertising
department, for it should be known
and is known to all intelligent readers
of newspapers that it is no little
work to prepare the advertisements
that are sent broadcast making known
the curative qualities of DR.. Greene s
several specifics. Taken altogether
it is a most interesting establishment
to visit and 1 have got to confess that
Jalthough 1 have been in a great many
medical offices and know something
of the inside workings of such estab-
iishments. there is no more conscien-
tions work done in any medical office
in Boston or in the United States,
than that being done by DIR. Greene
and his noble staff of expert special
lists at "a Temple Place, Boston.
