1t is positively necessary to mend the nervous
weakness of the stomach - to regulate its action
and re-establish its natural functions The stom-
ach secretions have been interfered with.
Dr. Greenes Nervura will do this where no other
remedy will have the desired effect
If you are constipated, and most stomach suffer
ers are don't take the first cathartic that comes
along, because the means you are employing to
make your bowels act is one of the things that is
running your stomach and your digestion. Take
Dr.. Greenes Nervura before and after your meals,
and write to DR.. Greene about your condition,
especially about your constipation You will get
DR.. Greene's advice Free and it will be the advice
which exactly fits your case.
Doctors usually make light of constipation, and
the reason none of them cures stomach trouble
permanently is that they don't know how to make
your bowels perform their regular function with
out upsetting the stomach.
Write or call on Dr. Greene, 101 Fifth Avenue,
New York, for the advice that is known to effect
a cure in all these obstinate and chronic cases.
The person who begins to-day to take
DR.. Greenes Nervura for stomach trouble, and
will take little before and little after each
will be digested with perfect comfort, and after
two or three days he will become an ardent advo-
cate of DIR. Greene's Nervura, which has cured its
thousands and tens of thousands, and stands to-day
the conqueror of stomach troubles of every form
It takes away that awful weight, and it does it
at once. 1t attacks every nervous disease, first,
through the stomach nerves.

DR.. Greene S Ner'vura
Restores The Normal Stomach Condition

When you take a tablespoonful of DR.. Greene's
Nervura directly before a meal, and another
directly after the meal, that weight does not
come down on your stomach.
In two days time the spectre of big dinner
vanishes. You don't have to remain slave to
your stomach or to medicine. Dr. Greene's
Nervura attends to the stomach, where the real
distress and the real danger lie.
1t may require a few days to get the stomach
exactly toned but the relief is marked from the
first day
DR.. Greene's Nervura is, without any question,
the very finest remedy for bad digestion and for
weakened stomachs that the world has ever
known.
