There are lots of good things the

the disease comes from overwork,
dissipation or exposure, causing weak

and strength, we have the one sure
remedy in Or. Gums Blood and Nerve
Tonic. These tablets taken with

making strong, steady nerves and in.
creasing the strength, producing solid
flesh at the rate of to lbs. per

sell Dr. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic
for 75c. per box or boxes for 50. For

remedy, was never made. Doctors
know nothing about this remedy only
