A Novel Christmas Gift.
From American Medicine.

Every physician who has been in
practice several years finds that many
of his patients could not, or would not,
at least have not, paid his bills for pro-
fessional services. He remains unde-
cided after many attempts to collect
whether it is of any use to continue
efforts, and to waste further postage
stamps. One of our subscribers last
Christmas Day decided upon a unique
method of therapeutics for this en-
demic financial disease. 1t seems a
comendable plan at least of ending
an irritating trouble in bookkeeping
Will it encourage the dilatory to seek
for future holiday gifts by method
they have found effective? Our CORE
spendent does not appear solicitous.
He sent out about 500 letters worded

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.. Greene's Nervura before and after your meals,
and write to DIR. 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 DIR. Greene, 101 Fifth Avenue,
New York, for the advice that is known to effect
cure in all these obstinate and chronic cases.
The person who begins to-day to take
DR.. Greene'S Nervura for stomach trouble, and
will take little before and a little after each
meal, will be surprised to find his very first meal
will be digested with perfect comfort, and after
two or three days he will become an ardent advo-
cate of DR.. Greenes Nervura, which has cured its
thousands and tens of thousands and stands to-day
the conqueror of stomach troubles of every form.
1t takes away that awful weight and it does it
at once. 1t attacks every nervous disease first
through the stomach nerves.

DR.. Greene S NerVura
Restores The Normal Stomach Condition

When you take a tablespoonful of DR.. Greene's
Nervura directly before meal, and another
directly after the meal, that weight does not

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.

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.

A Triumph of Forestry a..

According to United States Consul
the pin maritime" or marine pine, in
the Landes and adjoining departments
of France, undoubtedly marks the
most remarkable achievement ever
wrought by human agency in the mod
ification of natural conditions of soil
and climate for the benefit of man
kind"
A century ago the region between
most of its extent mot only one of the
most barren in the world, but appar-
emily altogether hopeless of reclama-
ton" Sand dunes we're advancing
from the sea at rates varying up to
200 feet a year, swallowing up fields,
meadows, vineyards, houses, churches,
villages, and leaving nothing but a
gray desert. The old forests had been
destroyed. and now nature was taking
its revenge. There seemed no hope
for the heart of France, when it oc-
Cured to Bremonnier, a native of the
threatened region, that the devastation
might be arrested by planting the pin
maritime"
The idea was submitted to Napoleon,
who saw its value and ordered it's exc
cution. The result, says Consul Tour
gee, has been the greatest of his vic
tories. To-day the dark squadrons of
the pin martins are posted on thou
sands of sandy slopes, faithful guar
dams in the shelter of which the vine
yards and wheat fields rest secure"
They give not only protection but
profit. Lumber, firewood, turpentine
and all the by-products of resinous
distillation are now produced in such
abundance here as not only to pre-
vent the need of importation, but to
make southwest France a considerable
and profitable exporter" even to the
United States.
Meanwhile, by permitting the reck-
less destruction of our own much
richer long-leafed pines, which former
ly protected our water sheds and
which asked only to be let alone. we
are bringing upon ourselves the same
desolation that threatened France a
century ago.

In the Matter of "Ile."

Provided always that some "ornery"
neighbor did not empty can of coal
oil into another neighbours well and
into the dirt extracted therefrom. the
reported find" of oil in the northwest
ern suburbs of Phoenix may prove in
teresting enough to follow up. But
the higher ones hopes are elevated the
greater the depression when disap-
pointment comes, and to avoid extreme
disappointment it might be well to OBJ
serve two elementary facts when
building on the possibility of finding
oil in the immediate environs of Phoe-
nix:
First-The smell" of crude petro-
leum is like unto nothing else under
the earth or upon the surface of the
same. 1t cannot be confounded with
the perfume of refined petroleum, and
The Republicans oil reporter made an
olfactory assay which yielded high
percentage of kerosene.
Second-A well but forty feet deep
in the locality mentioned would be
merely into the gravel which underlies
the made" soil of the valley. The dis
covery of petroleum at such a depth
would be extremely improbable.
