about Is years ago, / was taken very
sick. After seven months l got over that,
but have never been we'll since. / have
! suffered terribly with pains in the chest,
back, kidneys and head. There was dis
agreeable feeling in the eyes and l would
be very sick in the morning. My mind
was always gloomy and I felt very low
| spirited. l had terrible numb spells. and
would have to be rubbed some time be-
| fore l could get around. Some of these
numb spells were so severe my friends
| thought 1 would not recover from them.
Il tried doctors and medicines, but got
no better. Finally L began the use of DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
as my husband had been most miraculous
by cured by it. After using it a short
time there was a most wonderful i'm
provement.
Il continued to steadily gain in every
respect until l was cured of all these ter
rible ailings. This wonderful medicine had
now cured my husband and myself of the
most fearful suffering, but this was not
all 1 now want to tell about my little
girl.
She has never been well since she was
allied her. She was out of her mind most
of the time and had constant pain in her
side. She has had spasms continually,
from six to seven a month.
She is the smallest child for her age
that can be found All medicines could
do nothing for her until l gave her DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy, and then she was cured in a short
time. I cannot say enough in praise of
this wonderful medicine, it has done so
much for me and my family. 1 heartily
advise everybody to take it"
If our readers viii take example from
this case-and such cases are constantly
being reported in the newspapers-much
of the sickness and suffering which rem
ders life burden viii be removed. 1t is
a fact that Dr. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy does cure.
1t is not patent medicine, but the pre-
scription Of the most successful specialist
in curing nervous and chronic diseases
City. He has the largest practice in the
world. and this grand medical discovery
is the result of his vast experience. The
great reputation OF DR.. Greene is
guarantee that his medicine will cure.
and the fact that he can be consulted by
anyone at any time, free Of charge. per
sonauy or by letter. gives absolute as
surance of the beneficial action of this
wonderful medicine.

With Somebody.
A Serious Question to Great Many,

Who is to blame?

Who is to blame?
Surely someone is to blame for the enor-
nous amount of sickness and suffering in
the world. Too often people are prone tc
throw the responsibility for their condition
upon some higher power. In nine cases
out of ten this is wrong. for in most
cases the blame lies entirely with the suf-
ferer.
1t has been shown by constantly demon
strated fact, proven by the experience OF
thousands upon thousands of people that
most of the difficulties and diseases from
which people suffer are easily and readily
cured by the use of DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. which is, with
out doubt the greatest medical discovery
Of modern times. 1t is sure to cure
disease.
