The great poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes, once said: "If all drug's were thrown Into tuo sea, It would be all the better for mankind, and all the worse for the fishes." Of course the genial poet referred only to poisonous drugs as used by most pbytlclans. II certainly could not have meant all medicines, for Nature, in ber woods and fields, lias, been most proline Id yielding up her treasures of harmless, vegetable remedies for every disease, The wonderful dlscoverlei of tun famous Dr. Greene,; of SI Temple l'lace, Boston, Mass., amply prove the fact. Indeed, this skilled specialist In the treatmi nt of nervous, chronic and lingering i omplalnts, uses in his enormous practice, absolutely no poisonous drugs, but rou tines his treatment solely to the use of harmlei-8 vegetable remeOI. s Ills worldvltleknnwii med icine, Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem edy, Is only one of his many remarkable discov eries. Ills extraordinary success In curing nil eases of w atever name or nature, the limum-r-able restorations to health under the use of these marvelous curative medicines as prescribed by Dr. Greene, establish beyond doubt that Nature has provided reined'es for each and every phase of disease, and that Dr. Greene, by bis deep la vestigat Ions and his enormously large experience, has discovered and prepared rem. dies which surely an certainly cure thee complicated pases of chronic disease. Any sufferer can dem onstrate this fact, as Dr, Greene gives all the nrlvlleire of connu It Inir him. Dersona lv 01 bv let. itr, absolutely free of charge If you are out of health and nave raiiea to do curea, see Dr. Greene at once, or write to turn rreely ant fully about your caae. You can do so In perfect and absolute confidence, He will explain your com. plaint and advise you what to do to be cured. BOMERSET. Ney BIddIo has a log job for Bumap & Co.

I rnllld not eat nnv break- 0 fast; but two das I ago I began taking your Favorite Pre scription 1 twice a day, a teaspoonful at a time and I am pleased to sav that I have not had a vomiting spell for two momiues." The "Favorite Pre- scription " relieves morn ing sickness and the other discomforts of the oeriod preceding motherhood by purifying the whole system and by strengthening and invigorating tue spe .$ cial organs involved. Morning sickness is due to the efforts of nature to remove from the body every bit of impurity which might offset the health of the little one to come. The direct cause of the nau sea is an Irritation of the nerves of the femi. nine organism, 'which have a sympathetic, connection with tho nerves of the stomach. The "Favorite Pre scription" goes di rectly to the seat of the trouble, soothes the ruffled nerves and brings comfort at once. It is a safe medicine to take. It contains no al cohol, opium or other dangerous drug. It contains no sugar or syrup. It aids the dices. tion and is a gen- . .. , erai-system tonic, while It acts directly and strongly on the ouc special sci oi organs. in A WM fcf? lis llfl) r$ A. clcanlines, and WjffigBZ KSSJt There's soaps Icavejnclo sno, of ony ,u no rcsuit uu kviv..-n FAIRBANKS FAIRY SOAP PURE , Sold everywhere In one quality size for tho Laundry and general use.
