It is plain that nothing in the world can possibly take the place of restful sleep, yet many try to eke out an existence without this sustaining power. Their nerves are in such a state of tension that sleep is an impossibility, or at best is a series of hideous dreams. [tis notstrange that physical and mental veakness, amounting let-up to the strain. ism results. physical and mental exhaustion NERVURA Wrecks the erves.s NERVURA There is no sleep is wonderful. Complete gives place, after a few hours of The fatigue of body and mind disappears entirely while all the muscles are strong and the nerves absolutely calm. Sleep is the indication given by Nature as a guide to human pians to restore health. It shows that there are inherent in the wonderful human organism powers of recupera- tion which must have oppor- tunity to assert themselves. lased on this clear demon- stration, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy was constructed by Dr. Greene to help Nature com! at the ills that attack men and women. What no amount of powerful drugs could possibly accom- plish, can be successfully and promptly effected by healthy blood and nerves, the kind of blood which flows in strength- ening flood to every portion of the body, the condition of nerves which permits awak- ened Nature to seize its op- sriunity to restore to perfect ealth. Mrs. FLORENCE TAYLOR, of Courtiand Place, Bridgeport, Cona., writes : * For four years 1 was troubled with nervous debility and hysteria ina most aggravated form.

It {# a popular idea that if one be amply provided with warm clothing, wraps, a mackintosh, rubbers and an umbrella Httle risk is run of taking a cold, yet it is a matter of frequent ex- perience that, in gpite of all reason- able precautions, a catarrhal aftection may be developed or pneumonia set in. The fact that weariness, depression of spirits, fright, anxiety or something which has affected the nervous system unfavorably has preceded the attack is frequently overlooked. When free from every form of nervous debility a per- lson may expose himself to draughts, dampness and other usual causes of colds and escape entirely, while at an- other time, when weary or depressed from any cause, he may become the vietim of a fatal attack of pneumonia from a much slighter exposure. The nervous origin of colds seems to be | recognized by all physicians who have | made a special study of acute diseases {of the lungs and throat.

A novel experiment about to be made In felonizing is in the Argentine Re public. It has been fouhd that the French, and English immi grants for the most part have selected t ' (soTman he cities and large centres of popula- lon for their residence. In these places they have got control of many indus- tries and take a leading share in the commerce of the country. The Italians have been engaged heavily in river navigation, while the stream of Irish, which used to supply the demands for agricultural labor, filled up the ship yards and supplied the labor of the docks, flows no more. Some French, Swiss and German peasants have founded agricultural colonies, and in certain places the Russians and Poles form the bulk of the rural population. But the Argentine government has decided that none of these nations supplies, in suflicient numbers, a rural populatisn for the development of the country, and have decided to import Japanese farmers. A great concession has beem given in the province of\ Formosa for the first colony and ar rangements have been made to bring sver 20,000 Japanese farmers and settle ‘hem there. sy Cerman Luggage Stamps.
