SOMNIA, the great curse of the Ameri- can people, is the direct result of Nervous haustion, consequent upon Overwork, Worry, and Mental Strain. The common recourse of the sufferer, is to Opium, Mor- phine, Chloral, Bromides and other drugs whose continued use is fatal. VERVE ONTAINS none of these substances. It is purely vegetable, acts directly upon the exhausted nerve centres, and by its tonic action, produces a healthful, natural sleep, with no after effects. Two or three doses have cured permanently cases of Insomnia, of months’ standing. In Neuralgia, Nervous Headache and the loss of energy, following overwork or continued excitement, it is of inestimable value. Merchants and Business men, Clergymen, Lawyers, Authors, and all persons subject to long-continued mental labor, will find natural sleep easily at hand with this remedy in their possession, Its con- tinued use is not necessary. In most cases six or eight doses will restore tone to the nervous system and enable the sufferer to sleep without further treatment. Order only from reliable direct, enclosing $1, from the VERVE DEPOT, Broadway and 33rd Street, New York. “VIENNA” ICED COFFEE. DELICIOUS. SERVED ONLY AT Common Sense Lunch Room, 135 Broapway (cor.
