“My little daughter who was

is now entirely well after taking
Dr. Miles’ Nervine only four

MRS. C. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus’
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv
ous diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
Dr. Miles’ Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re
turn your money.
