Often be fore a sufferer realize* what the trouble is, he it on the verge of a complete nervoui breakdown. It is o f the utmost importance to keep your nervous systtm in good con dition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa Bonner, 8 jj N. i8th St , Birming ham, Ala., says: " I have been suffering with nerv ous prostration for nine or ten years. Have tried many of the best doctors in Birmingham, but they all failed to reach ftiy case. I would feel as if I was smothering; finally I went into convulsions. My little girl saw Dr. Miles' Nervine advertised in the papers and I-a t once began to take It. I continued to take it for some time and now I am well.’’ If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are in a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need some thing to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the mat ter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. Dr. Miles’ Nervine ' has proven its value in nervous dis order* for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other rem:dies have failed to help you. Sold by all drugglata.
