A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Fooled.

Tho following graphic statement will be

the numb creepy sensation that existed in my
arms, hands and legs. had to rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, to overcome
In measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession Of them. In addition, l had q
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indescribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said 1t
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there is no
relief Once 1t fastens upon person, they
say, 1t continues Its insidlouS progress until
1t reaches vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. i had been doctoring
year and a half steadily, but with no par
ticular benefit, when saw an advertisement
OF DR. Miles Restorative Nervine, procured a
bottle and began using 1t. Marvellous as 1t
may SEEM but few days had passed before
every bit OF that creepy feeling had left me,
and there has not been even the slightest
indication of Its return. II now feel as
we'll as l ever did,, and have gained ten
pounds in weight, though had run down
from 40 to 1T. Four Others have used DR..
