ployed as a salesman in MIN

a number of friends IN the city
and In Lexington, his native
county. The report that he had
been shot natural v created strong
feeling against those who had
committed the deed, and was
made.a hundred fold more bitter
because ct the fact that his wife.

AFTER THE GRIP-WHAT?

You thought you had the best
of the grip and you determined
to wear it off; but somehow it
does not wear off as you expected.
You pass restless, sleepless nights
and get up in the morning feeling
more exhausted than when you
retired. You are irritable and
nervous and have no appetite for
food You 60 about it in a list
less, halfhearted sort of way, and
everything you undertake to do
seems to go wrong. Do you know
that you are on the verge of ner-
vous prostrations You need help {;
and you need it more now than
you did when the grip was at it's
worst.
DR.. Miles Nervine is the best
medicine you can get to build up
your shattered nerves and restore
your wasting strength. 1t IN
variablv insures sound sleep and
gives the overstrung nerves their
natural rest. 1t makes the ap-
