If you have had La Grippe, you can
realize something of the suffering en-
dured by its thousands of victims every
year. You know, perhaps, how it tears
and strains at your spinal column; how
1t twists your neck and fairly seems to
split your head wide open. You know
how il seizes you with vice-like grasp,
whirls you up into the black cloud of a
nervous cyclone-then suddenly let's you
60 and you fall back bruised and wound
cd when the storm is over. Perhaps you
also know that Dr. Miles Nervine will
kill La Grippe-That it is wonderful
healer and close up the lacerated wounds
and revives the vanquished spirits.
Thousands of unfortunate victims have
found in that great nerve food and tonic
just the medicine needed to repair the
injuries inflicted by the modern scourge,
La Grippe. If you don't need it tell
your friends about it. twill help them.
