DR.. Miles, NerVine

Nearly every disease Is the sign
of poverty, either of the blood or of
the nerves. When the brain cells
and nervous tissues are used up
faster than they are repaired, not
only the brain and nerves, but every
vital organ of the body cries out
for help. Headaches, neuralgia,
heart disease, nervous dyspepsia
and liver and kidney troubles, run
rampant In the helpless system, de-
stroying whatever strength re-
mains until at last the breakdown
comes, and then-- DIR. Miles
Restorative Nervine is doing a
world of good for such weak, ner-
vOus people, whose brain and body
are overtaxed, but who may yet be
saved from a state Of Undesirable
wretcbedness, and restored to lives
of happiness and industry. By
soothing and strengthening the Sc
cretive glands of the digestive
organs it facilitates digestion and
assimilation, while the nervous
system is rapidly built up again
and put to work without confusion,
