LaGrippess Legacy

Worn out and exhausted in body and
mind, shattered nerves and a palpitat-
ing heart: no desire for food and no
ability to digest it; unable to rest or
sleep day or night-this is LaGrippe's
legacy. Long after the grip germs
have been driven out the poisons which
they created remain in the blood, the
heart, the lungs, the stomach, weaken
ing the nerves and lowering the vital
ity of the system. There is one way
OF destroying the seeds of disease and
death which are an inheritance from
grip. DR.. Miles Nervine will do it.
1t gives the shattered nerves a rest
and helps them to recover their
strength. 1t stimulates the appetite,
strengthens the stomach, assists as
similation and fills the blood with the
vital elements of life.
1.-TWO years ago, after a severe at
tack of the grip, 1 was overcome with
nervous p~rostration, heart trouble and
ervo dyspepsia. / was so low that
I could not bear to be spoken to, and
during the ervou Spasms which l
frequently suffered, 1 had no control Of
any of my organs. Every remedy known
to my physicians was tried without sue
cess and then my wife brought me a
bottle Of DR.. Miles Nervine. After US
ing one bottle I could speak a few
words. At the end of three months I
cOuld talk quite naturally ana now L
am completely cured of the trouble"
GEO A. ANDREWS,
Great harrington, Ass.
A trial package Of DR.. Miles favor
lite treatment for the grip, consisting
of DR.. Miles Nervine, DR.. Miles Anti
Pain Pills, and DR.. Miles Nerve and
Liver Pills, will be sent absolutely free
of cost to any person sending name
and address on a postal card, request
ing the SamDleS. and mentioning the
