Z WAS Run Down.
Seepless, Nervous, Lacked Ambition and Was
Never Without That Tired, Listless
Feeling; Cured by
Dr.. Miles Restorative Nervne.

The nerves of the human body act
as messengers to convey to the brain
impressions of outward effects, and
to convey from the brain to the mus
cles and organs nerve force or vital
power. Without this vital power
the heart, stomach, lungs, bowels,
and all organs of the body would be
unable to perform their functions
and life would cease. When these
messengers become deranged or the
supply of nerve force is depleted, the
best remedy to restore them to their
normal condition is DR.. Miles Re-
Stnrative Nervine. 1t creates a good
appetite, gives refreshing sleep, and
cures that tired feeling. 1t acts on
the nervous system, which controls
all the processes of the body, toning
it up into sound and vigorous action.
1t overcomes the excessive wasting
and puts back the lost flesh.
Lester S. Corbitt, Danbury, Conn,
says: ''Three years ago | was conf
pletely run down, and was suffering

ness and sleeplessness. / was never

Cuban's Reason For Suggesting fine
Amputation of a Hand.

According to Inspector General
Breckinridge, who recently returned
from Cuba and Porto Rico, the sense of
moral responsibility of the average Gu
ban is extremely limited. This was
strongly impressed upon him one day at
a military station near Santiago. A
gang of bandits had been rounded up
by the troops and with them dozen
horses stolen from plantation in the
vicinity. The general took look at
the prisoners and noticed among them
a man who appeared to belong to bet
ter class than his companions. He was
called forward and through an inter
prefer the general questioned him.
''How did you get mixed up in thisG''
asked the inspector general.
'I had nothing to do with the
affair" was the reply. II am the
schoolteacher in the district where
these men live, and give them advice.
l give every one advice who comes for
it,
''But, suggested the officer who ac-
companied General Breckinridge. "that
fellow told the robbers to cut off the
hand of the owner of the horses. -
"Ask him why he made such malig-
nant suggestion, said the general TO
the interpreter.
The question was put, and the school
teacher shrugged his shoulders 1.-The

No, do not kill him. Cut off one hand;
