DR.. Miles Nervine has been before
the public number OF years and has
earned an enviable reputation by
its many wonderful cures Of nervous
diseases. 1t is perfectly harmless,
as it contains no trace OF opium,
morphin chloral, cocaine or other
narcotics or poisonous drugs, and
may be taken by most delicate peo-
pie without fear Of contracting the
drug habit. Neither does j. contain
alcohol or other stimulating agents
which build up false hope for time
and then let their victims down to
lower depths OF despondency. DIR.

~Some time ago our daughter, Ms. Eliza
beth Topping, was so badly afflicted with
nervous prostration that she nearly lost her
mind She was unable to do any work and
suffered so much that she got into the habit
OF using morphine to quiet her nerves. This
condition lasted nearly three years, and ste
was almost total wreck in body and mind
when lady told US about DR. Miles, Nerv-

bottles Of this wonderful remedy cured her
Of the morphine habit, and removed the trou-

Since then she has been well woman.

CAN'T KEEP IT UP.
Can't Deceive Augusta People Very Long
They Learn Quickly.

It is sometimes an easy matter to
fool the public, but you can't keep it
very long They are sure to find you
out: and every time a man is fooled,
another sl1eptic is made. We are
naturally skeptical when reading a
published statement given by some
stranger residing in a far-away place,
but the circumstances are entirely diff
ferent when home endorsement is pre-
scented. The testimony of local citi-
Zens renders deceit impossible. 1t is 50
easy for YOU to investigate. Read this
case:

long from the imperfect action of the

ca that his rest was much broken at

advertisement in our daily paper called
his attention to Doan's Kidney Pills
