 "Seven years ago my wife commenced having spasms or fits and 1 called in my home physician and he said she was para lyzed. He rubbed her with salt water and gave her calomel and she eventually got some better, but in short time she had another attack. She was confined to her bed for three months and the doctor could not help her. She had fits frequently some times very severe. Her hands would cramp so we could not oren them and she finally got so her jaws would become locked. Finally 1 saw the doctor was doing her no good and ordered bottle of Dr. Miles Re storative Nervine. She received SO much benefit from the first bottle that got some more. She has taken a number of bottles but has never had fit since taking the first dose She also thinks very highly of Dr. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills and is never without them.
