left you with shattered nervous system, with
loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia,
frequent headaches and morbid tendencies
you should strengthen the weakened nerves
with DIR. Miles Nervine. 1t will undo all
that grip has done, bring back appetite, rest
and restore the nerves to their normal activity.
Il want to write this testimonial for the
benefit of those who have suffered from that
dreaded disease-LaGrippe. suffered sew
eral weeks with it, and nothing tried seemed
to benefit me in any way, shape or form Il
suffered almost death) and finally my
daughter recommended DR.. Miles Nervine
to me and can truthfully say from the first
day ! felt better than in weeks. 1t gave me
relief, built up my shattered nerves and gave
me a splendid appetite. cannot speak too
highly of it and want to say, each and every
one who has suffered from LaGrippe will
end instant relief by getting bottle of DR..
Miles Nervine. Insist on having it and take
no other. 1t is simply splendid. Hoping
this will benefit some poor sufferer l remain"
